About JotLink

A notepad that gets out of your way.

JotLink is a free online notepad. You open the page, type, and your note is saved automatically at its own web address. Send that address to someone and they see the same note. That's the whole idea: no accounts, no folders, no settings to learn.

What you can do

• Write and autosave. Every note saves itself a moment after you stop typing.
• Share a link. One click copies the note's address.
• Edit together. Anyone with the link can edit, and JotLink asks before one person's changes overwrite another's.
• Lock with a password. Make a note read-only for everyone who doesn't know the password.
• Pick your own address. Use a name like /team-notes instead of a random one.
• Format with Markdown. Show headings, lists and tables, or just make links clickable.
• Download. Save any note as a .txt file.
• Light or dark. Follows your device, or pick a theme yourself.

A student project

JotLink was built as a school project, to learn how a real web application is made from start to finish: design, security, testing and running it on the internet. It's a real, working site, but it's not a company and there's no service guarantee. Please keep your own copy of anything important.

How it's built

JotLink runs on Cloudflare's network. The pages are plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and a small Cloudflare Worker (written in TypeScript) saves notes in a Cloudflare D1 database. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes, every input is checked on the server, and a strict content security policy protects the page from injected scripts. It all fits within Cloudflare's free plan.
