🪦 Microsoft is discontinuing WordPad after almost 30 years. They recommend using Microsoft Word for rich text and Windows Notepad for plain text, but you can also explore our complete list of alternatives: https://alternativeto.net/news/2023/9/microsoft-has-finally-announced-the-end-of-the-road-for-wordpad-a-windows-staple-since-1995/

@TurnrDev @alternativeto no, it's neither free nor runs on everything...

@TurnrDev @alternativeto LibreOffice is free (both in cost and in being able to access/contribute/share), runs on every OS, and can work offline with local files.

And other options are available that also share those advantages that GDocs doesn't.

@tobleh @alternativeto sure! That's true! Depends how frequently you need it and how much you care about the privacy of what you're writing. I, myself, rarely use any office products so I just use GDocs.

@TurnrDev @alternativeto If "every OS" is chrome, chrome, chrome and chrome.

Please don't spread misinformation.

@ellenor2000 @alternativeto Google Docs can run inside the browser. It runs on Firefox, Chrome and Safari. It has native apps on Android and iOS. Every modern OS that can access the internet can access it. If you can provide an OS that can't, I'll eat my hat.
