Score: 5.8/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

Napkin is a persistent scratchpad application for quickly capturing text and images without the overhead of naming or filing. It fills the niche between a forgetful clipboard and an overbearing notes app, offering a board of cards with built-in search and simple inline calculations. Written in C++ with Qt and SQLite, it prioritizes privacy and local-only data.

Target audience: developers, power users, anyone needing a quick temporary paste space
