Online Text Editor

Quick online notepad that can open, edit, and save plain text files.

Get access to an online text editor with this extension. In the age of tab overload and constant context-switching, the simplest tool can become a life-saver when it is always one click away. Most people keep a text editor or sticky-notes app running in the background, yet it’s amazing how often we still end up copying snippets into chat windows, emails, or random search bars just because the right program wasn’t open. The Online Text Editor lives in the browser action area; click the icon (or pin it for single-tap speed) and a crisp, distraction-free textarea drops into view. Open any plain-text file—from configuration snippets to your grocery list—through the built-in file picker. The FileReader API ingests the content completely offline; nothing ever leaves your machine. Edit in a resizable, spell-check-friendly textarea. The layout is intentionally barebones so your keyboard shortcuts work exactly as expected (Ctrl + A, Ctrl + Z, etc.). Save with one tap: the extension wraps your text in a Blob and streams it to the Downloads API. You decide where it lands, and because the file remains a standard UTF-8 text document, it opens flawlessly in any editor or mobile app. Speed – The popup opens faster than launching Notepad, VS Code, or your OS sticky-note widget. Portability – Your notes stay in standard text form; no proprietary databases or sync locks. Privacy – No accounts, no telemetry, and no intrusive permissions.
