Built for the way you actually work

No formatting toolbars, no rich text, no bloat. Just fast, reliable plain text.

📄

Multiple Pages

Keep as many separate pages as you need. Switch between them instantly from the sidebar. Add or delete pages in one click.

☁️

iCloud Sync

Your pages sync automatically across all your Macs via iCloud. Everything is always right where you left it, no setup required.

⚙️

Per Page Settings

Each page has its own settings for word wrap, delete protection, and invisible character detection. Customize one page without touching any other.

🔤

Font and Color Control

Choose your font, size, text color, and background color. Global preferences apply everywhere so the look stays consistent across all pages.

🔍

Invisible Character Detection

Reveal hidden Unicode characters with a visible marker. Find and remove zero width spaces, non breaking spaces, and other invisible characters before they cause problems.

↕️

Sort and Search

Sort your pages by newest, oldest, alphabetically, or last modified. Search by title to find any page instantly.

Every page on its own terms

Different pages serve different purposes. A deployment checklist needs word wrap off. A draft email needs it on. A private page needs delete protection so nothing gets wiped by accident.

ScratchPadIt gives each page its own configuration so you never have to undo a global setting just because one page needs something different.
