Faisal Maricar (ID: 000000671dc1d0db) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/26/2019 I couldnt see my to-do tasks when I use Chrome in another laptop or desktop. Isn't there anyway to sync across devices?

Thibaut Vial (ID: 000000d79668e417) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/08/2019 If this app supported cloud sync (Jot across devices), it'd be perfect. It's got bugs here and there but it's top of its class.
