Jot - Quick Capture
Best for
One-keystroke local capture on Mac
About
A thought lands while you're mid-task, and by the time you've opened Notes it's already gone.
Key features
- CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE
- Option+Space works on top of any app, including full screen. Your hands never leave the keyboard: Command+Return saves, Esc cancels, and that's the whole interaction.
- FIND IT LATER
- Every capture goes into one searchable log. Type a word and pull up that link from logs in a second, instead of digging through a drawer of sticky notes. Click any line to copy it.
- LIVES IN THE MENU BAR
- No Dock icon, no window to babysit. Click the menu-bar icon for your recent notes and the full history.
- YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS
- Notes are written to a plain file on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, there's no account, and nothing is watching what you type. Export the whole log to Markdown whenever you want and take it with you.
