Jot is a minimal notes app designed for speed, customization and privacy. Your notes stay on your device unless you export them or turn on Back Up to iCloud. No account, no servers, no tracking. It's the perfect inbox for your thoughts, ideas and notes: capture them quickly, then export them anywhere you want. Sort as you write, not later. Type a category's name and it jumps to the front, ready to tap. Staying organized takes no extra effort. Make lists and checklists, and tick things off as you go. Turn on Math, type = after a sum, and Jot adds the answer. Send a note to Reminders or Calendar, and the date comes with it. Use the privacy screen, attachments, stash your notes for later, quickly bring back a note you saved, and accurate voice dictation using Apple's APIs. Capture from anywhere with widgets, Control Center, Siri, the share sheet or your voice. Make Jot your own with fonts, colors and backgrounds, and share your designs with friends using a theme code. Every category can have its own unique background and font. Made for iPhone Duo: Jot fills the inner screen and keeps your note when you fold or unfold. Export your jots whenever you want, as plain text or Markdown, with plenty of options to get the formatting just right. Jot is free. An optional subscription supports the solo developer and adds Workspaces and the Live Activity. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
