Synced

Write on one. It’s already on the other.

Pick Google Drive or OneDrive, then sign in with the same account on each computer. From then on, every tab you open is open everywhere.

When you type

Changes upload 2.5 seconds after you pause, or every 15 seconds while you keep going.

On your other computers

They check every 15 seconds, and straight away when you switch to them.

A file from another computer

Shows its name, like notes.txt · Office-PC. Your edits reach that computer, ready to save there.

Closing a tab

Closes it everywhere. The Drive copy goes to the bin for 30 days.

Two edits at once

Nothing is overwritten. The other version opens as its own conflict copy.

No connection

Keep working. TypersPad catches up when you’re back online.

A proper editor, not a notes app.

Colour for 18 languages

PHP, Python, JavaScript, JSON, Markdown, YAML and more. Picked from the file, or from the Language menu.

<?php
// send the monthly invoice
function invoice($client, $amount) {
    $due = date('d/m/Y', strtotime('+30 days'));
    return sprintf("%s owes £%.2f by %s",
        $client, $amount, $due);
}

Dictionaries download once, then work offline. Right-click a word for suggestions.

Close it. Crash it. It’s still there.

Unsaved tabs are kept every 3 seconds and come back exactly as you left them.

Find and replace with regular expressions

Find(\w+)@ Replace\1 at

Groups with \1, match case, whole word. Replace All undoes in one step.

Files come back as they went in

UTF-8, UTF-16 and ANSI, Windows or Unix line endings. Detected on open, kept on save.

Your words go to your Drive. Never to us.

No account with us. The app has no tracking, analytics or ads. It can only open files it created in your Drive, and your sign-in stays in Windows’ encrypted store or the macOS Keychain.

Questions

Do I need a Google or Microsoft account?

Only for sync. TypersPad works fully on its own. Connect Google Drive or OneDrive when you want your tabs on more than one computer.

Where are my notes stored?

On your computer, and, if you turn on sync, in a TypersPad folder in your own Google Drive or OneDrive. Nowhere else.

What happens without internet?

Nothing changes while you work. TypersPad keeps everything locally and syncs as soon as you're back online.

What if I edit the same note on two computers?

Nothing is lost. If both versions changed before they could sync, the other version opens as a separate "conflict copy" tab.

Can Williation read my notes?

No. Your text never passes through our servers; it travels only between your computers and your Google Drive or OneDrive.
