Cloud Notes

A short link IS a note: open /n/<code>, type, it auto-saves — share the link to share the note. Optional password; idle notes self-destruct.

A short link IS a note: hit “New note” to get /n/<code>, open it and type — it auto-saves as you go, and anyone you send the link to sees the same text. No account, no app: it is the quick way to move a paragraph, a share code or a shell command between your phone and your computer. Add an access password if you want; anonymous notes self-destruct after 24h idle, and signing in keeps them for 30 days.

How to use

  1. Hit “New note” — the URL becomes /n/<code>, and that link IS the note.
  2. Just type. The corner shows “Saving… / Up to date” — there is no save button.
  3. Click the code to copy the link and send it to someone (or to your other device) — they open it and see the same text.
  4. Open “Settings” to add an access password or change the expiry (30 days when signed in; admins can keep it forever).

FAQ

Is the note encrypted? Can I put secrets in it?
Not long-term secrets. A cloud note is a shared scratchpad stored server-side in plaintext — the access password is a gate (only its hash is stored), not encryption of the content, and anyone with the link plus the password can read it. For real passwords or keys use the Zapbox password vault or the 2FA tool, which are zero-knowledge (the server never sees the plaintext).
How long does a note live?
It depends on the expiry: the default destroys it after 24h idle — note that “idle” counts from the last edit, so a note that is only read still expires. Signing in unlocks “keep 30 days” (also idle-based), and admins can choose “keep forever”. Once destroyed the link is gone, so back up anything important.
Can anyone with the link edit my note?
Yes. The link is the permission: anyone with it (plus the password, if set) can read, edit and change the settings. That is what makes “just send a link” work, so do not post the link publicly — add an access password if you want to keep strangers out.
Does it support simultaneous editing?
No real-time collaboration. Saving overwrites the whole note, so if two people edit at once, whoever saves last wins. It is meant for one person across devices, or one writer and one reader.
Is there a “my notes” list?
There is no server-side list. The “recently opened” codes on the tool page live only in this browser’s localStorage and disappear if you switch devices or clear it — the link is the real handle, so keep it.
