I’m walking down the street when I have this great idea. So I whip out my trusty cell phone, speed dial #6, and a woman’s voice answers right away:

Woman: Who do you want to Jott?

Me: Me.

Woman: Jott what you think. (BEEP!)

Me: Let the folks in ideaXchange know about Jott.

Woman: Got it.

Next time I check my email, I get a transcribed email with my “Jott” - and a link to the audio version should the transcription be a little off (but it’s usually really good).

Jott-logoEnter the incredibly useful, and FREE, service call Jott. The days of stressing over remembering something to do when I’m away from my computer are gone. All I need is my cell phone, and I can quickly and soooo easily capture those ideas right away, and then stop stressing about remembering them later. Since I use my computer and email for all my to-do lists, reminders, etc. - this is a better, and faster, way of recording short notes than lugging around a laptop, PDA, or even a notebook. All my “Jotts” arrive in my email, and I can then process them accordingly. Accidentally deleted a Jott? They’re archived on the website, and I also get a Daily Jott journal with a list of all my Jotts for the day.

This can also be used as a collaborative tool. You can setup other contacts, and when asked “Who do you want to Jott?” you can Jott Mom or Jethro or whoever else has been setup in the system (though I’ve just been jotting myself - sometimes numerous times a day).

Folks, I can’t tell you how awesome this is - especially with life being as hectic as it is (running a growing biz, planning a wedding, honeymoon, meetings, stuff to buy at the store, design/writing ideas, etc.). And if you’re a GTD person, this is especially perfect.

So when you’re out and about and need to note something - Jott it down, and then stop worrying about it.

Whoa. Sounds cool. Thanks, Matt. How can this possibly be free?

Jott is currently (but not for long) in public beta, and from my understanding, all things going through beta are free for the public to test. Jott’s next step is releasing their business model, which they will for sure charge for. BUT, fortunately they are keeping the free version up! Thank god….

And I second the “awesomeness” of Jott haha. Killer app!
