WP Notepad puts a notepad textarea on your site. Visitors can jot notes without logging in, and notes are kept in their own browser’s LocalStorage — by default nothing is sent to or stored on the server.
Add a notepad in three ways:
<ul>
<li>Classic widget — add the “Notepad” widget to any widget area.</li>
<li>Block — insert the “WP Notepad” block in the editor.</li>
<li>Shortcode — place <code>[wpnotepad]</code> in post content or theme templates.</li>
</ul>
Features:
<ul>
<li>Notes auto-save to the browser as you type, and are restored on return.</li>
<li>Live character counter and a confirm-protected Clear button.</li>
<li>The textarea grows automatically to fit its content.</li>
<li>Copy to clipboard, download as a .txt file, or import a note from a file.</li>
<li>Multiple notes in one notepad via tabs.</li>
<li>Optional auto-delete (TTL): notes expire after a configurable number of days.</li>
<li>Optional, opt-in cross-device sync for logged-in users (see below). Disabled by default.</li>
<li>Accessibility: labelled textarea, character-count association, polite save announcements and visible focus styles.</li>
<li>Block styling via the editor’s color, typography, spacing and alignment controls.</li>
<li>Available in English and Japanese.</li>
</ul>
Privacy / cross-device sync: By default notes live only in the visitor’s browser and are never stored on the server. An administrator may optionally enable “cross-device sync” under Settings → WP Notepad. When enabled, only logged-in users’ notes are saved to their own WordPress user account (user meta) and synced across their devices via the REST API. Guests (logged-out visitors) always remain LocalStorage-only.
