Take notes, keep them organized. ScratchBook is a free, simple, easy-to-use, multi-page scratchpad application for macOS. ScratchBook is version 2.0 of a small application that used to be called ScratchPad. This version is a complete rewrite from the ground up using modern macOS technologies such as SwiftUI. It runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs and supports modern macOS features such as Dark Mode. Features: - Jot things down quickly and simply: no choosing folders, adding tags or any other distractions. - Multiple pages allow you to just add a new one when you need a new note. Your existing notes stay safe. - ScratchBook takes advantage of macOS's built-in rich text capabilities. You can change fonts, colors, add images, make lists, and so much more. - Automatic saving. - Notes are saved in TextEdit-compatible .rtfd files which can be stored anywhere on your Mac or iCloud. - You can keep ScratchBook above all other windows for easier note-taking. - You can make ScratchBook as transparent as you'd like to see what's behind it while taking notes. - Export individual notes as TextEdit-compatible .rtfd files. - Import all your notes from ScratchPad 1.0. - Full support for Liquid Glass, including both dark and light modes. - Free and open source.
