    Scratchpad

    The Scratchpad is a quick notebook for frictionless note-taking: ideas, to-dos, a piece of text you're going to paste into Basecamp. It supports Markdown formatting and can float on top of your other windows.


    Open it and write

    Find it in the Launcher as Scratchpad. Write with Markdown and it displays formatted: bold, italic, strikethrough, lists, and headings. The toolbar has buttons to apply formatting to your selection.


    Copy for Basecamp

    Use Copy for Basecamp to copy your note as Markdown ready to paste into a Basecamp message, comment, or document, with formatting intact.

    Keep on top

    Enable Keep window on top (in Settings → Scratchpad) to have your note float above other windows while you work.


    Note: your note saves automatically; it will be there the next time you open Scratchpad.
