Fresh Jots

Programmable · Private · AI-ready

Everything you write.
Everything your code writes.
In one notebook.

Fresh Jots is a private, plain-text-friendly notes and log store you can read and write from your scripts, your terminal, and your AI tools. You're not trapped — you can download everything and leave at any time.

Demo: running the command freshjots append deploys "v2 ok" in a terminal instantly adds that line to the top of the "deploys" note in Fresh Jots.

How it works

  1. 1

    Create a free account

    No credit card, no trial clock. Sign up and you're in a working notebook in under a minute.

  2. 2

    Get a token — or connect your AI

    Start a 14-day API trial for the full Dev surface. Or add https://freshjots.com/mcp in Claude and it reads your notes over OAuth — free and read-only, with agent writes on the Personal plan ($24/yr).

  3. 3

    One curl per event

    CLI, REST API, webhooks in and out. Wire a script to a note in three lines:

    curl -fsSL https://freshjots.com/install.sh | sh
export FRESHJOTS_TOKEN=mn_your_token
freshjots append cron-jobs-prod "backup ok"

    Installs the CLI, sets your token, and appends a line — the note is created on the first write.

Who it's for

One note store — read it in the browser, on your phone, or straight from code.

  • 📡 Scripts, cron & CI

    Every script gets its own notebook — append-only notes plus an atomic append API. Your scripts write, you read: a tamper-resistant log you own. Transform any note into a webhook inbox, or into a dead man's switch that emails you when the writes stop.

  • 🤖 Your AI

    One-click MCP connect for Claude, Cursor, and other tools. Free to read and search; upgrade to let your agents write — session notes, research dumps, transcripts you can read on your phone.

  • ⌨️ Writing & life

    Write everything in a single place, reachable by all of your devices. REST API, webhooks, an ingest inbox, and official Bash, npm, Ruby, and Python clients — capture in one curl or one tap (see integrations).

What it looks like

The home page to the left, the open note on the right. That's the basic UI.

Fresh Jots dashboard — pinned notes, latest notes, folders An open note in Fresh Jots — plain-text editor with pinned-notes bar

Plain notes from cron, CI, webhooks. Rich notes for everything else. Same notebook, same search.

What's inside — and your data stays yours

  • Rich-text + plain notes

    Rich notes for writing, plain notes for streaming output. Search across both.

  • Autosave + version history

    Every edit persists as you type. Restore any earlier snapshot — the paragraph you cut last week is still there.

  • Export anything

    .txt, .docx, .pdf per note. Full archive as a single .zip from Options — even after you cancel.

  • Installs to your home screen

    One tap on iOS or Android. No app store, no updates, no native bloat.

  • No ads

    Not on the free plan, not anywhere.

  • No AI training

    We don't read your notes, and our Terms forbid training models on them or selling them to anyone who would.
