Jots

Say you are halfway through a gnarly bug and want to write down what you tried before you forget it.

Jots is a journaling app for developers that gives you a place to do exactly that, and the same notes can later feed a pull request description or a promotion write-up.

It is an AI notes generator and productivity tool built around engineering work rather than general note taking.

Jots keeps learnings and ideas in one central place, which is why it calls itself a second brain for developers.

It also includes AI for rubber duck debugging, so you can talk a problem through and get a response back.

You can track progress, reflect on what you shipped, and pull evidence together for job interviews or performance reviews.

Jots is open source and free for early adopters and beta users.

Since it is aimed squarely at developers, people who want a general-purpose notebook may find it narrow.
