Productivity

You're on the go. Someone's giving you directions, or a phone number, name of a restaurant... you need to write it down now, quickly! No time to create new contact, or a note, a file, or waste time on additional taps, bring up keyboard... You just need to write it somewhere right now. *scratch* is a simple scratch pad. • No bells or whistles, just a simple area to quickly jot something down. • Launch *scratch* and write. • Quickly create lists or checkboxes. • All plain text. • Share to other apps or save to Files as an org file (plain text). • No cloud, account, sign-in, or social required. Bonus: Emacs org mode lovers, you can use lightweight org markup like headings, plain lists, numbered lists, and checkboxes.

Simple, low friction notes and boilerplate
08/23/2024

Does exactly what it says, with a clean and simple notes buffer interface. Eliminates the friction of a full notes app (choose a note name, decide where to put it, deal with unnecessary clutter, etc). I use it all the time to create, edit, paste, share alt text, signature blocks, and other boilerplate stuff on the fly while on my iPhone.

The app is designed so simply while still retaining absolutely necessary functions. It makes note taking enjoyable while preventing the overwhelming clutter that comes form notes piling up. Also love having a format that’s easily transferable across apps.

To minimize friction to capture a though, something like *scratch* is needed. The important part is that there’s no need to organize stray notes or no worries of having a backlog of garbage notes. And more apps should support org-mode syntax.

A KILLER feature would be an iOS widget for the Lock Screen that drops you right into a new *scratch* buffer. I would pay for it for sure!
