PaperPad Notes & Clipboard
Simple Notepad & Memo
Only for Mac
$2.99
Mac
PaperPad is a simple Mac notepad and clipboard companion for the bits of text you need right now.
Open it from the menu bar, type a quick note, keep it pinned on screen, and save copied text into a recent clip shelf so useful snippets do not disappear the moment you copy something else.
Use PaperPad for:
- Quick notes and temporary memos
- Drafting text before you paste it elsewhere
- Holding recipe ideas, commands, links, messages, and reminders
- Keeping copied text close while you work
- Turning clipboard clips into plain text notes
A scratchpad that stays out of the way
PaperPad lives in your Mac menu bar. Open it when you need a clean writing space, then tuck it away when you are done. Pin it as a floating note when you want it visible beside another app.
Clipboard notes without the clutter
Copied text is saved into a lightweight clip shelf while PaperPad is open. Paste a clip into your note, copy it again, send it back to another app, or clear it when it is no longer useful.
Plain text, local-first, simple
PaperPad is built for temporary notes, not a complicated notes database. Your scratchpad and recent clips are stored locally on your Mac. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, no folders, and no AI features.
Make it feel like your paper
Use the subtle paper finish for a calm writing surface, or choose your own note background for a more personal scratchpad.
PaperPad is for the small scraps of text that do not need a whole system. Keep them close, use them quickly, and move on.
