About Jot — Screen Recorder
Jot — Screen Recorder
Record anything. Lose nothing.
Every other screen recorder is built around the happy path.
Jot is built around what happens when things go wrong.
──────────────────────────────────────
WHY JOT IS DIFFERENT
──────────────────────────────────────
✓ Never lose a recording
Your recording is automatically saved to your device every
10 seconds as you record. If something goes wrong — browser
crash, extension reload, anything — your footage is safe.
Always.
✓ Audio verified before you start
Jot checks your microphone before every single recording.
You'll never finish a 30-minute session only to discover
the audio was silent the whole time.
✓ MP4 that plays everywhere
No WebM files nobody can open. Jot converts your recording
to H.264 MP4 — the format that plays in QuickTime, VLC,
Chrome, Windows Media Player, iOS, Android. Everywhere.
✓ 100% local. Your recordings never leave your device.
Everything happens on your computer. No uploads, no cloud,
no servers. We technically cannot see your recordings
because we never receive them.
✓ No account required
Install and record. Nothing else.

HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────────────────────
1. Click the Jot icon in your toolbar
2. Toggle your microphone on if you want your voice recorded
3. Click Start Recording and choose your tab or window
4. Record as long as you need
5. Click Stop — Jot converts to MP4 and you download it
That's it.

WHAT JOT PROTECTS YOU FROM
──────────────────────────────────────
→ Truncated recordings that cut off after a few minutes
→ Silent recordings where audio never captured
→ WebM output files that won't play on most devices
→ Lost recordings when you accidentally close a tab
→ Out of memory crashes on long recordings
→ Export failures with no way to recover your footage

PRIVACY
──────────────────────────────────────
Your recordings never leave your computer. All processing
happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. We have
no servers involved in recording, processing, or storage.
We cannot see, access, or share your recordings — because
we technically never receive them.
No network requests occur during recording or processing.
