## Description

Scratch Pad is a user-friendly whiteboard Chrome extension designed as digital scratch paper. It offers a clutter-free, full screen canvas without ads, allowing you to pan and zoom seamlessly with two fingers. The app features an infinite edge-to-edge canvas that grows as you navigate, making it perfect for brainstorming, working out math equations, or jotting quick ideas.

The minimalist design includes translucent action buttons and thoughtful UX elements that prevent accidental gestures when drawing near screen edges. It supports both portrait and landscape orientations, with your sketch rotating accordingly. Scratch Pad was created to fill the gap for a simple, intuitive whiteboard app that adapts to your workflow.

## Review summary

Users appreciate Scratch Pad for its simplicity, no ads, and quick loading, making it ideal for rough notes or sketches. However, multiple users request undo/redo features and the ability to save or share their work directly from the app. Additional improvements desired include more pen colors, a dark mode or color inversion for night use, and better precision when drawing small details.

### Pros

- No ads and no unnecessary permissions required, providing a clean user experience
- Quickly loads and retains sketch after closing and reopening the app
- Lightweight and robust, suitable as a replacement for bloated note-taking apps
- Simplicity appreciated by users, good for rough work and kids

### Cons

- No save or share feature, users must rely on screenshot to preserve work
- Lack of undo and redo functionality causes inconvenience during usage
- Limited pen color options; users desire more variety like green or violet
- Missing features like dark mode or color inversion for better usability at night
- Hard to write small details or indices without zooming in
