Tot 4+

The app you need (but don't know you need)

I rarely leave reviews, but this little app deserves praise. I ran into this by mistake, downloaded it and forgot about it. I opened it the other day just to see what it was about and haven't closed it since. I had no idea I even needed this, but it is unbelievably handy!
I am a researcher and writer, and I have numerous writing apps for organizing and writing. I didn't know what I really needed was a quick note-taking app for snippets and passages that can function as both a holding pen for stuff that needs permanent filing and a quick-file for stuff I need at my fingertips.
Aside from the infinite uses for this app, the aesthetics and functionality are on point. I appreciate the time the developer put into this app. It works flawlessly and is carefully designed to be customizable but not overly so.
This is one of those apps you can't work without once you have it. It really should be a part of the mac ios.
Thank you for a great app!

Incredibly useful and has nice features

Let me start off by saying that I'm a student with a bunch of research projects. These projects require me to take notes, and this app is beautifully designed and so useful for doing that! The 7 dots (or notepads) that you get are all color-coded, and they're awesome since I can use one for each class, and at the end of the day, I can just erase them and write something else the next day. The app also has a ton of cute (but useful!) little features, like a dot going gray when nothing is written in it, and the app icon changing to the color dot that you're on. The app also makes use of the touch bar, so if you have one, then changing your color text, bolding, italicizing, etc. becomes very convinient. Using my notes app and filling it up with all my research notes can become annoying, so I love using Tot instead!

elegantly crafted gadget

I love apps like this because they don't promise anything they can't do, and they do everything they promise. They don't add stress to your relationship with your computer; they make it more delightful. Apps like this, it's like a tiny little brain massage, a healthy microdose of dopamine, every time you open them up.

I have one 'tot' per day of the week. When some random passing thought occurs, I grab it and stick it in the day's tot, so that I don't have to obsess about where it goes or what it means or what i'm eventually going to do with it, if anything. It's just an instantaneous word-satisfaction device. Then every now and then, as I'm skimming through the days in a free moment, I find a fragment and it now makes sense where it should go or what I should do with it. So then I do that thing, and can delete it out of Tot. It's like a little hatchery for useful idea-trout.

Would buy again! :)
