Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about JotDown's visual task management, thought organization features, and productivity tools.

How does JotDown help organize scattered thoughts?

JotDown provides a visual workspace where you can quickly capture thoughts using digital sticky notes, then organize them through drag-and-drop into different workspaces and hierarchies. This brain dump approach reduces cognitive load and helps transform mental clutter into organized, actionable tasks.

Is JotDown suitable for ADHD task management?

Yes, JotDown is specifically designed with neurodivergent minds in mind. The visual, interactive approach works well for ADHD brains that struggle with traditional text-heavy to-do lists. Features like drag-and-drop organization, visual hierarchies, and flexible categorization support executive function challenges common in ADHD.

How is JotDown different from other task management apps?

Unlike traditional task managers that start with lists, JotDown begins with a thought capture board - like digital sticky notes on a canvas. You can brain dump everything first, then organize later. This visual workspace approach is more natural for how our minds actually work, especially for visual thinkers.

Can I use JotDown on multiple devices?

Yes, JotDown offers cross-platform productivity with seamless sync across web, mobile, and desktop devices. Your organized thoughts and tasks are always available wherever you need them, ensuring consistent access to your visual workspace.

Does JotDown work offline?

The web app requires an internet connection, but we're developing offline capabilities for the mobile app. This will allow you to capture thoughts and organize tasks even without connectivity, with automatic sync when you're back online.

How does the 3D tag cloud feature work?

The 3D tag cloud visualizes your older thoughts and completed tasks in an interactive 3D space. This unique feature helps you rediscover forgotten ideas and see connections between past thoughts, making it easier to revive relevant projects or find inspiration from your thought history.

Is JotDown free to use?

Yes, JotDown offers a free tier that includes core thought organization features, basic workspaces, and the visual drag-and-drop interface. Premium features like advanced recurring tasks, unlimited workspaces, and priority support are available in paid plans.

How does JotDown reduce anxiety about forgetting tasks?

By providing a trusted external system for all your thoughts and tasks, JotDown eliminates the mental burden of trying to remember everything. The visual organization and deadline tracking features ensure nothing falls through the cracks, giving you peace of mind and mental clarity.

Can I migrate from other task management tools?

Yes, we provide migration guides for popular tools like Todoist, Notion, and Trello. While each tool has its own structure, JotDown's flexible visual workspace can accommodate different organizational styles, making the transition smooth for most users.

Does JotDown integrate with other productivity tools?

Currently, JotDown focuses on being a comprehensive standalone solution for thought organization and task management. We're planning integrations with popular calendar apps, note-taking tools, and project management platforms based on user feedback and demand.

How secure is my data in JotDown?

We take data security seriously with end-to-end encryption, secure cloud storage, and regular security audits. Your thoughts and tasks are private and protected. We never share personal data with third parties and comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.

What makes JotDown's visual workspace unique?

JotDown combines the freedom of a digital whiteboard with the structure of task management. Unlike rigid list-based tools, our visual workspace lets you organize thoughts spatially, create natural hierarchies through drag-and-drop, and see relationships between different areas of your life - all while maintaining the ability to convert thoughts into actionable tasks.
