## What is Jot It Down?

Jot It Down is a calm, private place for everything on your mind — notes, a daily journal, and the habits you’re building — all in one app that syncs across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

NOTES WITH REAL STRUCTURE
Write more than plain text. Add headings, bullet lists, checklists, and images, and file each note into an area so it’s easy to find later. Pin the notes you reach for most.

A JOURNAL FOR EVERY DAY
Every day gets its own page. Look back across the month or the whole year at a glance. Your calendar events, reminders, and Apple Watch activity rings can appear alongside each day — so your journal reflects what actually happened.

HABITS YOU CAN KEEP
Track daily and weekly habits and check them off as you go. The Habits recap shows how this week and month are going, and the streak you’ve built — so progress is something you can see.

LISTS THAT KEEP YOU MOVING
Make lists of tasks, grouped by area, with a progress bar for each. Edit, reorder, and check things off.

ORGANIZED YOUR WAY
Group notes and lists into areas, browse everything by tag, and start new notes from your own templates.

YOURS, AND PRIVATE
Your notes stay on your device and sync through your own iCloud account — no separate login, no account to create, nothing to mine. Back up everything to a file whenever you want.

MADE FOR APPLE
A native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with light and dark modes and a Today’s Habits widget.

Bug fixes

### 1.1 — 2026-08-27

Archive is here.

• Keep notes forever without the clutter. Archive any note — swipe it or use the note's menu — and it moves to the new Archive folder, tucked out of your Inbox, areas, tags, and search, but always there when you want it.
• The Archive lives right on your Home screen and in the iPad and Mac sidebars. Unarchive anytime, or delete for good from inside the Archive.
• The app icon now supports iPhone's Tinted Home Screen mode, and it's consistent across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
• Plus small fixes and refinements.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-22

No release notes.
