Google Keep earned its place on millions of phones with one simple habit: open it, type, and the note is already saved. No folders to pick, no sync spinner to wait for. We built Notewall to capture that exact feeling in a page that runs right here, in your browser. Type a note below and it is already on the board. No install, no account, no signup.

How to use it
Two sample notes load automatically so the board is never empty on first visit. Type your own note in the box at the top and press Enter, or tap the Add button. Click any note’s text to edit it inline, and click the title field to name it. Each note has four controls along its bottom edge: a checklist toggle that turns the note into checkable to-do lines, a color dot you tap to cycle through six accents, an archive icon, and a trash icon. Tap the pin icon in a note’s corner to keep it at the top of the board. Use the filter bar above the board to jump to a single color, checklists only, or your archived notes.
Every keystroke saves the instant you make it, so there is no save button anywhere. Come back on a new day and interact with a note, and your streak counter in the header climbs by one. Everything, including your notes, colors, and streak, is stored only in this browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
How it compares to Google Keep
Notewall keeps the part of Google Keep people actually rely on every day: type a note and it is already saved, tap a note to turn it into a checklist, and pick a color to spot it at a glance later. The pin and archive controls mirror Keep’s own board organization in a simplified form.
What it drops is everything that makes Keep useful past a quick capture. There is no sync across devices, no reminders tied to a time or place, no image or drawing notes, no labels, and no sharing a note with anyone else. There is no search bar, since a masonry board of notes only works up to a certain count before you need real search to find anything. Most importantly, everything you type into Notewall saves only to this browser. Open it on your phone and then your laptop, and you will find two different, unrelated boards. Nothing syncs between them.
So when should you get the real app? The moment you want a note to remind you at 6pm, or you need it to follow you from your phone to your desktop, or you want to drop in a photo or a voice memo. Notewall is a fast way to feel out the quick-capture and checklist loop. Google Keep is the app built to actually hold your notes long-term, everywhere you go.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Google Keep in a browser without an account?
Google Keep itself needs a Google account to save and sync notes, even on its web app at keep.google.com. Notewall, the tool on this page, needs no account at all. It is our own original note board inspired by Keep’s quick-capture loop, and it runs entirely in your browser.
Is this the real Google Keep?
No. Notewall is an original tool we built, inspired by the type-and-it-saves loop that makes Keep useful for millions of people every day. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Google in any way. The download links above go to the official app.
Does my board save if I close the tab?
Yes, on your device only. Every note, its color, and your streak are stored in your browser’s local storage and reload exactly as you left them. Nothing is sent to a server, and nothing syncs to another device or browser.
Does it work offline?
Once the page loads, Notewall makes no further network requests, so a dropped connection will not interrupt it. For a note app that actually syncs across your phone and computer and backs your notes up off-device, you need the real Google Keep app.
Is it free?
Yes. Notewall has no ads, no purchases, and no account requirement. Google Keep itself is free to use, with no separate paid tier of its own.
