## What is Jot(Jot it Down)?

Jot is a private, local-first workspace for notes, tasks, Spaces, recordings, transcripts, and personal briefings.

Capture ideas in Markdown, organize related work into Spaces, and review dated tasks beside read-only Apple Calendar events. Record audio, clean up transcripts, and use on-device AI for writing, summaries, task extraction, and planning suggestions on supported devices.

Search across notes and recordings, capture from widgets and extensions, customize your writing environment, and import or export portable files. Core features work without an account, and your content stays under your control.

Jot is supported by thoughtfully paced ads. Optional one-time support purchases permanently remove advertising without locking Notes, Calendar, Spaces, Audio, Search, or local AI behind a subscription.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2025-06-25*

I love the heading and body design in regular notes i always just start typing and it be the headings as someone uses notes for everything i love how this one is set up not as confusing as other note apps.

Side note:  that adding our own pictures for a background could be cool and a good way to make it feel refreshingly different than other apps

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2026-07-18

Jot 1.1.3 is a substantial refresh focused on calmer capture and review.

• A simplified daily Calendar with a compact week strip, read-only Apple Calendar events, dated tasks, and a focused Needs Attention section

• Refreshed Ambient and Threads live backgrounds
• Improved app-open ad pacing, first-run behavior, deep links, task routing, imports, accessibility, and reliability

### 1.1.2 — 2026-04-24

General Fixs and Visual Issues. Such as one user noted unable to leave the more sheet when opening a notes details. New App icon.
****
This update tightens up quick capture on iPhone and carries your visual identity choices through more of the app.

Widgets That Match Your Theme
Your iOS home widgets now follow the palette you picked in Visual Identity instead of falling back to a generic accent set.

Recent notes widgets now inherit your selected surface, border, and accent tones. Quick actions inside the widget use the same visual language as the rest of your setup. The result is a more consistent home screen when you use custom themes.

Better Quick Capture From the Lock Screen
Quick Capture is more reliable when you start recording from the Live Activity and come back later.

The Live Activity now shows clearer Note, Record, and Task actions. If microphone access is denied, Jot surfaces that state explicitly instead of leaving capture in an ambiguous state. Finished audio captures are imported directly into your Recordings library when the app recovers them. Recovered recordings refresh the library immediately, so you do not need to relaunch the app to find them.

New Infinity Threads Background
Visual Identity gets a new animated background option called Infinity Threads.

It draws a slowly woven infinity ribbon behind supported screens. Motion builds up gradually instead of flashing in and out, which makes it feel calmer as a persistent backdrop. You can use it anywhere live backgrounds are supported today.

Fixes You’ll Notice
Pending Live Activity recordings no longer import twice. Missing temporary capture files are cleared cleanly instead of leaving stale recovery state behind. Recording lists refresh as soon as a recovered capture is added.

And more. New website as domain as well. 
I do notice google ads keeps reporting Test it's a domain issue that should resolve on it's own.
