Scratch v0.6.0

What's New

Single-File Preview Mode

• Open any .md file in a lightweight preview window — no notes folder needed
• Great for quickly viewing or editing standalone markdown files

Drag-and-Drop

• Drag a .md file onto the Scratch window to open it in preview mode
• Files inside your notes folder automatically open in folder mode instead

"Open With" / File Associations

• Scratch registers as a handler for .md and .markdown files
• Right-click any markdown file in Finder → Open With → Scratch

Copy Filepath

• Right-click a note in the sidebar to copy its absolute filepath to the clipboard
• Handy for pasting into terminal or AI tools

Bug Fixes

• Fixed plain-text copy/export producing excessive blank lines between list items and blocks — plain text is now cleanly normalized from the markdown source
