Your note → the right answer
It remembers what you wrote
You ask and the Scratch Pad returns what was already written there, in your words and with your number.
On the roadmap
AI that writes from your memory.
A Markdown notebook that links itself, Obsidian style, and lives on your Mac. When you ask “how much did I close with that client for?”, Shadow Whisper reads your Scratch Pad and answers with your data, not a generic guess.
The concept
A second brain the AI understands
Your notes become context. Instead of answering in the generic, the AI answers with what's yours.
- Markdown notes that connect to each other, Obsidian style, forming your own map of information.
- Everything stays local, on your computer: it's your memory, not a profile in some cloud.
- The LLM reads the Scratch Pad as context when it writes, so the text comes out with your facts.
- It grows with you: every decision, price and deadline you note stays available for next time.
What for
What the Scratch Pad remembers for you
The things you always forget and have to dig out of your history or a notebook.
Freelancer
What you charged
“How much did I close the last project for with this client?” and the number comes from your own note, no email to hunt.
Contract
Deadlines and terms
Renewal date, penalty, agreed scope: whatever you recorded answers back when you need it.
Meeting
What got decided
That call from three weeks ago is still there, ready to become text again.
Client
Preferences and context
Tone of voice, contact name, what they asked for before: the Scratch Pad keeps the relationship history.
Project
Technical decisions
Why did you pick that approach? The reasoning stays noted and linked to the rest of the project.
Personal
Your log of facts
Loose ideas, goals, numbers from the day: a place that's only yours, so you don't lean on memory.
Local first
It stays on your computer
A personal memory only counts if it's truly yours. The Scratch Pad is born local and portable.
- The files are yours: plain Markdown on your Mac, open in any editor.
- Nothing goes to the cloud unless you ask; the memory lives with you, not on a server.
- Portable by nature: open the same notes in Obsidian or any Markdown app.
- You decide what the AI can read, and what stays only with you.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Obsidian?
No. The Scratch Pad is Shadow Whisper's own and works on its own. Since it's plain Markdown, you can open the same notes in Obsidian if you already use it, but it isn't required.
Where do my notes live?
On your computer, as Markdown files. It's a local memory: you know where it is and you take it wherever you want.
Does the AI send my notes to the cloud?
The approach is local first. The LLM uses the Scratch Pad as context to write, and you control what it can read. No uploading your memory unless you say so.
Can I edit outside the app?
Yes. Because it's plain Markdown, any text editor can open and edit it. The Scratch Pad just reads what's there to help you write.
When does the Scratch Pad ship?
It's on the roadmap, not in today's app. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know when the Scratch Pad is ready to try.
