Moonpad

The cross-platform, auto-saving scratchpad with tabs.

Inspired by FromScratch and named after the great John Maus song, Moonpad is a simple scratchpad intented for you to quickly type down your notes, thoughts, to-dos... anything, really.

It is an Electron app built with React/Redux/TypeScript and uses styled-components for styling.

Features

• Content auto-saving
• Tabs! Move them up/down, edit their names, create some, delete some
• Window always-on-top toggle
• Clutter-free mode: show/hide tabs sidebar
• Character/Word counters on text selection
• A super clean UI, featuring the great colors from the Nord palette

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Ctrl/Cmd + e - Toggle open/close the tabs sidebar
• Ctrl/Cmd + n - Create a new tab
• Ctrl/Cmd + . - Toggle window always-on-top mode
• Ctrl/Cmd + s - ... No need, content is auto-saved

Content Storage

Both window preferences and tabs/content are saved in a single json file, data.json:

• On Windows: %APPDATA%/Moonpad/data.json
• On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Moonpad/data.json
• On Linux: ~/.config/Moonpad/data.json

For the time being, this location is not configurable.
