I can just add these snippets to existing Tot documents. I love this design because I don’t have to create a new file every time I just want to write a quick grocery list-or, in my organized moments-I don’t have to hunt down a specific file in an app like iA Writer I made for that purpose alone. This is iA Writer, but I’ve included this shot so you can see how those throwaway documents start to pile up alongside my serious drafts. You have to click on the dots representing each document on the Mac, but the interface looks exactly the same and the automatic syncing takes a couple of seconds at most. This is especially satisfying on the iPhone, as a little haptic tap accompanies each swipe. Most notetaking apps let you create an unlimited amount of documents, but Tot only lets you choose between seven different sheets within the same interface. This is most apparent in the way it handles documents. I described Tot as a “purposely limited” above, and remarkably, it’s appealing because of those limits rather than in spite of them. Tot solves his problem so well that’s it’s already become an integral part of my workflow, even though I’ve only had it for around a week. Whenever enough of these pile up in other apps, I have to set aside a few minutes of every week or month to delete the old ones, and I’ve always hated that. Tot give those little snippets of text a home of their own, and largely does a good job of it. Frequent users (myself included) of notetaking apps tend to deal with links, snippets of text, and copied passages by just jotting them down in new documents littered between an app’s serious “notes,” which, in my case, often include lengthy drafts in iA Writer and Ulysses.
