Capture context
Jot short notes when something happens. No structure required.
Your work leaves patterns —
even when tasks don't
Jotchain observes short work notes over time and surfaces quiet signals about interruptions, unplanned work, and invisible impact — without metrics or pressure.
Signals appear only after repetition.
The reality
Work feels busy — but hard to explain.
Interruptions, blockers, and unplanned help rarely show up in task tools. Weeks pass, effort adds up, and when it matters — reviews, retros, check-ins — it's hard to say where your time and energy actually went.

Jotchain observes reality.
Most tools focus on what you planned to do. Jotchain helps you notice what actually happened. It doesn't optimize or score your work — it quietly observes patterns in what you write.

Understand or ignore
When patterns emerge, you see a clear work-state readout. You can reflect — or not.
Quiet signals, not dashboards
Interruptions
Frequent context switching that breaks focus.
Unplanned help
Time spent unblocking others that never shows up anywhere.
Blockers & friction
Waiting, dependencies, and recurring slowdowns.
Signals appear only when there's enough evidence — never on day one.
What this gives you
Clarity, without extra work
- You see patterns, not just tasks
- Weekly updates become easier to write
- Conversations about work become concrete
These are outcomes of observability — not goals you have to chase.
When you need a summary
Your work, already written
Over time, Jotchain builds an understanding of how your work has unfolded. When it matters — performance reviews, retrospectives, or check-ins — you can generate a clear work summary based on real notes and observed patterns.
No templates to manage. No scores. No guesswork.

Questions
Is this task management?
No. Jotchain sits beside tools like Jira and Linear — it doesn't replace them.
Do I need to write every day?
No. A few notes per week is enough for patterns to emerge.
When do signals appear?
Only after repetition. Jotchain stays quiet until there's evidence.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Available on Pro.
