Nudgr Scratch Pad

Nudgr Scratch Pad

The throwaway editor you keep open all day

A fast, offline, tabbed scratch pad for the snippets, stack traces, config, and half-formed ideas that pass through a developer's day. Paste something in, read it with proper syntax colours, poke at it, copy it back out. Everything stays on your machine — no account, no cloud, no telemetry.

What you get

Tabbed editing

Keep a dozen throwaway buffers side by side. Paste, tinker, and switch between them in an instant.

190+ languages

Syntax highlighting detected automatically from the file extension, or set by hand per tab.

Find & replace across tabs

Search every open tab at once with a Notepad++-style results panel — click any hit to jump straight to it.

Session restore

Close with unsaved, unnamed tabs and they're right where you left them next time. Nothing is lost to a crash or restart.

Real files, when you want them

Open and save real files, drag files in to open them, or just scribble and let session restore hold it for you.

Light & dark themes

A crisp JetBrains Mono type face and a window that remembers its size and position.

Fully offline

No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Your files and notes never leave your computer.

Windows & macOS

A native, lightweight desktop app that starts in an instant and stays out of your way.
