    Great! This is exactly what I was looking for a simple text editor for my Mac, similar to the Notepad app on Windows, which I had really gotten used to back in the day due to its simplicity and convenience. It features a great design, and tabs are included.

What is Itsypad?

Itsypad is a compact, efficient scratchpad and clipboard manager for Mac users. It features a text editor with syntax highlighting, multi-tab functionality, split view, and find and replace features. It also supports clickable links, lists, and checklists. The clipboard manager can store up to 1,000 items and offers easy navigation and search features. Users can also use global hotkeys to control the application.

Itsypad is designed to be lightweight, using minimal CPU and memory resources. It prioritizes privacy, with no AI or telemetry, ensuring user data stays on the user's machine. It can be displayed or hidden as per user preference and offers an auto-start feature. Users can sync their scratch tabs across different Macs via iCloud.

The editor supports multi-tab and split view for working on multiple files simultaneously. It offers syntax highlighting for over 185 languages, automatic language detection, and a built-in find bar. All tabs, content, and cursor positions are saved across restarts, and content is auto-saved to the session. URLs in plain text and markdown tabs are clickable. The software also includes a Monokai-inspired theme with dark and light variants.
