Why Scraps Exists
Scraps is built for moments when you don’t want a full notes app — you just want to write something down right now.
It’s perfect for:
- jotting ideas
- drafting text
- storing code snippets
- temporary notes
- scratch calculations
- capturing thoughts mid‑flow
Scraps is the smallest tool in the iJustFocus suite — and that’s the point.
Philosophy
- Local‑first
- Privacy‑first
- Minimal by design
- No accounts
- No cloud
- No telemetry
Scraps is designed to be calm, predictable, and fast.
