What Exactly is Scapple?
I recommend this for everyone!
- Keeping notes...
- Keeping recipes...
- Keeping a business organized...

If I want to add pictures or copy and paste from an internet search, I can do that to all while keeping them on one page....

There is so much more that I have not even used. It has so many more features that I would love to explore and plan to soon. It is truly a Ferrari in a Pinto world...
