Jot is that random piece of notes paper that lives in your Mac Menu Bar. It's also open source.

Hey Rainer! This is exactly what I was looking for. I used similar note clipper from Evernote until they killed it. Bought it and felt immediate relief when I found this app. Thank you so much! Just my 2 cents. I think it would be great if it closes when you click outside the window :)

Hey Oleg, thanks for kind words! I've actually found it useful that it does not close when clicking out the window (for example I'm using it for notes reference during zoom calls with a window that's always on top). But use cases differ, thanks for the input!
that's interesting. Didn't think about it this way. Different user behaviors. Any chances settings can appear for this case? So two camps are married with theirs personalization? Thanks!

Hah, to be honest I don't have much time to put into MacOS development recently. However, Jot is open source at so can easily be extended tho
Ok. Let us delivery/commit new version with this settings :) If liked/approved - will you be able to pack new dmg file for further purchase?

Hey guys! I made Jot as a personal challenge to build and ship an open source project in 24h, while in lockdown 😬 😄. I came up with Jot - it is the simplest notes app that lives in the Mac menu bar. I found myself needing a place for short lived storage for notes, ideas, things-to-tweet, clearing out formatting from clipboard that I could quickly access. Although it's a bit of a sin to create any kind of notes app nowadays 😄 I couldn't find something that is that simple. There's really nothing to configure, it saves as you type. It's also useful for keeping a floating window for referencing info while switching between windows and tasks. So there you go, world has another notes app. Hope you like it!
This is a fantastic idea! I'm always needing something quick and easy to hold temporary notes. This is good!
is it just the one page? What's the difference between this and stickies?
I think this is exactly what I need. Thank you.
Great, minimalist product!
If Jot and roamresearch.com can combine, then I will buy
Do notes include contextual meta info?
The only question I have is if you have a video showing it in action.
Yo this is great! I saw in the screenshot it was $5 but now it's $1. How do I pay you the full $5? :)

Hah no worries, I dropped it to 99c (gonna put it to App Store at some point for same $)
