About SCAP
Scapple is Literature & Latte's app for jotting notes anywhere on a page and joining them up, for the Mac and Windows, from the makers of Scrivener. Writers plan novels and theses on it, and its .scap files reach people who don't have it.
A .scap is XML: each note with its place, width, text, font size, colors and border, the shapes drawn behind notes, the notes each one is joined to and points to, and the board's paper color.
Filepeek draws the board as Scapple lays it out: each note where it was put, in its fill, border and text color, the shapes behind them, and a straight line between joined notes with an arrowhead at the one pointed to. Drag to pan, pinch or Ctrl and scroll to zoom, and Find dims the notes that don't match.

Questions
How do I open a .scap file without Scapple?
Drop it on this page or press Peek a SCAP. The board opens with every note in its place, on any computer or phone.
Can I open a Scapple board on an iPad or a phone?
Yes. Scapple only runs on Macs and Windows, but Filepeek runs in any browser, so the board opens on an iPad, an iPhone or an Android phone too.
Why don't my notes show their own fonts?
Filepeek sets every note in the site's own font, at the size Scapple gave it, so a line may break a little differently than in Scapple.
Can I see the XML?
Yes. The Tree, Table and Text buttons show the file as it is.
