Looking for a Reliable Online WordPad Alternative

[turnpaper]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find an online version of WordPad that’s simple, lightweight, and doesn’t require downloads or complicated setups.

My main needs are basic text editing, formatting options like bold, italics, and bullet points, and the ability to save documents locally or to the cloud.

I don’t need advanced features like those in Word or Google Docs, just something straightforward for quick writing tasks.

Does anyone know a trustworthy online WordPad-style tool, preferably free or low-cost?

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really helpful.

?? What is it about Wordpad that you don't like?
I'm unsure of your requirements. Online? You mean with remote software?
Lightweight? You mean with local software that requires few resources?
For what application?

Online rich text editor
Headless rich field text editor
Open source rich field editor

Is the problem that WordPad has been removed from W11? Here is how to get it back.

Oh, so it is. I had no idea. You can tell how much I've missed it. But Google is your friend (except when they're hassling you about passwords). I just posted three search links, and then there's this: How to get Wordpad back.

Personally, I use LibreOffice in Linux, which also replaces Word, but it's not really lightweight.

Any reason you need it to be online? There are quite a few basic programs that you can download and use as alternatives to Wordpad.

I have Microsoft 365 and Word pad 2010 loaded on my machine but I can’t stand using the 365 version, so always use 2010, even then there’s a lot of shite in 2010 that I have to put up with..
