KJots has been retired for almost a year, all bugs for it are being closed. Quoting the public announcement https://kontact.kde.org/blog/2024/2024-07-01-kde-pim-may-june-2024/#retiring-kjots-and-knotes We have decided to retire the KJots and KNotes applications. These applications have not seen any support or development in many years and are not in a state that we feel comfortable shipping to our users. With the introduction of Marknote, KDE can now offer a modern, well-maintained note-taking application that we can recommend users to migrate to. The latest release of Marknote has gained support for importing notes from KJots and KNotes, so no notes will be lost.
