Jot - Floating Notes & Notepad Review
Jot is a user-friendly note-taking app that offers a convenient and quick way to jot down notes while using any other application. With its floating window feature, users can easily create notes without disrupting their current tasks. The notes are instantly saved in the Jot notepad app, so that users can access them whenever needed. The floating Jot can be accessed through custom tiles, home screen widgets, app shortcuts, or a dedicated launch bar in notifications, which can also launch up to six other applications.
As a comprehensive notepad, Jot enables users to manage notes efficiently using folders and highlight essential notes with different colors. It automatically saves all changes made to notes and lists. The app also supports customizations, such as choosing default note colors and swipe gestures for checklists. Phone numbers, web addresses, and email addresses are recognized and converted into active links for added convenience.
Selected notes can be pinned to the notification bar, making them easily accessible for review or editing. These pinned notes remain even after phone restarts, which should ensure important information is always at hand.
Jot includes a checklist mode in both the floating Jot and full-screen notepad application, which should allow users to create various lists like shopping lists or to-do lists. Users can reorder list items or mark tasks as done with simple gestures.
