A clean, no-login text editor for the classroom
RescuePad gives students and staff a fast, reliable place to write — no Google sign-in, no license, no extension to push. It runs great on Chromebooks and works completely offline.
No accounts · No data collection · Free for every student
Why school IT teams like it
Built to remove the usual headaches of deploying a writing tool to a fleet.
- No accounts, no logins, no data collection.Nothing leaves the device, so there's no student data to protect or audit.
- Nothing to deploy.Open a URL, or install it as a PWA. You can pin it via policy, but no admin console push is required.
- Fully offline.Great for testing lockdowns, spotty Wi-Fi, and take-home devices.
- Light on hardware.Loads instantly even on older, budget Chromebooks — no bloat.
A simple tool that does the job
Teachers and students don't need a heavyweight word processor for daily writing — drafting an essay, taking notes, jotting code in computer-science class, or formatting a handout in Markdown. RescuePad keeps it simple while still being genuinely capable.
- Multiple tabs for working on several assignments at once.
- Autosave and crash recovery so a closed lid or dead battery doesn't erase an essay.
- Markdown live preview for class handouts, READMEs, and formatted notes.
- Find & replace with regex for older students and CS classes.
- High-contrast theme and adjustable fonts for accessibility.
- Distraction-free mode to help students focus during writing time.
Because it's a web app, it works the same on every device in your fleet — and on staff Windows and Mac machines too. See the full feature list or read about offline editing.
Questions from school IT
Does RescuePad collect any student data?
No. There are no accounts and no analytics on what students write. Files save to the device only — there is no student data to manage or worry about.
Do we have to install or push anything?
No install is required. Students just open the URL in Chrome. If you prefer, you can pin the URL or install it as a PWA through your management console.
Will it work offline and on older Chromebooks?
Yes. After the first load it runs fully offline and stays fast even on budget hardware.
How much does it cost?
It's free for everyone — students, teachers, and staff. There are no per-seat licenses.
