Notes should be as quick as thinking.
Most note apps have grown into workspaces: databases, templates, sidebars inside sidebars. They're powerful, and they're slow to open when all you want is to write something down before it's gone.
Jottera goes the other way. It's a notepad. It opens in a small window, straight onto a blank page, with the cursor already blinking.
What it adds is everything a notepad was missing. Your notes are on every device you sign in on, they keep working offline, and edits from different devices merge on their own.
We're keeping it small on purpose: folders, tags, search and Markdown, and nothing that gets between you and the page.

What you can do with Jottera
Features1.0Open it and start typing
Jottera opens straight onto a blank note with the cursor ready. There's nothing to name, file or click first. Empty notes are never saved, so nothing piles up.
“Press ⌘⌥J on a Mac, or Ctrl+Alt+J on Windows, to bring Jottera up on a fresh note from any app. Press it again to hide it.”

⌘⌥JShow Jottera from anywhere
Find any note in a keystroke
Search every title and every word with ⌘K. Narrow it with #tag or in:folder. Search runs on your device, so it's instant and works offline.
“No match? Press ⌘↵ to start a new note with what you typed.”

Organise without the admin
New notes land in your Inbox. Move them into folders like Work and School, with subfolders when you need them, and tag them as you write with #hashtags. Tags collect themselves in the sidebar.
“Drag a note onto a folder in the sidebar to move it, or press ⌘⇧M. A folder’s progress circle includes its subfolders.”

Format as you write, keep it as Markdown
Select text to make it bold, add a heading, a checklist, a link or a highlight. Typing # or - [ ] works too, and the symbols disappear as you go. Every note is still saved as plain Markdown.
“Select a line and press ⌘⌥T (or choose Convert to todo from the toolbar). It's added to the folder you're in, and your note stays as it was.”

How Jottera works
Platform2.0On your device
Every note is saved locally first
Notes are written to your device as you type, so Jottera opens instantly and keeps working on a train, a plane or patchy school Wi-Fi.
Automatic merging
Edits from different devices combine
Change the same note on your laptop and your phone, even offline. Jottera merges both sets of edits character by character. No conflict copies.
Sync
On every device you sign in on
Sign in once with an email code, Google or Microsoft. Your notes follow you to the desktop app, any browser and your phone.
Your data
Export everything, any time
Download all your notes as Markdown files in a single zip, with their folders and images. Your notes are never locked in.

Add Jottera to your Home Screen or install it from Chrome or Edge. It opens in its own window.
Sign in once per device
Stay signed in for a year on each device. Sign out of everything else from Settings.
