SlideJot is a tiny jot pad for the thoughts you'd otherwise lose — the idea in line at the coffee shop, the sentence you'll want later, the link you don't know where to file yet. A jot is lighter than a note and more durable than the clipboard. Open the app, type, done. No folders to choose, no titles to invent, no formatting decisions. Organize later — or never. CAPTURE FIRST, ORGANIZE LATER • Start a new jot in one tap and just write • Everything autosaves as you type • Pin the jots you keep coming back to • Deleted jots go to Trash, so nothing is lost by accident FIND WHAT YOU PARKED • Fast full-text search across your current jots • The messy fragment you saved becomes useful again when you can actually find it MORE THAN PLAIN TEXT • Choose images with Apple's system Photos picker or take one with the camera • Add code blocks and section blocks from the keyboard toolbar • Undo and redo, right where you type • Adjustable editor font size, plus light, dark, or system appearance BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • On iPad, a two-column layout keeps your list and editor side by side • Keyboard shortcuts for common actions when a hardware keyboard is attached OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC • Flip one switch to sync jots and images across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Sync uses your own iCloud account — we never see your data • Local editing works offline; pending changes sync after a connection is available PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no email required • No ads, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs • Your jots live on your device, and in your own iCloud only if you enable sync FREE, WITH NOTHING TO UNLOCK SlideJot for iOS is completely free: no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall.
