Jot is a local-first inbox for Mac. Select text anywhere, double-tap Shift, and it is saved as a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose. It also does hold-to-talk dictation with on-device or your own models, screen annotations and quick notes, and can send a note to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. An MCP server lets your agents search and read your notes. No account, no sync. One-time license from $29 for one Mac, with a 3-day trial.

    Most capture tools want an account and their own database. Jot writes plain .md files to a folder, so your notes work with Obsidian, git, grep and your agents from day one. The double-Shift shortcut is the kind of detail that makes you actually use it.
