What is Jottar?
Jottar is a simple online notepad and notebook for quickly jotting down notes, thoughts, and to-dos. It was launched in 2015 by developer Simon Vansintjan.
The key features of Jottar include:
- Minimalist interface - Plain text notes with basic formatting like headings, bold, italic, links etc. Allows distraction-free writing.
- Infinite nesting - Notes can be nested infinitely, allowing users to structure notes in an outline hierarchy. Parent notes behave like notebooks or sections.
- Tagging - Notes can be tagged for easier searching and filtering. Tags also act as parent notes.
- Web clipper extension - Users can save webpages and selections from any site as notes.
- Syncs across devices - Notes are saved in real-time to Jottar servers so users can access them from any device.
Jottar competes with apps like Notion, Evernote, Simplenote etc. but targets a niche that wants a simple, clutter-free dumping ground for random notes and thoughts. Users looking for advanced or power user features may want to look at more feature-rich options.
