Description
Scraps is a digital ideation sketchbook for creative ambitions, a smart whiteboard, journal, and brainstorming partner designed for the messy, nonlinear early stage of creative work. Rather than trying to finish your thoughts, it gives half-formed ideas a place to live, collide, and mature so what emerges feels discovered rather than manufactured.

The platform is built to capture inspiration wherever it strikes, whether you are commuting, walking, or lying in bed. It supports instant text jots, voice notes on the go, quick photo captures, and hand-drawn sketches, so no fleeting thought gets lost. Its smart canvas is designed to understand your creative process, finding connections between your ideas and surfacing exactly what you need when you need it.
Scraps positions itself as an ideation layer that accelerates rather than replaces your thinking, treating fragments not as clutter but as clues. It is built for artists, founders, designers, and anyone who saves a note or screenshot they do not fully understand yet.
Created by a small team from Columbia and free to use, Scraps is a private space for pre-ideas, hunches, and the starting line of creation.
