• Nice, but genuinely curious vs a Raycast snippet: is local JSON + full-text search over history the real selling point? Because for quick capture Raycast already nails that.

• Jot's only wedge is being a standalone $4.99 one-time tool that logs every capture as timestamped JSON you own, with no launcher or subscription in the loop.

• This is cool! One question: is the format documented anywhere, or a stable enough schema that someone could write, for example, a script that pulls last week's jots into a review? Having an implied contract that the format won't change as opposed to a JSON that just happens to be inspectable today would be more compelling I feel.

• Fair distinction, and today it's the latter: a plain JSON array of {id, text, createdAt} that's inspectable but not yet a promised contract.
