Jot vs Chit

Jot is a fast, private place to capture ideas before they slip away. Built for founders, developers, and anyone whose mind moves quickly, Jot opens straight to a blank note. No account. No sign-up. No cloud. Every note stays on your device. CAPTURE IN ONE TAP Open the app and start typing. Quick note mode saves instantly, so an idea never waits on a folder. ORGANIZE WITHOUT FRICTION Sort notes into six categories: Idea, Task, Code, Journal, Meeting, and Research. Add tags. Pin what matters. Archive the rest. FIND ANYTHING FAST Search across titles, bodies, and tags. Filter by category. Browse by tag. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Jot stores everything locally with Apple's on-device storage. No tracking, no analytics, no ads, no servers. Your notes are yours. BRING YOUR NOTES WITH YOU Paste text, import .txt and Markdown files, or share text into Jot from other apps. Minimal, black and white, and built to stay out of your way.

Chit puts a note on your Home Screen as a widget. Write a grocery list, a to-do list, or a quick reminder. Tap a circle on the widget to check it off. No need to open the app. Add as many widgets as you like and pick a different note for each. Text sizes itself to fit every widget size. Pick from gradient or solid colors. Completely private. No account. No tracking. No data collected. Your notes stay on your device.
