The pitch (copy-paste)

One-liner Jot is the fastest way to capture a thought on your Mac: press ⌥Space anywhere, type, and it's saved to a searchable local log.

Short (tweet-length) Jot: capture any thought on your Mac in one keystroke. ⌥Space → type → saved. On-device, no account, permission-free. $5 once, no subscription. macOS 14+.

Long (paragraph) Jot is a menu-bar app for macOS that removes every step between having a thought and saving it. Press ⌥Space from any app and a focused capture panel appears instantly; type, hit ⌘↵, and your note lands in a searchable local log you can export to Markdown. Everything stays on your Mac; captures are stored in a plain JSON file, with no account, no cloud, and no telemetry. Jot requests no system permissions (no Accessibility, microphone, or screen-recording prompts), so it works the moment you launch it. It's a native, universal Swift app, notarized by Apple and distributed directly. One price, $5, paid once, with no subscription and no upsell.

Screenshots coming: add app stills (the capture panel, the menu-bar log, search, Markdown export) to assets/images/ and link them here; reviewers ask for these most.
