Jotcal is a family calendar designed to be seen, not managed. A single calm surface that shows what's happening today, without making you tap, scroll, or search. Put it on a tablet on the kitchen wall, or keep it in your pocket. It reads the same way. WRITE IT BY HAND Jot an event with Apple Pencil. Handwriting recognition turns your note into a calendar entry. No forms, no dropdowns. FIVE WAYS TO READ YOUR DAY Agenda, Grid, Timeline, Daybook, and the Dial. Pick the one that fits how you think, or the one that reads best from across the room. BUILT FOR THE WALL On a tablet, Jotcal becomes an ambient display: large, quiet, legible at a distance. WEATHER ON THE DAY Sunrise, daylight, and rain sit on the day itself, not in a separate tab you never open. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY USE Your existing calendars, on your device. No new account, no sign-up, no lock-in. PRIVACY No account. No analytics. We don't measure how you use the app. No ads. Your handwriting never leaves your device. Jotcal contains no third-party SDKs of any kind. PAY ONCE One payment, yours forever. No subscription. Handwriting and calendar sync are always free. Pro unlocks every view, weather on your days, and the widgets. Buy once and every future update is included at today's price.
