A living page you can share.
LiveNote is a free online notepad. Start typing in one click, share the link, and edit together in real time — everyone sees the page change as it happens. No signup required.
Free · No signup needed · Works on phone and desktop
From blank page to shared page in three steps
Start typing
One click opens a fresh page with its own link. No signup, no setup — the cursor is already where you need it.
Share the link
Send the URL to anyone. They open it in a browser and see your page — read-only, or with edit rights, your call.
Watch it come alive
Everyone on the page sees edits appear as they happen, with live cursors showing who is writing where.
Real-time, not eventually
LiveNote keeps everyone on the same page while the page is still moving. Edits save as you type and appear for every reader the moment they land — no refresh ritual, no “wait, which version do you have?”
- Live cursors show exactly who is writing where
- Presence dots and a viewer count for the room
- Autosave with a clear Saving… / Saved status
- Autosave also flushes the moment you leave the page, so a quick exit never loses text

Small tool, serious toolkit
Everything below ships today — no “coming soon” placeholders.
Real-time sync
Autosave as you type, presence dots, live cursors, and a viewer count — everyone stays on the same page, literally.
Share on your terms
Read-only or editable links, one-time links, burn-after-reading, passwords, and QR codes for the room.
End-to-end encryption
Lock a note with end-to-end encryption: it is sealed in your browser with AES-256-GCM and the server only ever stores ciphertext.
Four editor modes
Rich text, Markdown, plain text, and code with syntax highlighting — plus tables, checklists, and a live word count.
Share it your way
Read-only or editable links, one-time burn links, QR codes, and passwords — you decide who can see and change what.
Organized by default
Tags, folders, favorites, archive, and trash — plus full-text search across everything you have written.
Private and secure
Passwords hashed with argon2id, CSRF protection, rate limiting, and sanitized content. Sign in — or don't; anonymous notes work.
Everywhere you are
An installable PWA with an offline shell, six themes, and an editor that feels at home on a phone or a 32-inch monitor.
Made for pages that move fast
Meeting notes
Type minutes while the meeting runs; latecomers open the link and are current in one refresh.
Pair debugging
Paste a stack trace or a snippet into a code block and let a teammate highlight the bug from their machine.
Shared checklists
Task lists that everyone can tick off at the same time — trip packing, release steps, grocery runs.
Drafts and writing
Draft on your phone on the bus, polish at your desk. Autosave keeps every pass.
Study groups
One page per topic; the whole group annotates together before the exam.
Quick paste-and-share
A link is kinder than a screenshot. Paste anything, share the URL, delete it when you're done.
Questions people actually ask
- Is LiveNote free?
- Yes. Creating notes, sharing them, and editing together in real time are free, and you can use LiveNote without an account.
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. Notes work anonymously from the first click. Creating a free account is optional — it keeps your notes in a dashboard, syncs them across devices, and lets you use two-factor authentication.
- Who can read my notes?
- Anyone with the link can open a note unless you protect it. Password protection gates the page, and end-to-end encryption goes further: the note is encrypted in your browser, and the server stores only ciphertext it cannot read.
- Can other people edit my note?
- Only if you give them an editable link or share the note with edit rights. Plain links are read-only by default when shared through the share dialog, and you can hand out one-time or burn-after-reading links for anything sensitive.
- What happens when I stop typing?
- Your note is saved automatically — a status indicator in the header shows Saving… / Saved. Snapshots land in version history, so nothing you wrote is ever lost to a bad edit.
