Metapad

Metapad is a lightweight and portable word processor that looks a lot like Microsoft’s default Notepad. But here’s the cool part: it comes with extra features that really help with text editing, including for those who work with source code.

Easy to Use and Portable

You don't need to install anything! Just drop the executable file anywhere on your hard drive and double-click it to start using it. You can even save Metapad on a USB flash drive so you can run it on any PC without needing to install it first. Super convenient, right?

No Mess Left Behind

A big plus is that it doesn’t mess with your Windows registry or the Start menu. When you want to remove Metapad, there are no leftover files clogging up your system. Everything stays nice and clean!

User-Friendly Features

The interface of Metapad is pretty similar to Notepad, which makes it easy for anyone to jump in. You can undo and redo actions as many times as you want! Plus, you have options like indenting or unindenting text blocks, converting text case (like turning everything into lowercase), and inserting timestamps or external files like HTML or source code.

Search and Replace Made Easy

Metapad includes a search function that lets you find keywords throughout your entire document or just in the current selection. You can also create favorites and set up primary and secondary external viewers for added flexibility.
