With OpenNotepad, you can now create line-based reminders and timers directly inside your daily notes. Turn tasks and ideas into timely browser notifications — without leaving your writing flow.
How Line-based Reminders Work in OpenNotepad
- Write naturally in your notes. Each non-empty line shows a small icon on the right
- Tap the bell to schedule a timer or reminder for that line
- The current day’s date is auto-filled — you only set the time
- When it’s due, a browser notification alerts you instantly
Why Choose Per-Line Reminders?
Unlike traditional task managers, OpenNotepad keeps tasks and ideas side by side. Adding reminders per line keeps context intact, eliminates app-switching, and helps you stay productive in one place.
Private and Local-first Notes
Your notes and reminders are stored locally in your browser. There’s no account required, no syncing, and no external storage. You’re in complete control of your data.
Tips for Using Reminders and Timers
- Use
Shift+Enter
for multi-line notes on the same day - Allow browser notification permission for timely alerts
- Manage or remove reminders anytime from your daily notes
