Why JodNote? ​

Modern note-taking apps are bloated with features you don't need. JodNote focuses on what matters:

  • Instant capture - Global hotkey brings up the app immediately
  • Stay focused - No distractions, just you and your notes
  • Own your data - Everything stored locally, no vendor lock-in
  • Keyboard speed - Mouse slows you down, keyboard keeps you flowing

System Requirements ​

  • Windows 11
  • No additional dependencies
