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.
