What you get

Nothing to configure. It all works from the first page.

As many pages as you need

A notebook is not one note. Add pages, name them, reorder them — they all live behind the same link.

Pick your own link

Claim sharepad.in/n/kitchen-reno while you type. Taken names tell you right away.

Notes that clean up after themselves

Everything expires in 10 days unless you say otherwise. Stretch it to a year, or keep it forever.

Two links, two levels of trust

Hand out the view link freely. The edit link stays with you and is the only way back in.

Lock it if it's private

Add a password, flip it read-only, or let it burn after a single read.

Undo yesterday

Every page keeps its last ten drafts. Open the history and put any of them back.

Hand it over

Flip one switch and anyone with the link can write in it too. Handy for a shared list nobody wants to sign up for.

Prints like a document

Save the whole notebook as a PDF and the handwriting disappears — clean serif, contents page, one page per sheet.

Three steps, start to shared

  1. 1

    Paste or name it

    Drop text straight in and take the link, or set the address, paper and typeface yourself.

  2. 2

    Fill it with pages

    Write markdown on the left, watch it render on the right. Add pages whenever you need one.

  3. 3

    Pass the view link on

    Readers get the whole notebook, can leave comments, and can save it as a PDF.

Questions people ask

The ones that come up before anyone writes anything.

Do I need an account?
No, and there isn't one to make. No email, no password, no sign-in. Creating a notebook gives you a secret edit link, and holding that link is what makes it yours.
Is it really free?
Yes, with no paid tier holding anything back. Passwords, expiry dates, PDF export, comments and unlimited pages are all included. It is open source, and donations cover the hosting.
How long do my notes stay up?
Ten days by default. You can set anything from one day to a year, or turn expiry off so a notebook stays until you delete it. Expired notebooks are removed from the database rather than just hidden.
Who can see what I write?
Only people you give the link to. Notebooks are unlisted and are not indexed by search engines unless you deliberately mark one public. You can also add a password, or set a notebook to delete itself after a single read.
What happens if I lose my edit link?
Your browser remembers notebooks you have made, so check the home page on the same device first. If the link is gone entirely there is no way to recover it — that is the trade for never asking who you are.
Can other people edit my notebook?
Only if you let them. By default the link you share is read-only. One switch in settings opens the notebook so anyone with the link can write in it, which is useful for a shared list. Settings and deletion always stay with you.
Can I get my writing back out?
Any time. Download the whole notebook as a single Markdown file, or as a PDF laid out as a proper document in a serif typeface with a contents page.
How many pages can one notebook hold?
Up to two hundred, all behind the same link, with an index down the side for readers. This is the main thing that separates SharePad from a one-page paste tool.
