Rated 5.0 Stars by fast thinkers, Jot is the anti-procrastination tool designed specifically for ADHD minds and anyone overwhelmed by bloated productivity software.

### 5/5 — Simple and elegant way to capture notes on the go

*2026-08-07*

This is a really nice app for capturing notes with some good organization capabilities as well. Apple Watch app works well and is the key piece for me. The interface is simple and direct, very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Could you please add AI features?

*2026-07-22*

Hi! First of all, thank you for making this app. I just purchased Jot Pro. I thought the task-splitting feature would use AI to organize and categorize everything after a brain dump, but I haven’t been able to get it to work that way. I’d love a feature that automatically turns a brain dump into separate tasks and organizes them into categories.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and kind words! Please reach out via our email for support as we have the functionality you are talking about where it splits up a long brain dump into individual tasks each with appropriate tags applied. Please let us know if there are additional thoughts you have for improvement!

### 5/5 — 👍🏼

*2026-04-25, version 1.8.3*

Just what I was looking for - simple to use and works perfectly

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-04-07*

As someone with ADHD, I find it really hard to read long notes if I don’t have bold, italic, headers.. all a long chunk of text, I really wish this app had basic markdown syntax and quick capture with a keyboard shortcuts not just voice, to open a new or existing note.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the time and the suggestions!  We do have basic formatting available via the menu, and can look into typical markdown formatting as well as well as adding a new global keyboard shortcut for a new text note. FYI, you can copy and paste into the dropdown during the voice note capture for quickly capturing what’s in your clipboard if that’s helpful in the mean time.

### 5/5 — Perfect for teachers on the go

*2026-02-21*

As a teacher, ideas for lessons or reminders about meetings pop into my head at the worst times—like during lunch or while walking to my car. Jot is the only app that opens fast enough to catch them. The voice notes feature is a game-changer for hands-free capture. It helps me stay organized without the admin hassle, so I can focus on my students.

**Developer response:** So glad it is helping you in your busy day!  Teachers are amazing… thanks for all you do!

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2026-02-18, version 1.5*

Jot is a sophisticated solution for taking voice notes and quickly capturing thoughts/ideas. The use of shortcuts and the app’s ability to run in the background provide a seamless and frictionless experience for the user, making it breeze and a pleasure to use. Jot’s off to an excellent start and I look forward to its future evolution.

### 5/5 — Looking Great

*2026-02-07, version 1.3*

This app has impressed me with its simplicity and slickness - makes you want to use it. Developer seems to understand what makes a good app.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2026-02-07*

Already created so many notes on the Mac version, but the Apple watch complication is the game changer for me. Can go from an idea in my head to logged into my phone with a single tap and right back to whatever I’m doing. Phenomenal app idea and execution.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! This is exactly the kind of feedback that makes building Jot worth it. The Apple Watch complication being a game changer is huge to hear - that phone-free, single-tap capture was one of the core problems we set out to solve. The fact that you can get an idea out of your head and straight into your notes without breaking your flow is everything.  My dog appreciates that I don't have to stop our walk to pull out my phone to capture that quick thought.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Enjoy those notes!

### 5/5 — FANTASTIC Little App!

*2026-02-07*

I found this wonderful little app on the MacApps subReddit, where the developer is graciously and actively engaging the community. After using it for short while, I quickly discovered its value and innovation! The UI is extremely simple and polished, and there are many useful  features that you didn’t know you needed. This app is going to be a time-saving daily-driver for me. Well done, and thank you!

**Developer response:** This absolutely made my day... thank you! Really appreciate you giving Jot a shot after seeing it on Reddit. That community has been incredible for feedback and helping shape where the app is going.
Love hearing that the UI and features are clicking for you. Knowing it's becoming a daily driver for you is the best feedback we could ask for.
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It means a lot!

### 5/5 — Handy App

*2026-02-06*

Saw this app in a Reddit post and was intrigued. Glad I downloaded it! Nice and polished app that will come in handy for those random ideas that pop up from time to time. Looking forward to see how this one grows.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Really glad you took a chance on it after seeing the Reddit post. Those random idea moments are exactly what Jot is built for - capturing them before they vanish.
Appreciate the kind words about the polish, and excited to keep improving it based on feedback from folks like you. Thanks for being an early supporter!
