## What is Tearpad?

I kept opening my notes app to jot down one quick thing and getting hit with folders, tags, and a pile of old notes I forgot to delete. I just wanted a pad of paper. So I made one.

Tearpad opens straight to today's page. Cursor's already blinking, so you just write. There's no title to fill in, nothing to file, no place to put it. When tomorrow rolls around, it turns to a clean page on its own. Yesterday's is one swipe back, curling away like a real notebook.

That's really the whole thing. It's for the notes you'd scribble on a sticky and throw out later. A phone number, a grocery list, the two things you have to do before lunch. Stuff that doesn't need a filing system.

What you get:
• Opens to today every single time
• A fresh page shows up on its own, so you're never staring at last week's leftovers
• Swipe to flip back through your old pages
• Checklists, bullets, and numbered lists, right there in the text
• A few paper colors, textures, and typefaces if you want to make it yours
• No account, no sign in, nothing to set up

If you like it, there's one optional purchase that unlocks the extras. It's a one time thing. I'm not going to charge you every month for a notepad.
