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.
Daily Identity Alignment
Read full descriptionHide full description
Daily Alignment is not a to-do list, kanban board, journal, or habit tracker. It does one thing: it reminds you who you are becoming and what you are building. The app is inspired by two familiar approaches to self-change: repeatedly reviewing clear goals, as discussed in Masanori Kanda's work, and identity-based habits from James Clear's Atomic Habits. Write down your identity, a present-tense affirmation, and your next clear goal. Daily Alignment brings those words back through reminders, text-to-speech, looped reading, and simple tactile feedback. Your real tasks, systems, and actions still live in your existing tools. Daily Alignment simply makes your identity and goal visible again.
