Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Parris, the founder of Jot. I built Jot because I wanted a place to think, reflect, and track progress without everything being online, tracked, or optimized for engagement. This update is about turning resolutions into something you can actually stick with: - countdowns & up-timers - customizable reminders with push notifications - the ability to jot reflections directly on a goal - and home screen widgets on both iOS and Android Everything stays true to Jot’s core: offline-first, encrypted, and fully private. I’d love feedback - especially from people who’ve bounced off habit apps because they felt too noisy or gamified. Thanks for checking it out 🙏

The commitment to an offline-first, anti-gamification philosophy is what makes Jot a sanctuary in a market of noisy habit apps. It's a product for a specific mindset, not just a feature set.

A key growth question: For users who value privacy enough to choose it over convenience, what's the primary channel to reach them? Is it through communities and content focused on digital minimalism/data sovereignty, or do they discover it almost by accident when searching for an "offline alternative" to mainstream apps?
