Notepad-online is a note-taking add-on for Chrome that can be used to quickly add and save notes. It can run both offline and online.

Download and install it from the Chrome Web Store here.

After it is installed, you can also pin or unpin the Notepad-online add-on using the Extensions icon next to the Chrome address bar.

There will be two options to choose from for running it.

These are:

• Without registration: No signup is needed for this. It is for use on a single device only, works offline and does not support syncing across devices.

This example uses the online mode. For this, signup with an email and password.

Then, log in to Notepad-online with that.
