About Itsypad
Itsypad combines a tabbed scratchpad with a searchable clipboard history. The editor offers syntax highlighting, split view, checklists, and a Markdown preview, and keeps tabs and their contents between launches.
It can live in the menu bar or the Dock and appear with a global shortcut. Optional iCloud sync covers scratch tabs and text clipboard entries. The DMG is free on GitHub; a Mac App Store version also exists to support development.
