Jot vs ChimeSet

Jot. Swipe down to add tasks or notes. No menus, no nested folders, no project-management overhead. Just today's plan, focused and clear. — EVERY TASK HAS A FATE — Jot. doesn't believe in infinite backlogs. Swipe to complete a task. Hold to shelve it for another day. Rescue it from yesterday's pile if it still matters. Active, completed, shelved, rescued. Every task finds its resolution. — A PHYSICS PILE, EVERY MORNING — Unfinished tasks don't vanish quietly at midnight. They tumble into a letter-pile physics simulation overnight. Drag the pile to send letters flying. Pick up what still matters. Let the rest go. — DAILY NOTES — Pull down on the note page to open a full-screen markdown editor with a floating toolbar. Bold headers, bullet lists, numbered lists, code blocks — your thoughts, formatted the way you mean them. — HISTORY — Every resolved task is saved by date. Browse by week, month, year, or all time. Filter by completed, shelved, or uncompleted. Search by task name. Export any day's work as a clean markdown file. — THE PHILOSOPHY — Jot. is built on one idea: your to-do list should expire every morning. Yesterday's priorities are not today's. A fresh start, every day. Do more. Think less. Just Jot.

ChimeSet is a flexible alarm clock, hourly chime, interval timer, and Pomodoro timer for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Create reusable alarm sets for daily routines or schedule a one-time Quick Alarm in seconds. Stay aware of time during focused work, breaks, classes, presentations, workouts, and everyday routines. ChimeSet can play a system sound, your own audio, or an installed voice while keeping the next alert visible in the app and around the system. QUICK ALARMS - Schedule a one-time alarm after a preset number of minutes or at a chosen time. - Customize two duration presets, two time-of-day presets, and the alarm sound. - Add a title to a Quick Alarm and have it spoken after the selected sound. - Start Quick Alarms from the app, Mac menu bar, iPhone or iPad widgets, App Shortcuts, or Command-1 through Command-6 on Mac. - Quick Alarms appear in Up Next and remove themselves after their scheduled time. REUSABLE ALARM SETS - Specific Time: create one or more alarms at exact times. - Every Hour: choose minute marks within a time range for hourly reminders and chimes. - From Now: build a repeating interval timer or a custom sequence of alarms. - Repeat every day, on weekdays, on weekends, or on selected days. - Exclude holidays and other all-day events using a selected calendar. - Start or stop an entire routine with one switch, or use the Space key on Mac.
