Scratchpad

The Scratchpad is your desk. Instead of one flat list, your notes are sticky cards — coloured, pinnable, highlightable, taggable — with study tools built into every card. It lives at /app/notes (avatar menu → Scratchpad, or the mobile menu), and the same stickies follow you into every lesson's side panel. Everything on it is visible only to you.

The board

• Quick-add sticky — the blank sticky at the top-left is always ready; type and save. Zero friction is the point: capture first, organise later.
• Colours — six sticky colours (paper, yellow, blue, green, pink, purple). Click the colour dots on any card to re-shade it.
• Pin — pinned cards float to the top of the board.
• Filters — chips across the top: All · Pinned · General · one chip per course you have notes for · one chip per tag. Plus a find-as-you-type box that searches titles, text, tags and lesson names.
• Print pack — prints the current view (a course, a tag, pinned-only…) as a clean revision pack. Sticky colours and highlights survive on paper; buttons and menus don't print.

Highlighter

Select any text while editing a note and press the highlighter button — the selection is marked and renders like a real highlighter stroke. Press it again on a highlighted selection to remove the mark. Highlights carry into the Memorise drill and the printed pack.

Templates

Law study runs on structured artefacts. The composer offers one-click skeletons:

Tags

Add comma-separated tags to any note (e.g. limitation, directors' duties). Doctrines cross courses — limitation periods live in contract and tort — and tags are how one idea stays findable across both. Each tag becomes a filter chip on the board and is matched by global search.

Checklists

Any line written as - [ ] something renders as a live checkbox on the card — tap to tick it off. Use the Checklist template or type the lines yourself.

Capture from a lesson

Select any passage while reading a lesson and a Capture to notes pill appears. One click saves the excerpt as a sticky — pre-highlighted, attached to the lesson, and shown immediately in that lesson's Stickies side panel and on your board.

The lesson side panel

Every lesson keeps the quick-jot notes box you know (it autosaves as you type), and beneath it a Stickies panel showing this lesson's sticky cards with the full kit — plus a + composer so you can add a templated sticky without leaving the lesson.

Memorise — cover & rewrite

The drill that actually makes things stick, on every card:

1. Read the note properly.
2. Cover it — the note is hidden and you rewrite it from memory.
3. Compare — a word-level diff shows exactly which words you dropped, side by side with your attempt. Then Ask Moe what I missed goes deeper: it flags substantive gaps (a dropped limitation period, a missing case name), not just wording.
4. Self-grade — Got it / Shaky / Again. "Again" loops you straight back to step 1. Grades are logged so your revision activity counts.

Make flashcards from a note

On any card, Make flashcards has Moe draft front/back cards from your note. You edit or prune them before saving; saved cards are private to you and enter your normal spaced-repetition deck immediately (they show as due on your dashboard and in the guided session, and appear under their own topic on the Flashcards page). Nobody else — classmates or staff — ever sees them.

Ask Moe about a selection

Select text inside any sticky and a small Moe pill appears with four actions:

Results can be copied or added to the note as a new paragraph.

Moe can see your notes

Your trainer reads your scratchpad (and your open tasks) as context. Ask Moe "what did I write about the corporate veil?" or "quiz me on my notes" in the trainer and it answers from what you wrote — and if one of your notes contradicts the course material, Moe will gently say the materials win.
