Fresh Jots

Fresh Jots is an AI notebook and script monitoring tool that stores sessions, logs, and agent notes.

Fresh Jots is a notebook designed for AI sessions, scripts, and agents. It gives every script and agent its own tamper-evident note that is hashed, timestamped, and anchored daily to Bitcoin. Users can connect Claude, Cursor, and other tools over MCP to read and write notes, or send logs via REST API, webhooks, and official clients for Bash, npm, Ruby, and Python. It is built for developers, writers, students, and freelancers who want to keep track of AI coding sessions, cron jobs, and CI scripts. Features include encrypted notes, autosave, version history, and dead man's switch alerts that email you when scripts go quiet.
