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. SlideJot for Mac — a slide-out jot panel that lives at the edge of your screen — is available separately and syncs with the iOS app through iCloud. Stay draft. Stay messy. Keep the line worth keeping.

About

Abox Mark · Micro Journal

Features
Read full description

Abox Mark is a private micro journal for daily moments, passing thoughts, and moods. No long-form writing and no streaks to maintain. Capture what just happened, a thought that crossed your mind, or how you feel right now. It takes only seconds, then a press and hold seals it as a mark of your own. Time remembers you. So your future self can meet who you are now. [Capture it in one line] Record a small part of your day, a passing thought, a mood, or any moment you don’t want to forget. Each entry is limited to 200 characters: enough for a short journal entry and quick enough to catch an idea before it disappears. Add a mood or place when you want more context. [Mood is optional] Calm, Happy, Inspired, Tired, Down, Missing, Looking forward. Choose one of seven states, or skip it entirely. It is not a psychology quiz—just a simple way to name the moment. [Hold to seal, keep it real] Press and hold the fingerprint button for about a second and a half. When the ring closes, the entry is sealed. Sealed marks can’t be edited. It is not about restriction; it means that when you return later, you meet the moment as it really was. [A timeline for your moments] Marks appear newest first. Use the month index to jump through time and revisit the days, thoughts, and memories you left behind. [Quiet reflection, no streak pressure] In “A Glance at Time,” see how many marks you have left and how long your recorded story has become. There is no streak to protect and no daily goal to complete. Open it whenever there is something worth keeping. [Private, on your device] • No account, no sign-in • No cloud sync, no social • Marks stay on this device only No sharing. No likes. No comments. Your micro journal belongs to you alone. Leave the moment. Seal it. Meet it again someday.
