Recently, I have been looking for a replacement for the text editors that come with my phone and PC systems, and it seems like Tot
I've tried picking up Tot a few times in the past, and each time I stop using it after a week. I don't understand how it's useful. If you're using Tot, how are you using it?
If I want to capture notes that don't need to last forever, I use Scrap Paper or Raycast Notes. If something does need to last for a long time, I capture it in Notion or as a task in OmniFocus. Tot seems to occupy this middle ground where the information it captures is not meant to be permanent nor temporary held.
I’ve been a user of this product for a while now, but I feel incredibly stupid insofar as I can’t seem to figure out how to invoke some of these functions that are discussed. What am I missing exactly? How do I use the different kind of line breaks? How do I use an emoji as a checkbox? Is it all in markdown and that’s why I don’t see the functions?
Huge Tot fan. Use it on Mac. Should I be uninstalling my existing Tot app or can I keep that?
EDIT: nevermind, I see it's just an update via the App Store!
Wishing you a successful launch！Tot looks beautifully simple and elegant!
Do you have plans to add collaboration features in the future?
I love the idea. Have you considered adding collaborative editing or shared lists so Tot could be used for lightweight teamwork, or do you intend to keep it strictly as a personal notes tool?

Emojis as bullets — if only every text editor supported this obvious feature! 😅
