Sometimes you need a little bit of Scrap Paper while you are working on something. Maybe you are filling out online forms, and you want an app to copy bits of text from. Or you just want to jot down a random thought without creating a new note in your other notes app. Scrap Paper is a simple notes app with only one note. Scrap Paper is also available for macOS and features cross-device iCloud sync. P.S.: Scrap Paper can solve simple math problems. How it works: Type in a problem (e.g. "2+3*4"), highlight it, and click on the "Solve Math Problem" button in the context menu. Scrap Paper will append an equal symbol and the result (e.g. "=14"). Computation happens locally on your device.

That Checklist allows for quick data entry into text fields and mark-off of checkboxes. Group checklists content into navigable entries to easily organize content. Click on a Nav Item to bring up previous checklists fast. Edit or reorder content using built-in context menus. Checklists can be shifted left/right to simulate a parent/child tree-like structure. A powerful Filter field allows for fast filtering of content. Filtering can be toggled between filtering by checklist text entry or Tree name. Features: - Editable navigation items. - Stellar tree view to organize complex checklists. - Great looking checklists that can be indented to form parent/child structures. Instructions for app use: 1.) Launch app. 2.) Click + icon to create a new Navigation Item (Nav Item). 3.) Enter in a Nav Item name. 4.) Click newly created nav item. 5.) Main view loads. Click + icon in upper right to add new Tree Item. When pop up shows, enter a name. 6.) Click newly created Tree Item’s + icon. This creates checklist for data entry. 7.) Type data into text fields. It auto saves content. Click the checkbox to check-off items like a checklist. 8.) Click move left/right arrows to adjust indent. 9.) Click ( - minus) icon to delete a checklist. If text field has data, there will be a confirmation pop-up. If no data, the field is just removed. 10.) Tap-hold on checklist checkbox or the buttons to right for context options. For example tap-holding on minus (-) button will show more options. 10.1) Tap-hold options: Insert New Text Above/Below will insert a new checklist either above current tap-hold location or below. Indentation of inserted items will match current indent of currently tap-hold item. 10.2) Reorder will show a pop-up view where user can drag/drop entries around in whichever desired order is wanted. 11.) Toolbar Reorder button will perform a similar task as the checklist Reorder; although it will only show Tree items in list and they will be reordered to desired order. 12.) Toolbar chevrons for collapse all and expand all, this affects only Tree items under current Navigation item - unless using the "All Items" navigation, then all Tree Items for all Navigation Items will either expand or collapse. 13.) Tap-hold context options for Navigation items for editing Nav Item name, Reordering list, or deleting. 14.) Filter field at bottom left of main view - clicking the filter icon will cycle between either filtering by Text data or by Tree Item name. Toggle icon to appropriate choice and type into filter field. Data is dynamically filtered. Be sure to clear the filter when complete - changing to another Navigation item keeps the Filter text and will still actively attempt to filter content. Use Examples: -Verify the packing of camping supplies. -Create to do lists for chores. -List out your reminders. -Document completion of work tasks.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scrap Paper at 95% against That Checklist's 0%. Scrap Paper also leads on ratings volume (35 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). That Checklist's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

That Checklist holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scrap Paper has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Scrap Paper's written reviews are positive against 0% of That Checklist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scrap Paper ships an update every 6 weeks, That Checklist fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
