About txtnode
A workspace built for people who just want to get on with it.
No dashboards to learn. txtnode is notes, tasks, and a handful of developer tools, kept deliberately small.

How it came together
The problem
Too many tabs, too much friction
Every small utility lived on a different site, buried behind ads, just to convert a JSON blob or generate a password.
The first version
A single page that just worked
txtnode started as a plain text editor with nothing else on the page. No save button: open it, start typing, and it was still there later.
Where it is now
Notes, tasks, and tools, still one page at a time
Tasks and a set of developer tools were added the same way, one at a time, only when they earned their place. The bar for anything new is the same as it was on day one.
What guides the decisions
Focused
Every feature has to earn its place. If it does not make the core experience better, it does not ship.
Honest
No dark patterns, no fake urgency, no hidden costs. What you see is what you get.
Fast
Pages load instantly and tools respond the moment you use them. Speed is treated as a feature.
Not the product
What you write stays yours. Nothing is scraped for ads, sold, or used to train anything.
What you'll find here
Notes
A distraction-free editor for writing and organizing your thoughts, synced automatically.
Tasks
Straightforward lists for tracking what actually needs to get done, nothing fancier.
Developer tools
JSON formatting, password generation, markdown conversion, and more, all free.
Who it's built for
- Developers who want fast utilities without leaving the browser
- Writers who want a calm space that does not fight back
- Anyone who prefers a simple, honest tool over a bloated one
