Black NotePad

The first and most important thing that you need to know about Black NotePad is that it is a plain text editor, just like Microsoft’s Notepad. As a matter of fact, Black NotePad is marketed as a Notepad alternative that has more to offer: black and white theme for the interface; the option to change the font type and color; easily open a recently closed file via Open Latest; select some text and change it to upper or lowercase; select text and do a web search via DuckDuckGo; zoom in and out.

Black NotePad is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1, and Windows 10. To get it up and running, you won’t have to install it in your system. Black NotePad is portable software that does not need to be installed. Download the Black NotePad executable, run it, and you’re ready to start using this plain text editor.

The fact that Black NotePad has a simple interface goes without saying, this being a plain text editor and all. The cool thing about the interface is that you can easily switch between a black and a white theme, you can easily change the font type and color, and you can easily zoom in and out. On top of that, the interface prominently presents the Find feature, and personally I think that’s pretty cool as well.

Black NotePad offers the same kind of functionality you would expect to get from Microsoft’s Notepad (after all, they’re both plain text editors). But, as mentioned at the start, Black NotePad has a few extra features to offer. If you don’t like the white background, you can easily change it. If you typed something in lowercase and you need to change it to uppercase, you can easily do that too. And if you want to search for something online, Black NotePad does that by using DuckDuckGo, the search engine that doesn’t track you and doesn’t collect personal information

Black NotePad is freeware.

Do you rarely if ever use Notepad? That’s cool, then you probably don’t need Black NotePad in your life. But if you frequently use Notepad and you need a plain text editor that has bit of extra functionality to offer, then you’re very well advised to give Black NotePad a try!
