Scratchpad app that auto-saves notes as .txt files

It removes the small but annoying friction of TextEdit — auto-saving notes to a preset folder and auto-naming them by timestamp, first line or a counter so you never face a save/delete dialog. Keyboard shortcuts, a hideable sidebar and plain .txt storage keep the tool brutally simple and predictable. Not novel, but sharply focused: if you want a local scrap-paper workflow on macOS, this does that exact job without drama.
