Tasks, money and notes — everything you need to remember, in one place. Open it, write it down, done. No account, no internet, and nothing ever leaves your phone. ■ Three things, one app • To-do — due dates, your own categories, swipe a row to move it. Ticked something by mistake? Undo it. • Expenses — an amount and a category. Type sums if that is easier: 120+80*2. At month end it adds itself up. • Notes — everything that is neither. Attach a photo or a file. ■ Reminders in plain Thai Type "พรุ่งนี้บ่าย 3" (tomorrow, 3pm) or "อีก 30 นาที" (in 30 minutes). Or pick a date and time instead. ■ Monthly bills, set once Rent, internet, electricity, the chore that comes round every month. Say which day it falls on. JOT puts it in your to-do list when the day arrives, you tick it paid, and next month it is back. • An unticked bill is not counted as spending. The money has not left yet. • Paying in instalments? Set a first and last month and JOT counts them off. • Scroll back to check a month was paid in full. ■ Jot keeps an eye on it What is left today, what is late, where the money went this month. Or just ask: "งานค้างมีอะไรบ้าง" (what is still open?). ■ Your data stays yours • No sign-up. No email. No password. • No internet connection. Works with no signal at all. • No ads. No trackers. No server of ours. • One backup file you keep, and carry to a new phone. Free, all of it. Nothing to buy inside. ENJOY YOUR JOT !
