Description
Gulp is a scratchpad that forgets. Press a shortcut, type or say a quick note, and a goldfish in your Mac's menu bar holds it for a few hours while the ink turns gold. Then it's gone. No account, no sync, no history. Free.

Could you build this?
Yes A lightweight macOS menu bar app (built via SwiftUI or Electron/Tauri) with an ephemeral scratchpad and a timer-based auto-delete function is very simple to implement.
