Show HN: JotChain – Get more out of your daily work notes

https://jotchain.com
3•morozred•8h ago
Hey HN,

I've been working in fast-paced startups for 10 years now, and I've noticed it's really hard to keep up with all the stuff I do. Sometimes it's tough to recall everything by the end of the week (EOW), and it's annoying when you have to show it off in a meeting or during a performance review.

I tried taking notes on paper, in Notion, Obsidian, Markdown files, and whatnot, but they all either got lost or I simply forgot to keep up with them.

That's why I decided to take action and build this small tool: JotChain. It lets you jot down quick notes throughout the day, then uses AI to turn them into polished summaries delivered via scheduled email notifications whenever you want them (e.g., right before your stand-up or weekly sync).

Here's how it works in a nutshell:

- Log wins, blockers, and context in a simple plain-text field (takes ~2 minutes, hit Cmd/Ctrl + Enter to save with optional tags).

- Set your cadence: daily, weekly, monthly, or custom, with timezone, lookback window, and lead time.

- Get AI-generated emails: Structured briefs with sections, key stats, and highlights (e.g., "Completed auth refactor, fixed 5 bugs, reviewed 12 PRs. Blocker: Database performance").

It turned out to be quite helpful for me, and I'm planning to introduce more features gradually to make building the habit even easier.

Free 14-day trial, no card needed. Plans start at $6/month or $36/year. Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think—what would make it better for your workflow?

Just use Notion, Obsidian, Markdown files, Logseq, or OneNote!

If you can not get into habit then it won't work for you. The main problem it solved for me is that I get summaries whenever I need and it's just there, I don't have to scroll through it all the time.

But if other solution works better for you then it's great!
