Jot is a simple menubar scratchpad for MacOS. It's a place to quickly jot down notes and todos that you don't want to keep around forever. It's not a replacement for a full-featured note-taking app, but it's great for quickly jotting down a phone number, idea, or anything in your head you don't want to forget.
Jot only has a single note, forcing you to avoid clutter. This is intentional. It's meant to be a place to quickly jot down a note and then clear it out when you're done. If you want to keep a note around, you can copy it to your clipboard and paste it into a note-taking app.
That being said, Jot will automatically save your changes so you don't lose your note if you quit the app or restart your computer.

Alas Apple makes me pay a yearly fee to export signed apps and so I can not provide you with a nice little DMG. If you want to use Jot you'll have to download the code and compile it yourself (if anyone knows a way around this please let me know and I'll provide a release!).
Exporting the project as an archive and then moving the JotApp.app file to my applications directory did the trick for me.
Jot uses DebouncedOnChange.
