Extension summary

Jotter is a keyboard-activated* scratchpad. It lets you take notes while you're thinking. I find app-switching distracting. I made this to record thoughts in the moment, and process and commit them to a heavier-duty notes app afterwards.

It's useful for:

  • Doing research across 5 different tabs.
  • Taking minutes on video calls
  • Reading industry reports and papers
  • Copying important parts of how-to's (like, getting HTTPS set up for your domain)

Some useful features:

  • A quick-copy shortcut to paste highlighted text directly in your editor. Works with pdfs too.
  • Each note keeps a bibliography so you can refer to your sources later.
  • You can tag, stash, and retrieve notes.
  • It integrates with Google Drive and Notion, so you can export your notes after you're done.
