AI Analysis
●●SolidSolve My ProblemShip It
Hides scratch files from Git status via `.git/info/exclude` while keeping them visible to AI.
Strengths
- •Local exclude rules prevent commits while keeping files visible to editors.
- •Updates AI instruction files like `.cursorrules` to recognize the scratchpad.
- •Zero-dependency CLI installs via `npx` without polluting local npm packages.
Weaknesses
- •Thin wrapper around file operations; could easily be a shell script.
- •Lacks configuration for custom folder names or exclude patterns beyond defaults.

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.

Auto-organize – Clean up messy folders with a single npx command
Preview mode and overwrite protection show the author thought about safety — you can simulate changes with --preview and it avoids clobbering files. The ability to run via npx for one-offs, plus --only / --exclude flags and reuse of existing folders, make it a practical, low-friction utility. Not groundbreaking, but a tidy, sensible tool for a common pain point.
