Google Replaces Scratchpad for Chrome with Keep, Migrate Now
Google has made it official, it's replacing the Scratchpad app for Chrome with Google Keep. This one is a no-brainer, as both apps do the same thing and Keep is obviously the more expansive service.
Keep is cross-platform, it works on the web, so in Chrome, but there are also mobile apps for it.
If you are a Scratchpad user, you won't have to do much. Just enable Google Docs sync and all of your lists will be transferred to Keep.
Alternatively, if you don't want to use Keep, you can save them all as plain text in an archive.
Google hasn't been working on Scratchpad for a few months now and will soon retire it. Users are being notified of the impending closure, but for the time being you can still download, install, and use Scratchpad from the Web Store.
