I kept losing ideas in the four seconds it takes to open a notes app, so I built Jot

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.
