I built a one-keystroke thought catcher for Mac because I kept losing ideas

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.

So I built Jot. Option+Space pops a little box over whatever you're in, you type, hit Command+Return, and it's gone again. Whatever you wrote drops into a plain text file on your Mac you can search later. It stays local, no account, and it doesn't throw permission prompts at you when you open it. Costs $4.99, once.

Mostly posting because I'm curious how other people here deal with this, and whether a flat one-time price still makes sense for a tiny tool or if folks now expect a free tier. Link if you want to poke at it: https://jot.arunbrahma.com
