notepad

Bound scribbling sheets

A notepad is a small pad of paper, usually bound at one edge, for jotting quick notes.

The pages often tear off cleanly.

In computing, a notepad is a basic text-editing application: I opened Notepad to write a quick memo.

The word also applies to digital note-taking apps generally.
