Leave your cursor in the target input and summon CuePad. Hit dispatch — the text lands right where you were typing. Pin your favorite target, and let auto-send press Enter for you.
100% local — every card lives in one SQLite file on your Mac. No account. No cloud. No telemetry.
Full-screen cards with light styling for headings, lists and code blocks. Plain text in, plain text out — every keystroke autosaves.
CuePad lives in the tray and hides instead of closing. One global shortcut brings it back, right over your work.
⌥ SpaceSend the whole card, or select a passage and send just that part.
⇧ ↵Immersive editing with gentle styling for ## headings, - lists, code blocks and {{variables}}. Select any passage to send just that part, or turn the selected lines into tasks.
Draft with {{variables}}; CuePad asks for the values right before you copy or dispatch — and each card remembers your last answers.
⌘ F searches projects, cards and tags from anywhere. Enter jumps straight to the card.
A horizontal project bar, global favorites, floating to-dos — and a trash that forgives.
A quiet desk for loud ideas.
Light, dark, or follow the system — the paper stays easy on your eyes.
