Simple notepad to edit text files from your file manager easily

Features & Capabilities

Just Notepad is a free, simple text editor designed for effortless editing of text files directly from your file manager. It supports popular text formats such as .txt, .log, .md, and .xml, allowing you to create new files or edit existing ones with ease. The extension features a built-in file browser showing supported files and folders, recent file history, the ability to find text within files, and convenient options to rename or delete files and folders. Just Notepad also remembers your last editing position when reopening files.

While it offers all essential notepad functionalities, note that editing on removable storage like SD cards is currently not supported for writing, though you may view files in read-only mode. The extension is ad-supported with a non-intrusive banner and optional reward videos to unlock extended features. It respects user privacy by not collecting personal data. Ideal for users needing a straightforward way to edit text files within their browser environment.

User Reviews

Users largely praise Just Notepad for its simplicity and reliability as a plain-text editor, with many noting it stays true to a lightweight notepad experience and has been used for years. However, recurring concerns focus on privacy and permissions: some reviews accuse the app of data collection and request broad device access, including photos, media, and external storage. There are also feature requests and design drawbacks: lack of dark mode; issues with external storage recognition; and occasional performance problems when editing larger files.

Pros

Simple, minimalistic design with no feature bloat.
Reliable and straightforward editing of plain text; works as described.
Creates and saves plain text files without proprietary formats.
Long-term user satisfaction; many users report using it for years.

Cons

Privacy concerns: reviews claim the app collects data and may engage in data selling.
Excessive permissions: requests access to photos, media, files, and other data on the device.
Lack of dark mode; users want a night mode option.
External storage issues: does not recognise external SD cards.
Performance/UX issues with larger files: editing in the middle can cause the view to scroll to the bottom (about 250 KB limit mentioned).

Recent reviews

Excellent for reading and editing .txt files. I save all my passwords with this and stash them away in a secure folder. No internet or cloud required..

Great for what I need. Just an app that let's me create notes in .txt format. and it works in every orientation of both my phone and tablet

No longer "just notepad". Also sells your data, like most apps. Dev doesn't even realize it. Just look in the "Data Safety" section on this page. I don't like what's collected or how. VERY disenginuous.
