select. shift shift.shift shift. it's a jot.

yes. jot is a macos app for intel and apple silicon macs with macos 12 or newer. apple speech needs macos 26 or later. apple intelligence cleanup needs apple silicon and macos 26. parakeet works on both, slower on intel.

select text and press shift shift. images in the selection come too, and so does a screenshot already on the clipboard. quick note is ⌃⌥N, without opening the window. hold fn to dictate into the app in front. ⌃⌥V speaks a jot. ⌃⌥A annotates a region. ⌃⌥D draws a page into the inbox.

yes. settings remaps them. clear a chord and it stays off.

yes. right-click a jot, then send to. claude code, codex, cursor, and t3 code open a new chat with the jot in the message box. nothing is sent until you press send. antigravity, windsurf, vs code, zed, and kiro have no link for a new chat, so jot copies the prompt and opens the app. only apps on this mac are listed. ⌘⇧S sends to the app you used last.

yes. jot works fully for 3 days from the first time you open it. then it asks for a license. buy one, then paste the key in settings, then license.

a 1-mac license is active on one mac. settings, then license, then deactivate frees that seat so the next mac can take it. a 3-mac license can be active on three macs at once, and a 10-mac license on ten. deactivate frees one seat. every tier has the same features.

every jot is a markdown file at ~/Documents/Jot/, named YYYY-MM-DD-id.md. a mac you update keeps the folder it already uses. no account. no sync. analytics stay off unless you turn them on.

only what that feature needs.

• accessibility. jot captures a selection, and pastes dictated text into the app in front.
• input monitoring. the fn hold works while another app is in front.
• microphone. jot hears you dictate.
• screen recording. optional. jot captures the screen when you annotate, and macos asks the first time.

yes. settings, then voice & ai. pick who transcribes and who cleans up: openai, anthropic, google gemini, groq, mistral, openrouter, deepgram, elevenlabs, azure openai, aws bedrock, cloudflare workers ai, xai, and more. vercel ai gateway or any openai-compatible server works too. each key is stored in the macos keychain. if a cloud step fails, jot falls back to parakeet and apple intelligence (apple silicon, macos 26+).

jot checks dl.sayjot.xyz for updates. parakeet downloads its speech model from hugging face once. apple speech can download a language pack from apple. on-device choices stay on the machine: parakeet, apple speech, apple intelligence, ollama, and lm studio. if you pick a cloud provider, jot sends the audio to transcribe, or the text to clean up, to that provider, or through vercel ai gateway if that is your pick. opening a model list can fetch it from the provider. each key stays in the macos keychain, not in the settings file. analytics stay off unless you turn them on.

yes. they are plain files, so an agent can read the folder. the jot command line tool ships inside jot.app and works while the window is closed. settings can link it into /usr/local/bin. jot mcp runs an mcp server, so claude code, codex, cursor, and t3 code can list, search, read, add, finish, archive, and tag jots. it has no delete tool.

no. one payment, then nothing renews. 1 mac is $9 at launch and $29 after. 3 macs are $24, then $87. 10 macs are $69, then $290. the features match. 7-day refund, no questions asked.

the tier you buy. 1, 3, or 10 macs can be activated at the same time. it is not a shared sign-in. each mac activates with the key.

the lower price is the launch price for the first 50. the crossed-out number is the regular price. for the 1 mac license, FIRST50 is applied at checkout.

the key is in the checkout email, and on the thank-you page. if you still cannot find it, write to support@sayjot.xyz.

7 days, no questions asked. email support@sayjot.xyz and a person reads it.

yes. buy the bigger plan, then email support@sayjot.xyz within 30 days with both order ids. we refund what you paid for the smaller one.
