Capture a thought without leaving your work. Keep it visible at the edge, choose a calm visual style, and trust local-first storage.
JotRail is a calm, local-first notes app for Mac that keeps a thought close without taking over your workspace.
CAPTURE IN A SECOND
• Capture from the edge, a keyboard shortcut, the Library, Share, Services, or Shortcuts.
• Return to a readable note with Quick Switcher instead of losing your place.
• Every note is saved locally first, so capture and export remain useful offline.
KEEP THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PRESENCE
• Keep a few notes visible as a compact Rail.
• Use Bubbles for compact, softly moving signals; hover one to open only that note while the others stay closed.
• Switch to Beacon when one quiet control is enough.
• Snap readable cards to a display edge with Side dock.
• Keep the global edge quiet with Library only, or detach the same note into a Floating Sticky.
WRITE WITH YOUR OWN RHYTHM
• Open a focused Edge Editor and start typing immediately.
• Write paragraphs, headings, lists, quotes, code, links, checklists, and attachments.
• Choose 6 note-card treatments: Paper, Risograph, Editorial, Glass, Nocturne, or Minimal.
• Start with 5 curated quick themes and 6 coordinated palettes, then use a cycle or one consistent color for new notes.
• Tune per-note presence opacity and editor reading zoom.
• Choose System, Serif, Monospaced, or Handwritten editor typography.
• Set Compact, Standard, or Airy line spacing for comfortable reading.
FIND, FINISH, AND RECOVER
• Search active and archived notes locally as you type, or use Quick Switcher to jump straight back to a note.
• Organize with Inbox, Active, Pinned, Scheduled, Archive, Trash, Recovery, and collections.
• Complete a note with a clear Undo path and optional Reminders or Share follow-up.
• Keep conflict revisions and failed imports recoverable in Recovery Center.
PRIVATE, DURABLE, PORTABLE
• SQLite storage, revision history, and a durable sync outbox keep local work safe.
• Optional private iCloud sync clearly shows queued, sent, fetched, paused, and recoverable states.
• Locked notes use authenticated encryption and stay out of search and diagnostics.
• Export readable Markdown, text, RTF, PDF, single-note, and JotRail archive files.
• Share to Apple Notes through supported system handoffs; JotRail never accesses Apple Notes private databases.
• No advertising or third-party analytics SDK.
JotRail includes a 14-day Pro. Notes remain readable and exportable after the trial. Pro unlocks unlimited active notes, iCloud sync, all presence modes and displays, advanced placement, custom palettes, and native handoffs.
