Jot • Sticky Note Widgets 4+

No better Sticky Notes App

I downloaded like 5 of the top sticky notes apps trying to find the one that worked best for what I needed (I just wanted stick notes type widgets as a to-do list). Every other app was insanely clunky and inefficient. They didn’t even have an undo button when drawing! 🤦🏾‍♂️ Jot has everything I was looking for and more. Plenty of color choices and super easy to use. Very glad I found it.

Best one I’ve found so far out of like 10 apps

Once you set up the widget and select the note it displays,

All you have to do is click the note widget and it pulls up the note ready to edit and draw/write your note. You don’t have to do the extra click to select to edit the note once the app opens up like most of these apps do. It also updates the widget note display as well after you save and exit the app. One app was ALMOST on par with jot but the display of the note did not update with changes on the widget.

The only reason I’m giving 3 stares is because the widget is too small to read what I write. They only have the smallest (app) size, and the next size above that one. They don’t have the extra large widget size, which would be useful.

App now has all widget sizes and you can change the font size. 5⭐️!?

Nice app, but would like to see a tweak or two….

Does everything it is supposed to. Very useful. What bothers me is you can only use text or handwriting, not both(alternating back and forth)on the same note. When I type and want to add something with Apple Pencil and switch modes the typing disappears and vice versa. It will return when I go back to the original mode. If there is a setting I am not aware of that allows both modes to alternate, please put it in a tutorial. Also could you add a clear button to the typing mode as well. Thanks!

You can now draw and type of the same note!!
