Select text, tap Shift twice, it's a markdown file
Jot is a capture inbox for macOS. Select anything, tap Shift twice, and it becomes a markdown file in a folder you own. Hold fn to dictate into any app. Ctrl+Opt+A grabs a region of the screen to mark up. Jot 2.0 is rewritten in Rust, off Electron: 675 MB down to 43 MB on Apple silicon. No account, no sync. Speech runs on your Mac with 59 local models. A CLI and an MCP server let Claude Code, Codex and Cursor read, search and tag your notes. One-time license.
Jot 2.0 is a macOS productivity tool that allows users to capture text and convert it into markdown files with a simple keyboard shortcut. It features local speech recognition, a command-line interface, and a significantly reduced file size, all without requiring an account or sync.
Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.
Gaps in our data, not findings about the product. Their weight is redistributed across the 5 we did measure.
A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
