Scrap Paper

Scrap Paper is GREAT. Minimal, simple, one click to access, one click to go away, and — the kicker — flawless, instantaneous MacOS/iOS sync. And the one and only time I've had to contact the dev, the reply was immediate. This is one of those indy apps I've come to rely on for absolutely basic routines. [EDIT several, maybe many months later: this app remains one of my most-used and most-loved. 🎩 off to the dev!]

Great app. It works extremly well.

I keep scrap paper avalble with a hot key and it's the instant synced location for the quick notes and thoughts I need to get written down.

I think this app is perfectly executed by the developer. It’s extremely useful, has the ideal set of features, and is super easy to use because it’s totally obvious how to use it no matter how forgetful you are. If you’re like me you find that the increasing complexity of being online requires filling out text messages, emails, social media, physicians wellness sites, drop down boxes, educational sites, comments sections, etc. etc. with information that you want to be effectively written so that it’s understood correctly by the recipient. It’s easy make costly, harmful or hurtful mistakes when trying to get your written point across in so many different situations. This app is your sloppy copy to work out the bugs and thoughtfully read what you’re going to say before rushing to hit the submit button on the target app. 1) Type it on the Scrap Paper first. (Set it side by side with the target app if you want to go back and forth). 2) Fix your mistakes on the Scrap Paper 3) Share it directly into text messages, emails, other apps, etc Or: Cut it and paste it where you need it In settings you can change font, font size, font color, background color, sync to your devices I’m really happy with it. It does relieve the stress of trying to create effective communication online.

The ultimate scratch pad for macOS and iOS. On the Mac it lives in the menu bar and can be brought to the front with a hotkey, giving you the same functionality as Raycast's floating note. You can choose the text and background colors , as well as the font. You have the discretion to keep the open window on top of all other apps (recommended). When not in use, you just close the window and it keeps the content safe. You can export the text via the share sheet and because it's text, you have access to tools like spelling and grammar, search and replace and even text to speech. You can even keep Scrap Paper synced between Macs and iOS with iCloud. I use the app a dozen or more times a day.

Worked great till recent MacOS update. Icon has disappeared from Menu Bar and synching to iOS iPhone no longer occurs. Otherwise seems ok. Help please.

It works perfectly between all devices.

I think this is such a great app. Would be even better to have multiple notes at a time for each different topic.

Find the blinking cursor a little distracting when doing other things with it pinned above all apps. Is there an option to have the cursor stay solid?If not, that would be a very welcom options. Thanks

Yes. YES. YES!!!! Flawless. I had been using the Evernote app that did something similar but it was so obnoxious with the constant "We updated your software" and "buy now" popups. This is so simple. So clean. 6/5
