Text Scratch Pad is a minimalist, offline-first, fast Progressive Web App (PWA) for drafting messages conveniently in a large input box and then copy-pasting them to apps with small input boxes. It is designed for mobile but can be used on tablet and desktop as well.
How to Use:
- Draft: Type your message or use your keyboard's microphone key to dictate.
- Copy: Use the Copy button in the top menu to copy all text.
- Paste: Switch to target app and paste.
