Clipfile, Jottle, Prexy, Notch & Deets

Five small apps I built for my own work as a reporter, for Mac, iPhone and iPad (Jottle and Deets also run on Apple Watch). On the Mac each one is a panel you call up over whatever app you're in with Option and a letter. Clipfile (⌥L) is a read-later list that saves the whole article from Safari, so it can be read offline. Jottle (⌥J) is a notepad for a quick thought. Prexy (⌥P) tracks every story from pitch to filed on one board, and mirrors each note to plain Markdown files on disk. Notch (⌥T) is a keyboard-first client for Apple Reminders. Deets (⌥C) finds a contact by name from your Apple Contacts.

I made them because switching apps was where things got lost: a link I never saved, a thought I didn't write down, a call I meant to return. Each app does one thing, and on the Mac you type, press Return and you're back where you were.
