Floating Notes But Better
For years, I kept a text editor open on my computer at all times and when I needed a scratchpad, I would switch to it and type or paste whatever I needed. Then Raycast came along with it's floating notes feature, which is nice. It can be summoned with a hot key. Then I found Scrap Paper, which can also be called with a hotkey, syncs between computers and has an iOS version. You can hide the icon in the menu bar if you just want to use the hotkey. Furthermore, you can have the text window stay on top of all other windows, which is a feature I want. Finally, I saw Scratchpad on r/MacApps and I thought I'd give it a try. It has everything Scrap Paper has, but can also be launched from the dock. It adds Automatically creating clickable links from pasted URLS Control over font selection Text size adjustment Line spacing Smart quotes Smart Dashes Translucent background Because it's text, you get access to the writing tools, spelling and grammar, substitutions, speech and the Mac Services menu. One awesome feature is the ability to use Quicklook on a link, which opens a small window with a live view of the web page, similar to the Little Arc feature in the Arc browser. Scratchpad offers scripting and shortcuts support. You can enter text onto Scratchpad from any app that can open a URL. There is a fully functional free trial of the macOS app available here. The only limitation is a reminder to buy the app every 12 hours, and no automatic updates. All data and settings carry over if you buy it on the App Store.

Sync issues
A beautiful and thoughtful but simple tool. The only issue is the syncing. If you plan on using this on multiple devices (mac, ipad, iphone), plan on having sync issues that you have to manually resolve)

Elegant simplicity!
This is the app I never knew I needed. I really appreciate the subtle beauty of the font rendering. I forgot what my username was on here and seeing it now I am sad.

I love it!
Awesome lightweight app to quickly copy blobs of text temporarily. The companion Mac app is equally great! This is a must have app on any iPhone and Mac.
