A notepad that respects your text

Plain-text files are simple until encodings ruin them — open an old file in the wrong mode and you get mojibake garbage. TocTok Notepad fixes this permanently: it detects the encoding on open (UTF-8, BOM, legacy regional) and always saves standard UTF-8, so files stay readable everywhere, forever.

How to use it

Type immediately or open a file with Ctrl+O — the detected encoding shows in the status bar. Find & replace with Ctrl+F, zoom text with Ctrl+wheel, and toggle word wrap, dark mode or always-on-top in the View menu. Recent files live in the File menu.

Good to know

It's a plain-text editor — for bold/colors use a word processor. Back up important documents to cloud or external storage as with any local file.

Pro tips

Dark mode + larger font is wonderful for long nighttime writing. Always-on-top turns it into a transcription pad beside any window. For screen-side quick notes, pair with TocTok Memo sticky notes.
