Tot is an application that comes with an elegant, simple way to collect and edit text on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The tool seamlessly syncs your text across iOS and macOS using iCloud, so you can capture thoughts wherever you are. It offers full support for rich or plain text and can translate a text to Markdown for handy use on the web. Tot puts common text operations on the keyboard and keeps track of word and character counts as you type.
