Signal9 Stash
Stash is a free pad for the person on shift. Keep the fixes, scripts, queries, shortcuts and prompts you actually reuse, keep a list of what you owe, and get any of it back in seconds when the same thing happens again. No signup, and nothing leaves your browser unless you share it. Open it at signal9.app/your-stash and keep it in a window.
Capture first, file later, or never. Paste and press save. A numbered paste becomes steps, a running incident becomes timestamped entries, and everything else stays a note. Six kinds are on offer when you want them, script, query, fix, shortcut, prompt and task, and none of them are in the way when you do not.
Finding it again is the point. Search returns the matching step or entry itself rather than a note title, with the match in view and a copy button beside it, and what you actually reuse rises to the top. Paste an alert and Stash matches it against what you have already saved, or tells you plainly that nothing matches, which is the honest answer when your Stash is still small.
Your Stash stays in your browser, in plain text, on the machine you are using. That also means clearing your browser data clears it, so export a copy to keep. Sharing one fix builds a link that carries the note inside it, so a teammate can read it and save it without anything being uploaded.
Where should I keep the commands and fixes I keep reusing? Somewhere you can find them in seconds while something is broken, which is the part a plain notes app is weakest at. Signal9 Stash is a free pad for that. It keeps scripts, queries, fixes and shortcuts, searches the contents rather than the titles, shows you the matching line with a copy button, and ranks what you actually reuse to the top. It needs no signup and stays in your browser.
Is Stash really free? Yes. Capturing, searching, copying, exporting and sharing all cost nothing, and there is no account to make.
Do I need an account? No. Open signal9.app/your-stash and start typing. An account matters later, when you want the same Stash on another machine.
Where are my notes stored? In this browser, on this machine, in plain text. Nothing is uploaded to us. Clearing your browser data clears your Stash, and some managed browsers do that on a policy, so export a copy and keep it. The export is a plain file that imports straight back.
Can I use this at work if we cannot paste internal detail into public AI tools? That is the case it was built for. Stash sends nothing anywhere, and it uses no AI, so the content stays on your machine. The one exception is a share link, which carries the note inside the link itself, so treat a share the way you would treat pasting the note into chat.
How do I share a fix with a teammate? Share builds a link that carries the note inside it. Send it however you normally would, and they see the steps and can save them to their own Stash. The note travels in the link rather than through us, so anyone with the link can read it and a link cannot be recalled once sent.
Where can I keep prompts for an AI assistant? In Signal9 Stash, alongside the commands and fixes you already keep. Stage a prompt while your assistant is still working on the last one, and keep the prompts that actually worked, so the good version is not lost in a chat history you cannot search. Stash uses no AI itself and sends nothing anywhere, so a prompt holding internal detail stays on your machine until you paste it somewhere yourself.
Can I use it as a todo list? Yes. File a note as a task and it is a list you can find again, and steps give you the numbered version for anything with an order to it. There are no due dates and no reminders, deliberately, because anything with a date belongs in a calendar rather than a pad.
What happens to a running incident note? Start a journal and each line stamps the time as you write it. When it is over, press done and the whole run is saved as one note, so the sequence is still readable next month.
