Appreciate you taking the time to share this. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-02-06* The best app **Developer response:** You're the best user! ### 5/5 — Merges notes and tasks nicely *2025-12-30* Fresh and promising new note app. Notes can be checked off, pinned, tagged and put in separate folders and reminders set. Speedy text or voice entry, multiple themes and can be quickly tidied up with multi-select. Also comes with an Apple Watch app right off the bat and a reasonable lifetime purchase. Worth checking out. Nice work. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! Really glad to hear Jot is clicking for you - especially the multi-select tidying and Apple Watch integration. We're working hard to keep improving the experience, so feedback like this means a lot. Appreciate you taking the time! ### 5/5 — Merges notes and tasks nicely *2025-12-26* Fresh and promising new note app. Notes can be checked off, pinned, tagged and put in separate folders and reminders set. Speedy text or voice entry, multiple themes and can be quickly tidied up with multi-select. Also comes with an Apple Watch app right off the bat and a reasonable lifetime purchase. Worth checking out. If not already available (not in screenshots), watch complications (small and large) would be nice additions and greatly appreciated. Nice work. ### 5/5 — Helpful for busy people *2025-12-25* For someone who teaches and is actively in school, it is very helpful to recite all of the things that I need to do and have the Jot app organize it into designated note categories for each topic. Very helpful! **Developer response:** Thank you so much, Hannah! As someone juggling both teaching AND being in school yourself - that's incredibly demanding, and we have so much respect for the work you're doing. Really glad Jot is helping lighten the mental load even a little bit. Getting all those thoughts organized without extra effort is exactly what we hoped it would do for people in situations like yours. Thank you for taking the time to share this, and best of luck with everything you're balancing! ### 5/5 — Very nice for when a thought just pops into your head *2025-12-24* Jot is an amazing app, and is very great for when a thought just pops into my head and I need to write it down before I forget it within a few minutes. Probably my favorite thing about Jot is creating multiple lists, and when I have a long list name, it doesn't get cut off, it goes onto a new line. The multiple themes to customize as well as voice capture are also very nice features. **Developer response:** Thanks so much! Love that you're using Jot exactly as intended - capturing those fleeting thoughts before they disappear. The multiple list thing is a feature we're proud of (helps keep random ideas separated without breaking your flow). Really glad the themes and voice capture are working well for you too. Appreciate you taking the time to share this! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — This app is nice *2026-01-27* This app is nice but I wish you could add a feature to create also to do list that would be more helpful **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Just wanted to mention that Jot does support subtasks with checkmarks inside notes - and you can add and order them however you'd like. That said, we are looking to add due dates in addition to our current reminders that may also help address what you're looking for. ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 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.
