About the Code Scratchpad
This browser-based scratchpad is designed for opening, drafting, and revising local code files with Monaco. Your current draft and settings stay in this browser.
Open a text file, edit with syntax highlighting, format supported web languages, and save it locally. Supported browsers can write back to a chosen file; others download a copy. It is a focused scratchpad, not a code runner or cloud IDE.
FAQ
Q Is my code saved to the cloud?
No. Drafts are automatically stored in this browser's local storage, not in the cloud. Download important files for a separate backup.
Q Is code formatting supported?
Yes for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, HTML, and CSS through an on-demand Prettier formatter. Other languages retain Monaco's indentation and editing features.
Q Can I use this on mobile?
Yes. The interface is responsive, although a desktop keyboard provides the best code-editing experience.
