## What is DayDots?

Your Lock Screen doesn’t have to be just a background.

It can be a calendar, a reminder, a goal tracker, or a personal signature that belongs only to you.

DayDots is a DIY calendar Lock Screen wallpaper app. Start with ready-made templates and customize date colors, date styles, backgrounds, important date markers, and bottom signatures to create a Lock Screen that feels truly yours.

DayDots also works with iOS Shortcuts and Automations. Once set up, your calendar wallpaper can update automatically based on the date, so you no longer need to generate, save, and replace your wallpaper manually every day.

From yearly progress to monthly planning, from special dates to countdown goals, DayDots helps you turn your Lock Screen into something useful, beautiful, and personal.

【What can you do with DayDots?】

- Create your own calendar Lock Screen

Start with a template and make it your own.
Customize date colors, font styles, number styles, and even replace numbers with dots, shapes, or more visual design elements.

- Automatically update your Lock Screen wallpaper

The biggest problem with calendar wallpapers is that dates change every day.
DayDots can work with iOS Shortcuts and Automations, allowing your Lock Screen wallpaper to update automatically after setup.

No need to manually regenerate, save, and replace your wallpaper every day.

Open your phone and see the latest date state right on your Lock Screen.

- Mark important dates

Birthdays, anniversaries, exams, trips, paydays, project deadlines, workout check-ins, and more.
Mark the dates that matter and keep them visible on the screen you see every day.

- Change backgrounds and color themes

Whether you like minimal, fresh, retro, dark, bright, colorful, or trendy styles, DayDots makes it easy to create a look that matches your taste.

Choose from built-in theme colors or add your own background to make your calendar wallpaper fit your mood and style.

- Add a custom bottom signature

Write a sentence at the bottom of your Lock Screen.
It can be a goal, a motto, a mood note, or a simple reminder to yourself.

For example:
“Shine your own way”
“Make today count”
“One day closer to the goal”

【Four calendar templates for different needs】

Put the entire year on one Lock Screen wallpaper.
Perfect for tracking yearly progress, planning long-term goals, and seeing the flow of time.

Perfect for checking monthly progress, marking important dates, and keeping your schedule visible.

With richer color options and more expressive layouts, it is perfect for users who want a more aesthetic, trendy, and personalized Lock Screen.

- Countdown

Turn your goals into visual reminders.
Use it for exam countdowns, trip countdowns, anniversaries, special events, or a 100-day challenge.

Display your countdown with numbers, dots, or shapes, and let your goal remind you every day.
