You had me at "never show up to a standup unprepared" 😂 this looks really cool! I'm often needing a quick place to just stash thoughts so i can sort them into the right trello board later. This might be it!! Congrats on the launch!

Thanks for hunting us @chrismessina! Hi PH! 👋🏻 Cara here from Stashpad. I'm a developer. I use a scratchpad every day to manage my thoughts and do my work. I used to rely on some combination of untitled text files, sticky notes, and the default notepad on my computer to take notes. It was fast and convenient but I felt scattered. I spoke with hundreds of developers and found that many have had the same experience. The scratchpad is key to doing our best work, and yet it's entirely overlooked. There has to be a better way. Stashpad is the first scratchpad that's purpose-built for developers. It's a fast and organized way to take notes throughout the day without breaking flow. Stashpad has all the features that devs expect out of any tool - including speed, markdown support, and intuitive keybindings. It's also specifically designed to reduce friction in daily workflows and bring small moments of delight to your day. We're looking to bridge the gap between speed and organization. Stashpad is quick and convenient, but also capable of managing considerable complexity. We believe that some amount of context switching is unavoidable when working in a fast-paced environment - and that our tools can be designed to help us switch contexts more seamlessly and gracefully. Can't wait to hear what you think!

Hey y'all! I'm Theo, one of the co-founders of Stashpad. Excited to be launching today! There are plenty of notes apps out there - but none that provided the experience we were looking for. We're interested in what we like to call "scratch notes". The kind of notes you jot down for your own purposes as you're working on stuff. The ones that might seem incoherent to someone else, but make sense to you. Not polished documents, but rather quick ideas as you're getting your thoughts in order, breaking things down, or stashing stuff for later. These kind of notes may seem insignificant, but for many of us, they're a big part of how we manage our day-to-day. We wanted a better tool for these notes. One that's lightweight and fast, but also flexible and powerful - one that's delightful to use and doesn't slow you down. Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

As a developer the keyboard shortcuts are critical so I don't break workflow to get things saved. And as a vim user the shortcuts are natural and easy to use, so no need to re-learn a new tool from the ground up. Excited to see where it goes from here!

@thegillis Our resident vim advocate @chris_lawrence3 has got your back! We're planning for adding customizable shortcuts soon too. Thanks for your support!

Absolutely loving this. Things I particularly love are the default support for mark-down, the ability to collapse stacks, and I _really_ love that all my entries are timestamped. Developers will especially appreciate the familiar keyboard shortcuts that seem to draw heavily from vim. Every day I find a new use, and I am rarely using any other tool. So far, I'm using it for: TODOs Meeting Notes Storing commonly used command-line commands Documenting processes Documenting debugging steps This was so clearly written by and for developers, and is just a really thoughtful, ground-up redesign of the notepad experience. That said, it would be a great tool for anyone, developer or not. Kudos to the team!

Hi! I am a software engineer and have been using Stashpad to capture notes for a long time now. There are a few key features which make this tool very useful for quick note taking. 1. Excellent markdown support to write notes quickly. 2. Great keyboard shortcuts to pull out the exact text and paste it in some other app. 3. App runs locally and doesn’t require an internet connection. 4. When it comes time to organize notes there are ways to move notes to specific locations using the keyboard. To add to that - the development team is very responsive. They quickly address feedback and have a number of improvements planned for the app to eliminate the friction of note-taking. While Stashpad may not be the app to write beautiful long notes, it is the app to write the drafts, organize your thoughts, move content around to prepare that beautiful long note. It is the app to quickly capture tasks, meeting notes, snippets, terminal outputs and everything in between. It is definitely a developer’s app. Wishing the Stashpad team the very best for their PH launch. I look forward to continued development of the app and am excited to see the team launch new features to ease developer workflows.

Review Stashpad Lists?

Reviewers describe Stashpad Lists as a fast, keyboard-first note tool that fits naturally into busy workdays. They use it to capture ideas, links, commands, meeting notes, and task context, and say it balances simplicity with enough structure to stay organized. Several praise the minimal UI, easy shortcuts, local storage, and responsive team. A recurring theme is that it feels quicker and more focused than tools like Evernote, Notion, or scratch files. The main reported gap is limited customization, especially stack icons and clearer task prioritization.
