Send text to your smart TV without an app
Typing a long password, link or search phrase with a TV remote takes ages. With Online Notepad you write the text on your phone or computer and open it on the TV with a short code.
How it works
- Write the text. Open online-notepad.xyz on your phone or computer and paste or type what you need on the TV.
- Create a link. You get a 6-character code such as k7q2m9.
- Open it on the TV. In the TV browser, type nopd.me/k7q2m9, or open nopd.me and enter the code in the box.
The note opens straight away. Read it, copy it where your TV allows it, or keep it on screen while you type it into an app.
Which TVs work?
Any TV or device with a web browser, for example Samsung (Internet browser), LG (Web Browser), Android TV and Google TV with a browser app, Amazon Fire TV (Silk) and Xbox (Microsoft Edge). Apple TV has no built-in browser, so use a phone or computer there instead.
Tips for typing on a TV
- You don’t need to type
https://orwww. nopd.me plus the code is enough. - Upper or lower case doesn’t matter, and the code avoids look-alike characters such as 0/O and 1/l.
- For a one-off password, choose a short expiry such as 1 hour or tick “Delete after first read”.
Sharing something sensitive, like a Wi-Fi password? Add a password to the note. It is then encrypted in your browser, and the TV asks for the password after the code.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app on the TV?
No. Online Notepad runs in the TV’s web browser. Nothing to install, no account.
Why nopd.me?
nopd.me is the short domain of Online Notepad. It is made for typing on remotes: 7 letters plus the code.
Can I send text from the TV to my phone?
Yes. Create the note on the TV and scan the QR code with your phone camera, or type nopd.me and the code on the phone.
