A to-do list that does one thing well. No projects. No tags. No reminders. No calendars. No subscription. Just your tasks and a checkbox. Jot it down, check it off, move on. Jott is for people who are tired of to-do apps that try to manage your entire life. If you've ever opened a task manager and spent more time organising tasks than actually doing them — this app is for you. — HOW IT WORKS Open the app. Type a task. Tap the circle when it's done. That's it. Your list is always right there. No folders to navigate, no inboxes to process, no weekly reviews to feel guilty about. One list. Your tasks. A checkbox. — DESIGNED TO FEEL GOOD Every interaction in Jott is crafted to be satisfying. The check animation. The subtle haptics when you complete a task. The way finished items gracefully disappear. Small details that make checking things off feel rewarding. Choose from 6 handcrafted themes — each with its own personality, colour palette, and custom font. From warm honey tones to deep midnight navy, soft cherry blossom pink to clean architectural grey. Your to-do list should look as good as it feels. — WHAT YOU GET - Unlimited to-dos — no caps, no limits - 6 beautiful themes with custom typography - Completion streak tracking - Full completion history — see everything you've accomplished - Swipe to delete tasks you no longer need - Drag to reorder your priorities - Shareable stats card — show off your productivity - Works on iPhone and iPad - No account required — your data stays on your device - No ads, no tracking, no subscription — pay once, own it forever — WHY PAY FOR A TO-DO LIST? Because you deserve a tool that respects your time and your attention. Free apps sell your data or nag you with upsells. Subscription apps charge you monthly for features you don't need. Jott is different. One price. Everything included. No strings. It's the last to-do app you'll download. — If you have feedback or ideas, I'd love to hear from you.
