More in your day.
Menu bar meets desktop.Notes meet next steps.Your Mac meets your way.
01 / THE IDEA
Your next step shouldn’t
need a search party.
That note you meant to revisit. The list hiding behind six windows. The deadline you’d like to keep an eye on.
Give each one a little space of its own. Open a card from your menu bar, or bring it onto your desktop. Keep the useful bits close, and get on with your day.
A place for the plan.
And everything
around it.
02 / GET A FEEL FOR ITSmall card.
Small card.
Big exhale.
Notes and next steps, together. Tick a few things off and try a different colour.
Go on. That first tick feels good.
A playful web preview. Your demo changes stay in this page and reset when you reload.
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN AN IDEA AND DONE

03 / AROUND THE WAY YOU WORKClose at hand.
Close at hand.
Out of your way.
One task. Its own space. A few different ways to keep it close.
In your menu bar.
Open a list with a click. Choose which tasks appear above your work, and show their icon, title, progress, percentage or time remaining.
On your desktop.
Move a card away from the menu bar and give it a place beside your work. Keep it above other apps when you need it in sight.
Entirely your kind of useful.
Choose colours, icons, a default font and size. Write rich-text notes or Markdown, add checklists and keep deadlines visible.

06 / GOOD TO KNOWA few little
A few little
details.
Simple tools.
Straight answers.
What do I need to run it?
JotStack is built for Mac and requires macOS 26 or later. The core task, notes and list features don’t require Apple Intelligence.
Where are my tasks stored?
Choose built-in storage or a folder of Markdown and text files. In folder mode, files stay editable in other apps and subfolders become lists. No JotStack account is required. JSON backups cover the current workspace; restore is available in built-in storage. Markdown ZIP export provides readable files organised by list.
Can I bring my existing notes?
Yes. Import .md or .txt files into a list, or choose a folder workspace to work directly with .md, .markdown and .txt files. External edits appear in your cards. Drag cards together into a group, then switch between them in the sidebar or pull one back onto the desktop.
How does the writing assistant work?
The optional assistant uses Apple’s on-device model to help rewrite selected text. You review the suggestion before inserting or replacing anything. It needs a compatible Mac, Apple Intelligence enabled, a supported language and the model available. macOS Dictation is available separately, subject to your system settings and permissions.
Can it remind me about deadlines?
Set a due date, display the time remaining and enable reminder notifications. Notifications depend on your macOS notification settings and permission.
When can I get it, and what will it cost?
JotStack is coming soon. The release date, price and download link haven’t been announced yet. This page will be updated when launch details are confirmed.
