Your own little workspace for
code, diagrams & notes.

One small Go binary you run on your own server. Code snippets, drawings, mindmaps, rich-text docs and kanban boards — all stored as plain files, synced to a private git repo, and shareable with expiring view-only links.

Everything in one place

Six editors

Code (CodeMirror), drawings (Excalidraw), mindmaps (Mind Elixir), docs (Tiptap), kanban boards and Cornell notes.

Files + git

Your data is real files synced to a private repo over SSH or HTTPS. Easy backup and recovery.

Share links

View-only links with optional expiry and auto-generated preview images.

Version history

Every item is git-tracked — browse and restore any past version.

Backlinks

Connect items with [[wiki-links]] and a linked-from panel.

Light & fast

~20–30 MB idle RAM, single static binary, instant boot. No Docker, no DB server.

A workspace, not five apps

Self-host in a minute

git clone https://github.com/phoenix911/scratchpad
cd scratchpad
make all          # build the SPA, embed it, produce ./scratchpad
./scratchpad      # http://localhost:8080

Then put it behind Caddy, nginx, a Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale and set a password. See the docs.
