Your notes are stored in your browser on your device. MonoJot does not provide server-side note storage.
MonoJot exists for people who want to write first, organise second, and keep their notes portable without creating another account.
MonoJot is intentionally small in spirit: a fast writing surface, a useful library, optional context panels, and a backup path you can understand.
Your notes are stored in your browser on your device. MonoJot does not provide server-side note storage.
The app opens directly. There is no registration step before you can write a sentence.
JSON backups and TXT exports keep your library moveable, readable, and recoverable.
Formatting remains legible as plain text. The tool should never trap your writing in an opaque format.
Weather, reminders, calendar, Map, and Insights support specific workflows and can stay out of view otherwise.
Screen Lock is for casual shared-device privacy. It is not encryption or secure vault storage.
MonoJot started as a simple place to write without being managed by the software itself. The goal was not to create another productivity command center. The goal was a writing surface that opens fast, autosaves locally, and leaves the structure of your thinking intact.
As the app grew, the additions followed the same rule: help when called, disappear when not needed. Smart Typing handles simple calculations and conversions inside the note. [[Note links]] and backlinks create relationships. The Map panel shows those relationships. Backup and export keep the system honest.
MonoJot is designed and built as an independent project. The product direction is simple: calm software, honest privacy boundaries, no artificial lock-in, and no feature that makes writing harder.
