Always at hand, cleaned up as you go. Nothing is lost.
Docked in a corner of your screen, or hidden until your own shortcut calls it.
Pasted formatting comes off, grammar is checked on your device, and dictation is repaired.
Whatever you clear or dictate is kept in History, for as long as you choose.
Press the microphone, or your dictation shortcut, and talk. It listens from its corner while you keep working, and the words land in the pad, ready to check and send on.
What leaves the pad goes to History. Pads and dictations are kept apart, each on its own terms, and pinning keeps anything that matters.
Spelling and grammar as you type, and repair for what you dictate. Use either, or both. The words stay yours.
Checked as you type by Harper, on your device. Take a suggestion, or every safe one at once.
It fixes what went wrong and never rephrases, adds or reorders.
Documents are made in editors. scratchcat holds your words on their way to wherever they go next.
Your pad is a plain file on your own machine, and grammar is checked offline. Dictation and repair reach out only to a provider you choose. Nothing to sign in to, nothing to sync.
Plain Markdown files in your app data folder, to open with anything you like.
Kept with their words. One cut short by a crash is kept too, for you to decide.
Transcribed on your device, or by a provider you pick. Off until you turn it on.
Spelling and grammar never leave your device. AI repair runs on it too, in English, or with a provider you choose.
Headings, lists, quotes, links and code.
Filter History, and what matched is marked.
Pick the footer's buttons and every shortcut.
A pill or the tray, any corner, always on top.
In the pad, from the header or a shortcut.
A pad's text or a dictation's audio.
And Enter carries a list on.
Urdu and Arabic, by paragraph.
And full keyboard and screen reader use.
So it is there before you need it.

Runs on any distribution and updates itself.
See download optionsNo. There are no folders, names or filing. It holds text on its way somewhere else, and your notes app keeps what you want to keep.
No. Put away, it is a small pill in whichever corner is free, or only an icon in the tray. One shortcut opens it over the app you are in, and Esc puts you straight back.
Yes, because it sits beside them rather than inside them. Anything you paste arrives as plain text, from Word, Google Docs or a web page.
Your pad is a plain file on your own device, and grammar is checked offline. Dictation runs on your device unless you choose a provider, and so does repair, in English.
No. It fixes what went wrong: punctuation, capitals, paragraphs, stutters, false starts and misheard words. It adds no words of its own and never rephrases, so the text still sounds like you.
It goes to History. Copy and clear, replace or clear with its undo: whatever leaves the pad is kept, for as long as you say.
Windows, macOS and Linux. One shortcut opens it from any app: Ctrl Shift Space, or Cmd on a Mac.
Not to use it. There is nothing to sign in to in scratchcat and nothing to sync: it runs on your machine and keeps your words there. Buying from a store uses your account with that store.
The recording survives. It is listed the next time you open the app, and you decide what happens to it: nothing is transcribed, deleted or resumed on your behalf.
Yes. Everything works from the keyboard, and every shortcut can be changed, including the one that opens it.
Yes. The trial is fifteen days with every feature, long enough to use it on real work before you decide.
No. You pay once, and every update after that is free, new major versions included.
