What is Jot by espresso?

Jot by espresso is a productivity app for writing, sketching, annotating, and sharing ideas on screen. It is designed for people who want a fast digital notepad for feedback, visual communication, and quick idea capture during everyday work. On Mac, it can be used for blank notes, freehand sketches, screenshot markup, and writing over the current screen with an overlay-style workspace. Common uses include commenting on presentations, marking up documents, sharing visual feedback with teammates, and sketching thoughts during meetings or lessons. Jot is also positioned to work alongside apps such as presentation and note tools, making it useful for collaborative workflows and creative review.

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

Jot is a legitimate note and screen-markup app. Access to input, screen content, or connected display features can be normal for its purpose, especially when you use it to draw over apps, capture screenshots, or work with pen and touch features. If you use it for meetings, documents, or presentations, remember that anything visible on screen could be included in your notes or markups. Keep it only if you use these workflows, and review sharing actions before sending annotated screenshots or sketches to others.

Recommendation: Keep Jot if you use your Mac for sketching ideas, annotating documents, or giving visual feedback on screen. If you no longer use espresso display workflows or screen markup features, you can remove the app without affecting macOS, though you may lose saved notes, templates, or app-specific settings.
