Jot

What is Jot?

Jot is a quick capture app for Mac. Press one hotkey from any app, type the thought, and it is saved. No switching windows, no losing your place. You are already back to what you were doing. I am a solo developer, and the thing that wrecked my focus was never the big interruptions. It was the small stuff that shows up mid-task: a bug I would forget by lunch, a name I needed to keep, the one good line for an email I was avoiding. Saving it meant leaving what I was doing to open a notes app, and by the time I got back the thought was gone. Most days I did not bother. Jot is the fix.
