I've been using TextEditor.app on OSX to quickly open it and jot down something during meetings, etc. until Apple put in cloud into it and you needed to first choose the name and the path of the file where you wanted to store it.
This is when I decided to write TextEd.app which would only do what the previous app did, open a new window with a textarea and only when you wanted to save it it would ask you for the path and name. I even removed the RDT functionality and it would be just plain text without anything.
