## Description

Table controls fix added and general performance improvements.

Benchpad is a scratchpad, not a second brain.

Three pads. You name them — Work / Personal / Scratch, Today / This Week /
Someday, whatever fits your head. No folders, no tags, no filing decisions.
Open, type, close.

WRITE WITHOUT DECIDING
Every note app asks "where does this go?" before you've written a word.
Benchpad doesn't. Three pads means the decision is already made.

WORKS ON A PLANE
Offline-first, not offline-tolerant. Every keystroke saves to your device
before any network request. Sync happens in the background when you're online
— and merges conflict-free if you edited on two devices at once.

CONSTRAINT IS THE PRODUCT
Benchpad is for people who want to write things down — not maintain a system.
A note app that knows when to stop.
When you can't create infinite folders, you write instead of organizing. Constraint isn't a compromise. It's the product.

A REAL EDITOR
Headings, checklists, tables, code blocks with syntax highlighting, images,
file attachments all with slash commands and a block editor.

NO AI. NO ADS. NO DATA MINING.
Nothing reads, summarizes, or trains on your notes. Notes are encrypted at
rest. Plain markdown — copy everything out anytime, no lock-in.

FREE FOREVER, REALLY
One pad, the full editor, offline support, sync, and an archive of 100 notes —
free, no credit card, no time limit. Pro ($10/year flat) unlocks all three
pads, all six themes, attachments, voice-note audio, and Markdown/PDF export.

Benchpad is for people who want to write things down — not maintain a system.
A note app that knows when to stop.
