ISTR Scratch being available as a standalone executable, and then changing into a web app. The standalone tool made it easy to let my kid play around with while not having the whole internet there to distract him. Is the standalone app still available?

Yes, the old 1.4 version is available and the new 2.0 version has a stand alone build that works without internet access. It requires adobe AIR.

Presumably there's a way to use the app without having access to the entire Internet, especially considering this is a link to the source code.
