{"product_id":"jot","title":"jot","description":"\u003cp\u003ejot is a command-line daily journal for people who want to write a little every day without opening yet another app. You type \u003ccode\u003ejot\u003c\/code\u003e, your editor opens today's entry, you write what you want, you save and close. That's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind the scenes, every entry is a plain markdown file in \u003ccode\u003e~\/.jot\/YYYY\/MM\/\u003c\/code\u003e. You can back it up with \u003ccode\u003ecp\u003c\/code\u003e, sync it with Dropbox or Syncthing, version it with git, search it with \u003ccode\u003egrep\u003c\/code\u003e, or just leave it. Nothing about jot ties you to jot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommands\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cpre\u003e\u003ccode\u003ejot                       # opens today's entry in $EDITOR\njot yesterday             # opens yesterday's entry\njot 2026-05-22            # opens a specific day\njot list                  # recent entries\njot search \"the project\"  # find entries mentioning anything\njot today                 # pipe today's text to stdout\njot stats                 # writing streak + word counts\n\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/pre\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy we made it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotion is too much. Day One is too much. A text file in a folder is exactly the right amount. jot is the smallest thing that makes writing daily friction-free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vellumshore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43347090571353,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/3802\/7097\/files\/jot.png?v=1779608357","url":"https:\/\/uyykq7-pe.myshopify.com\/products\/jot","provider":"Vellumshore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
