EDTR - Free Notepad++ Alternative in Your Browser | Online Code Editor

Do you love Notepad++? Many developers and writers do. It is fast, simple, and powerful. But there is one problem: you need to install it. And it only works on Windows.

What if you could use something like Notepad++ in your browser? On any computer? Without installing anything?

Meet EDTR - a free, open-source text editor that brings the best parts of Notepad++ to your web browser.

What Makes EDTR Like Notepad++?

If you use Notepad++, you will feel at home with EDTR. Here is what they share:

Multiple Tabs

Just like Notepad++, EDTR lets you open many files at once. Each file gets its own tab. You can switch between tabs quickly. Press Cmd+T to open a new tab and Cmd+W to close one.

Syntax Highlighting

EDTR supports syntax highlighting for more than 20 programming languages. JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, TypeScript, Go, Rust, and many more. Your code looks clean and easy to read, just like in Notepad++.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Power users love keyboard shortcuts. EDTR has them:

Cmd+S to save
Cmd+T to open a new tab
Cmd+/ to toggle comments
Shift+Alt+F to format code

No mouse needed. Just type and work.

Light and Dark Themes

Work late at night? Use dark mode. Prefer a bright screen? Use light mode. EDTR detects your system settings and matches them. You can also change it manually.

What Makes EDTR Different?

EDTR is not just a copy of Notepad++. It has some features that make it special.

It Works Everywhere

EDTR runs in any modern browser. Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook - it does not matter. If you have a browser, you have EDTR.

No Account Needed

Many online editors ask you to create an account. EDTR does not. Open the website and start writing. No sign-up. No email. No password.

Your Data Stays Private

EDTR saves everything in your browser's local storage. Your notes never go to a server. Nobody can read your files. Your data is yours.

It Works Offline

Once you open EDTR, it works even without internet. You can install it as a desktop app from your browser. It becomes a Progressive Web App (PWA) that lives on your computer.

Folder Organization

Unlike basic online editors, EDTR lets you create folders. You can drag and drop tabs into folders. This keeps your work organized, even when you have many files.
