App Description

Hacker Pad is a convenient scratch pad that allows everyone, especially developer, to quickly jot down ideas and snippets. This comes from the need of my colleagues who struggle with how to quickly write down notes in a convenient way.

Hacker Pad lives in the menu bar for quick access, with multiple dark themes to choose from. Features includes
