Scratchpad
The notes app Claude and ChatGPT can actually read
A notes app that connects to Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI apps via MCP server, letting them search, read, and write your notes with a built-in assistant.
Overview
Scratchpad is a notes app that integrates with AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex through an MCP server. It lets your AI search your notes, read them, and add to them. Every note includes a built-in assistant that can search other notes, rewrite passages, and work with files like PDFs and photos. You control what each connected app can access through permission levels: Capture, Read, or Full. The app stores notes on its own servers, backs them up every night, and encrypts locked notes with passwords. You can export notes as Markdown and use voice memos that are transcribed on Scratchpad's servers.

Frequently looked up
- Q1Which AI apps work with Scratchpad?
- Anything that can add a remote MCP server, including Claude on the web, desktop, and phone, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and more. Give it the MCP address, sign in, and approve it.
- Q2Do I need the AI plan to connect Claude or ChatGPT?
- No. Connecting apps and the API come with both plans. The difference is the assistant built into Scratchpad: at US$12 a month it runs on Scratchpad's key with 500 messages a month, and at US$8 it runs on your own key with no limit.
- Q3Can AI assistants delete my notes?
- No. No assistant can delete a note or put one in the Trash, whatever permission it has. Every rewrite goes through a change you can see, and every earlier version stays in the note's history.
- Q4Does Scratchpad train AI models on my notes?
- No. Scratchpad does not use notes to train AI models, does not use them for advertising, and never sells anything about users.
- Q5Is there a free trial?
- No, but there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Scratchpad is not for you, email within 30 days of the first payment and you will receive a full refund.
