Overview

What it is

Tot is an elegant, simple way to collect & edit text across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It’s your tiny text companion!

Intent

I need it when

Format text quickly with keyboard shortcuts and markdown support

Tot includes a killer keyboard with common text operations, word/character counters, and full markdown support. Users can bold, italicize, create checklists with customizable smart bullets, and use Tab/Shift-Tab for indentation—all optimized for fast typing workflows.

Keep notes safe with automatic backups and reliable syncing

Tot automatically backs up text regularly and syncs seamlessly via iCloud across all Apple devices. Users never lose work and can trust their notes are protected and accessible from any device in their ecosystem.

Capture quick thoughts and text snippets without friction across devices

Tot provides a minimal, distraction-free interface with seven color-coded dots for organizing notes. iCloud sync automatically keeps text synchronized across Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, enabling users to capture ideas wherever they are and access them instantly on any device.

Integrate note-taking into existing iOS and macOS automation workflows

Tot supports Shortcuts actions that allow users to store and retrieve text programmatically, enabling integration with custom automation workflows on iOS and macOS. This makes Tot a powerful scratchpad for complex automation scenarios.

Maintain organized daily or project-specific scratchpads with visual separation

Tot's seven customizable color-coded dots act as separate notepads, allowing users to dedicate each dot to a specific purpose (class, project, day) without complex folder hierarchies. The single-window design keeps everything visible and accessible with a single swipe or click.
