What is a JOT file?

JOT files mostly belong to JotNot.

JOT files are container files that can hold different kinds of data, depending on the software used. They are not a single, uniform format but are used for various purposes.
Some common uses are:

  • JotNot digital notebook files: These files use a ZIP structure to bundle images and notebook pages. For details, visit JotNot.
  • Jotter notes: Simple note files often linked with Kingsoft Writer documents.
  • Survey settings files: Used by Trimble Business Center to store survey settings. More information is available at Trimble.
  • Compound note files: These are built on the Microsoft Compound file format and are seen as Jarte notes or Palm OS Jot Memo Files.
  • SQLite database files: These store data such as Kingsoft Spreadsheets information in an SQL-based format. For more technical details, check out SQLite.

FilExt.com tip: If you have a JOT file, its origin will determine the correct application needed to open it. A quick look at its properties or a simple text editor may reveal hints to its internal structure.

How to open a JOT file

You need a suitable software like JotNot to open a JOT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your JOT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a JOT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
