Write Notes Right in Your Browser

Sometimes you just need somewhere to jot things down. Helperbird has a built-in notepad where you can write notes, draft text, or organize your thoughts without opening another app.

When you're done, export to Google Docs, Word, Markdown, or plain text.

Learn how to use the notepad

  • Voice Typing - Compose your thoughts faster by dictating instead of typing in the editor.
  • Word Prediction - Speed up your typing with smart word suggestions as you write.
  • Note Organizer - Keep all your notes and writing organized in one searchable dashboard.

Simple and Focused

This isn't trying to be Microsoft Word. It's a clean writing space where you can:

  • Write and format text
  • Organize your thoughts
  • Save your work
  • Export when you need it elsewhere

No distractions, no complicated menus. Just a place to write.


Export Options

When your notes are ready to go somewhere else:

  • Google Docs: Send directly to your Google account
  • Microsoft Word: Download as a .docx file
  • Markdown: For developers, bloggers, or note apps that use Markdown
  • Plain text: Just the words, no formatting

Who Uses This

More writing features

A truly great extension! We installed this on all of our 200 Chromebooks across the 3 special schools i work in and it has greatly helped our students use technology to learn. It not only helps our dyslexic learners, but also our autistic and ADHD students by helping remove distractions and making the web a more accessible place. Support is fast and efficient, and updates are very regular with new features constantly being added!
