🔐

Data Sovereignty

Tasks are stored locally as human-readable Markdown files on your own device. Your data remains yours, forever.

🌊

Anti-Task-Flooding

Offers comprehensive filtering, views and power user tools to battle task overwhelm.

⚡

Built for Speed

An local SQLite-based index delivers instant drag-and-drop, filter, and search operations.

🖧

Git Sync

Projects can be synced with Git repositories, allowing for multi-device support or team sharing.

Markdown-Native Power

Your tasks are just plain text Markdown. Beautifully structured, infinitely extensible, and 100% yours.

The Best of Both Worlds

Jotter is not just a Kanban board that exports to Markdown — it is a direct visual interface for your Markdown files. Every drag-and-drop, label change, or column movement edits your files in real time.

Zero Proprietary Lock-in: Open and edit your files in Obsidian, VS Code, Logseq, or any basic text editor.
Standard GFM Checklists: Your subtasks map directly to standard checkbox items.
Frontmatter & Metadata: Due dates, priority levels, and custom tags are stored cleanly in the standard YAML header.
Comments & Content Preserved: Detailed descriptions, links, and nested notes are fully preserved.
