Jotty (jotty·page) is a self-hosted web application for managing personal notes and checklists, storing everything as Markdown and JSON files without a database. It offers a rich WYSIWYG editor, Kanban task boards, sharing, PGP note encryption, user management, REST API, and OIDC single sign-on.

Use cases

• self-host a simple notes and checklists app
• manage personal task lists with kanban boards
• store notes as plain markdown files without a database
• share checklists with family or teammates via links
• encrypt private notes with PGP
• replace complex note apps with a lightweight homelab tool
• integrate notes with OIDC single sign-on

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, database-free self-hosted notes/checklists app
• you prefer file-based storage you can back up and edit directly
• you run a homelab and deploy via Docker
• you need multi-user support with SSO and sharing

When to avoid

• you need heavy-duty project management with Gantt charts or reporting
• you require a full knowledge base with backlinks and graph views
• you need offline-first sync across devices
• you want a hosted service without self-hosting
