I use Apple Notes as my main note-taking app. While Apple Notes has Quick Note, every word I jot down there is automatically saved into Apple Notes. This ends up piling a lot of junk notes that I have to manually clean up at the end of the day. I often find myself jotting down quick, temporary things - like a phone number, a serial number, or a quick calculation. These are scrap notes that I don’t really care to keep permanently inside Apple Notes. That’s the purpose of this app. It’s plain text only - no frills. It launches quickly (I suggest setting a global hotkey to ⌃ Space). You can also perform quick calculations by typing an equation followed by ==. (This is powered by SoulverCore, so you can do things like unit conversions, currency conversions, and even time zone calculations. See the screenshots for examples.) Features: • Quickly show and hide the Scrap Note window using a global shortcut • Plain text only. Paste from Word/Excel and it will be converted to plain text • Perform calculations and conversions • URL scheme support, so Popclip users can send text to Scrap Note • Unlimited pages; navigate between pages using keyboard shortcuts • Four background color options • Save into Apple Notes • Save into Apple Reminders; each line becomes a separate reminder • For Power Users, there are additional 5 slots to save notes into other apps like CotEditor, Things, Files (as long as they support Shortcuts) • Keyboard shortcuts support and customizable toolbar • One button press to insert the current date and time - for the diary junkies out there :) • One button press to copy all text into clipboard Oh, and it’s free to use. Enjoy!

[New] Nicer Settings dialog box [New] The 5 custom shortcuts slots have their own toolbar buttons, so you don't have to remember the shortcut keys which you recorded [New] new icon - let's free it from that grey, squircle jail! This is supposed to be a scrap note, not a editor but I really, really want to be able to differentiate a header and I often quotes certain paragraphs. So I present to you: [New] Typing >> to quote a text. It will indent, italic and gray the text [New] Typing ## to create header. It will bold and colored it brown
