TOT PROVIDES A QUICK AND EASY means of collecting your thoughts and storing them in easily accessible notes across your Mac and iOS devices. It differs from the default Notes app in that you can’t reel off a never-ending quantity of notes, all of the text you submit sits in one of seven colour-coded dots, the idea being that things are never allowed to get out of hand. Also unlike Notes, this app is accessible as a menu bar tool, so it is always launched and ready to catch whatever thoughts, lists, etc, that you need to expunge from your mind.
