About

MangoWriter is a secure text editor for Windows designed to run completely offline with no cloud, AI, network connections, or telemetry, offering a familiar, simple editing experience while keeping content private by default. It uses state-of-the-art AES-256-GCM encryption with strong key derivation (Argon2id) and optional keyfile two-factor support, ensuring no plaintext is ever written to disk and eliminating caches or temp files. MangoWriter protects your work with a secure clipboard that binds copied content to the current session, an instant lock screen to mask content when stepping away, and one-click bulk redaction tools to permanently black out selected text across documents. Sensitive buffers are zeroed after use and your password never gets stored on disk, with key material kept only in secure memory while a document is unlocked. It is delivered as clean, code-signed builds available as an MSI installer or portable ZIP and includes secure export options.

About

WordPad is a basic text-editing app you can use to create and edit files, include text with different fonts and colors, insert pictures, and add links to other files. You can use WordPad to open and save text files (.txt), rich text files (.rtf), Word documents (.docx), and OpenDocument text files (.odt). Files in other formats will open as plain text files and might not appear as expected. Some features, like headers, footers, and annotations, aren’t supported in WordPad. If you open a file with these features and then save the file in WordPad, you’ll lose the content in these features. If you want to change such a file, but don’t want to lose the original content, tap or click Save as and save the file with a different name. That way you can make changes to a copy of the file while keeping the content in the original file intact. For more info about what each button does, press and hold the button for a description (or if you’re using a mouse, point to the button).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It comes free with windows and is perfect for just writing something down or taking notes. It also seems to really be meant for writing (without printing) since it doesn't format into A4 papers.
  • Nothing. There are no pros.
  • Came with my new computer, so I didn't have to pay for it. I only needed to occasionally type a letter or a document, and it serves my purpose for that.

Cons

  • It doesn't have all the features of word and most annoying it doesn't show the shortcuts for the features. Still don't know how to increase/decrease the indent without needing to stop typing and click the button.
  • There isn't anything to like about WordPad. Nothing is good so everything is bad. I cannot figure out how to use it so isn't that a con enough. We were conned into getting this feature when there was an updated to Windows 11. Thank you very little!
  • I have been unable to find out how to type an address on an envelope! Doesn't do me a lot of good to type a business letter when I can't type an official looking envelope for it! Needs a source to search for information with "How To" instructions!
