## *scratch* Description
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.

## *scratch* Reviews in United States

### ***** "Simple, Perfect"
This app is a life saver for me. I used org-mode on my workstation all the time. I’ve used various forms of a “scratch” pad on iOS for years, but this is what I really needed. I added an iOS shortcut to export the “buffer” to Dropbox, which I use as an inbox. Works perfect. Thank you!
-- jaaronfarr, 2025-12-22

### ****- "As described. Very cool."
A bare bones quick scratch pad. It does exactly as described. Absolutely worth the low low price. I wish I could drop the keyboard down, but what the hey. Very cool + useful.
-- Graphite Tiger, 2025-02-13

### ***** "Simple and does what I want"
I love that this app exists. Emacs forever!
-- theshanemcd, 2024-12-22

### ***** "Love the font"
Great app. Simple and does all I needed for a quick note.
-- aishu_zzz, 2024-09-29

### ***** "Perfect for that itch!"
Need a quick note, but may also want to flush it out aka ORG/markup. Love it.
-- EarlCecil, 2024-08-25

### ***** "Simple, low friction notes and boilerplate"
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.
-- GregLloyd, 2024-08-23

### ***** "Frictionless note taking"
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.
-- umericandev, 2023-06-07

### ****- "Nice app, wish it can add folding feature"
It’s a nifty app, great for quick jotting of text.
I wish it can also add outliner features, especially text folding. That would make it fabulous!
-- TheGreenGoose, 2023-04-08

### ***** "Great start!"
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!
-- Uncle Jimmer, 2023-03-27
