Arun Brahma

I built Jot because I kept losing my best ideas in the four seconds it takes to open a notes app.

You know the moment. You're deep in something and a thought shows up: a fix you'll forget by lunch, a name you need to keep, the one good line for the email you've been avoiding. To save it you have to leave what you're doing, find the right app, and by the time you're back the thought is gone and so is your place. A dozen times a day, that's a lot of good ideas gone.

I'm Arun. I make small Mac apps on the side.

Honestly this one came out of pure frustration. I'd be mid-task and some tiny thought would show up, a bug to note, a line for an email I'd been avoiding, and to save it I had to stop, open a notes app, and lose my place. Most of the time I just didn't bother and figured I'd remember later. I never did.
