You saved it. Now read it. SnackBack saves links, videos and images, then lets AI sort, tag and summarize them β€” and brings a few back to you every day, so you actually read what you saved. SAVE WITH ONE SHARE Share from any app β€” your browser, Instagram, YouTube, Threads. There is no folder to choose and no tag to type. AI FILES IT FOR YOU The moment something lands, AI reads it, files it into a folder, tags it and writes a summary. You never design a folder structure or keep a tagging system alive. VIDEOS GET WATCHED YouTube videos and Instagram Reels are summarized, so you know what is inside a long one before you give it twenty minutes. IMAGES GET READ Screenshots and carousel posts are read for the text inside them and turned into cards you can search. ASK YOUR LIBRARY "What was that marketing article I saved last week?" finds it. No title, no date, no exact keyword needed. IT COMES BACK TO YOU A few saved items return each day, summarized, in servings small enough to finish. Saving is where every other app stops. This is the part that makes the pile go down. WORKS OFFLINE Saves land straight away without a connection and sync once you are back online. WHO IT IS FOR - You save good posts from Instagram or Threads and never open them again - Links pile up in chat threads where you cannot search them - You started with Notion or Evernote and gave up on the upkeep - Your read-it-later list only ever gets longer SUPPORTED FORMATS Links (URL), images, and text notes. FREE AND PRO Free covers up to 30 saved items in total. Pro removes the cap and adds audio playback, library Q&A, and weekly reports. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings.

Speak, type, it’s noted. Turn your iPhone into a powerful idea organizer. Ideas strike, but often fade away just as fast. Traditional note apps are too slow to open or too complex to organize for capturing the moment. Jot solves this by eliminating all friction between your mind and the screen: an instant interface, no complex folders, designed for immediate capture. Jot turns your raw thoughts, voice dictations, and ideas into a perfectly structured, beautiful notebook that’s a joy to browse. CAPTURE AT the SPEED OF THOUGHT Stop worrying about which folder to file your note in. Open the app and start typing immediately in the chat-like interface. Zero complex navigation: every note is saved in under two seconds. SPEAK NATURALLY, JOT STRUCTURES THE TEXT Dictate your thoughts as they come. Powered by JOT AI, your iPhone’s new 100% local and private AI, Jot automatically cleans up stutters (like "um," repetitions, and pauses), organizes text into readable paragraphs, and generates a relevant title. Voice becomes your fastest, most fluid writing tool. ACCESS IT ANYWHERE, INSTANTLY An idea while walking or in a meeting? Trigger instant capture from the iOS Control Center, set it to your iPhone’s Action button, or simply say, "Hey Siri, capture an idea." Record your thoughts instantly without even opening the app. PLAN YOUR ACTIONS EFFORTLESSLY Don't let any idea go stagnant. Select a passage from your note to set a reminder. Jot automatically extracts dates and times from your selection (e.g., "call Peter tomorrow at 2 PM") to create custom reminders directly within the app. KEEP YOUR IDEAS IN SIGHT Never lose track. With elegant widgets designed for the Home and Lock Screens, display your most recent notes and upcoming tasks right before your eyes for one-tap access. WARM AND REFINED DESIGN Far from cold, austere productivity apps, Jot offers a "Warm & Minimal" design inspired by the feel of physical kraft paper notebooks. Enjoy fluid animations, eye-friendly typography, and an immersive dark mode crafted for optimal reading comfort. YOUR DATA IS 100% PRIVATE No accounts. No cloud. No ads. All your notes are securely stored on your device. AI features and voice transcription run locally on your hardware for absolute privacy.
