Inspiration

With the volume of distractions we face just in opening our phones, even a task as simple as jotting down a note can lead to distraction. Sometimes, we even forget why we opened our phone in the first place. Jot aims to address this issue by stripping note-taking down to its barest elements, enabling you to write down your idea as fast as possible and file it away whenever you’re ready.

What it does

The crux of Jot is its separation into two entirely distinct applications: one for taking notes, and one for viewing and filing them. The note-taking side is as minimalist as it gets: you have a text box, a priority menu, and a Jot button, which uploads your note to the cloud. You cannot view past notes, add metadata to notes, or anything else that might distract you from your task: writing down that idea as quickly as possible.

The viewing application is where you address your ideas. It’s meant to be used on your desktop—when you really have time to parse through, refile, or address your thoughts. Notes are sorted by the priority you assigned earlier, so you’ll always see your most important ideas first. When you’re done giving your idea its forever home, you can dismiss it from Jot.
