A floating place to type a note and get back to work.

About
Scratchpad opens a small window, takes the thought you need to park, and gets out of the way. It is for the phone number during a call, the two lines you will need in a minute, and the thing you would otherwise lose by switching apps to write it down. Scratchpad is global, so the same notes are reachable from anywhere with a shortcut.
