What makes Jot different

Fast to capture. Built to keep.

Visual editing, AI-assisted planning, voice capture, and wikilinks — alongside local-first storage and Markdown you can take anywhere.

⚡

Capture anything, fast

Text, voice, URLs, images, and PDFs — from any app via the Share Extension. Ideas don't wait, and neither should you.

🗓️

Plan My Day — AI-assisted

Generate a structured daily plan each morning. Set your focus task, track progress with Focus Mode, get break reminders, and follow your active task on the lock screen with Live Activities.

📝

Visual editor, Markdown underneath

Format with a floating toolbar, slash commands, and a visual task builder — or write raw Markdown. Either way your notes stay portable and readable in any editor.

🔗

Wikilinks & projects

Link notes together with wikilinks, detect unlinked mentions, and organize work into Projects with a README-as-hub structure and automatic folder layout.

🕘

Version history

Recover any edit. Experimentation doesn't cost you writing — durable note history has you covered.

🎤

Voice capture

Speak and get instant transcription into searchable, editable notes. Great for meetings, brainstorms, and on-the-go capture.

🤖

AI help — your API key

Chat with your notes, get smart summaries, and let AI help organize your thinking. Bring your own key — Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude. No subscription, no data sharing with Jot.

🔒

Your device first

Notes live on-device. Optional AI and sync only run when you enable and trigger them — nothing leaves your device by default.

How Jot works

Capture, plan, and keep — without the overhead.

Jot keeps capture simple, planning useful, and gives you a clear line between local notes and optional networked features.

  • Capture quickly: text, voice, or Share Extension from any app — ideas land immediately
  • Plan your day: AI-assisted daily planning with focus mode, break reminders, and live task tracking
  • Stay organized: Projects, wikilinks, and slash commands keep things structured without friction
  • Keep ownership: Markdown-native notes stay portable in any editor
  • Recover safely: Version history protects every edit over time
  • Go deeper when you want: AI chat, MCP server, and sync are all opt-in

Why Jot

Built for people who want notes they can keep.

Jot is aimed at people who want notes they can keep: local-first storage, Markdown ownership, and optional AI instead of vague automation promises.
