Jot

A simple markdown editor for Mac, Windows and Linux.

I wanted a clean place to write that renders markdown as I type, without a sidebar full of features I’d never use. So Jot is just the page.

Features

  • Live markdown rendering
  • Runs on macOS, Windows and Linux
  • A few fonts and themes
  • Text scaling and zoom
  • Keyboard shortcuts for everything

How it’s built

It’s a Tauri app, so it’s small and native, with a Rust backend and a React frontend. The editor is built on Milkdown. You can grab a build from the releases page.
