Can I use Compass.app to do "sass watch", and not have to create a compass project?

Yes.

Compass checks "sass" and "stylesheets" folder by default if there is no config.rb. So you can use Compass.app as a "Sass.app" by the following steps:

1. create a project folder.
2. create a "sass" folder inside it.
3. create a .scss or .sass file inside the "sass" folder.
4. watch the project folder.
5. done. Compass.app will create "stylesheets" folder for you, and generate css files into it.
