SlideJot

A tiny jot pad that's always within reach. For the things too small for a note but too important to lose.

Always within reach. Never in your way.

SlideJot sits at the edge of your screen like a small drawer. You pull it out, drop things in or take them out, then slide it back where it came from — same place every time, no surprises. It just feels right.

• Summoned in a heartbeat: Pull SlideJot out with a quick key combo from anywhere on your Mac.
• Sits on the side: It slides in as a slim side panel over your current window, never taking over the whole screen.
• Gone when you're done: Slide it back in and you're exactly where you were.
• Keyboard-first by design: Summon it, jot, and tuck it away — all without lifting your hands from the keys.

Designed for jots, not documents.

SlideJot is built for all the small, temporary things you don't quite know where to put — fleeting ideas, quotes, stray lines, snippets, links, drafts, ChatGPT prompts. It just gives you a blank space you can drop them into.

• No title by default: Just start typing into a blank page — no fields to slow you down.
• Plain text first: No formatting toolbar, no rich text toys — definitely not a Markdown editor.
• Text + images only: Write words, paste screenshots. That's it.
• Auto-save, always: Saved as you type — close the panel anytime, nothing is lost.

Little moments, quickly captured

A few of the quick, temporary, slightly messy bits that SlideJot can catch for you.

• When a line hits you: A line pops into your head out of nowhere — a tweet, a blog hook, a fleeting idea. Pull the drawer out, jot the sentence, slide it back in.
• When a UI wows you: See a beautiful interface or onboarding flow you want to learn from? Grab a quick screenshot, drop it into SlideJot with a quick jot.
• While coding: Drop in a code snippet, a shell command, or a log output you don't want to lose while you keep editing in your IDE.
• Reading on the web: Save a quote and its link from an article without creating a whole new note for it.
• In a meeting or call: Catch decisions, follow-ups, and one-liners without switching away from your call or slides.
• Talking to AI: Keep reusable ChatGPT prompts, variations, and ideas in one place so you can grab them the next time you open a chat.
