How it works

One note. Wherever you are.

Five steps, and most of them are optional after the first note.

  1. 01

    Open Samepad

    Create an account. No card. You can write the first note in the same sitting.

  2. 02

    Write one specific thing

    Not a polished essay. The idea that just hit. Name the moment so future you can find it.

  3. 03

    Save it

    Private by default. Add a photo if you have one. That is the whole loop.

  4. 04

    Capture from anywhere

    Same pad from Chrome, the terminal, or your AI. One key. Capture anywhere.

  5. 05

    Share only if you want to

    Make a note public, or leave it for you. Community is optional. Capture is not.

Tips that keep it light

Leave it where ideas happen

Install the extension. Keep the CLI handy. Tie capture to tools you already open.

Get more specific, not more things

If you keep writing the same three items, add a detail. Not friends. The conversation with Jane about her holiday.

A blank day is fine

Missed days do not erase what you already wrote. Write the next note when you can.

Photos are optional

A picture helps when the moment is visual. A sentence is enough when it is not.

Start writing

Free to start. No card. Write the first note in under a minute.
