Useful little apps.
Ridiculous little prices.
A handy little app shouldn’t come with a monthly bill.
Ours cost 99¢. You buy them. You keep them.Our apps collect no data.

It’s a text box. That’s it.
One continuous note in your menu bar.

- Autosaves on your Mac
- Pin it open
No analytics. No tracking.
No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases.
A wildly overengineered piece of paper.
THE DIME STORE WAY
Life is too expensive
for that nonsense.
Not everything needs to be a subscription. Especially a little app that does one useful thing.
We charge for the app. Once. We don’t rent it back to you, put ads in your way, or sell you the rest of it through in-app purchases. You get the app for 99¢. The whole app.
And your data? We don’t collect it. No analytics. No tracking. Your business stays yours.
OUR STANDING PROMISE
The small print talks back. Tap a line.
A useful little app99¢
Ninety-nine cents. I reckon we’ll both survive.One payment gets you the whole app. The App Store shows the price in your region.
Monthly subscriptionNONE
GIMME ALL YOUR MONEY. Haha, JKJK.No monthly charge. No annual renewal. No cancellation dance.
AdvertisementsZERO
You don’t need a $90 face cream. You’re already beautiful.No banners, pop-ups, sponsored distractions, or ad tracking in the app.
In-app purchasesNONE
The whole app. No “Pro” nonsense.Themes, shortcuts, pinning, and recovery are all included in Scratchpad.
Data collectedZERO
Who you are is none of our business.Scratchpad collects no personal data and runs no analytics or tracking. Your note stays on your Mac. Privacy details.

We don’t have time to build that stuff.No built-in cloud sync. Your note and recovery copies are stored locally.
Account requiredNOPE
We don’t need to make this a relationship.No email address, password, or verification code to use the app. Open it and get on with your day.
You get it. We know.
We’re going to keep saying it anyway.
OVER THE COUNTER
A few good
questions.
Really, just 99¢?
Yes. Each Dime Store app costs 99¢, paid once. The App Store shows the final price in your region.
Are updates free?
Always. You already paid for the app.
Why no subscriptions?
A useful little app shouldn’t become another monthly bill. We make small apps with a small price. You buy them. You keep them.
What’s the catch?
There isn’t one. You get the whole app. No ads, no in-app purchases, no extra payment to unlock the useful bits.
Are you making money from my data?
No. We charge for our apps. Our apps collect no personal data and run no analytics or tracking. Your business stays yours.
