## What is Dotto?

Your year, one dot at a time.

Journaling doesn’t have to take 30 minutes.

Dotto is a simple visual journal that helps you capture each day in just a few moments. Every day of the year is represented by a single dot. Tap today’s dot, draw a tiny doodle, write a short note, choose your mood, and watch your year gradually fill with memories.

Whether it’s a coffee with a friend, a beautiful sunset, or an ordinary Tuesday, every dot tells part of your story.

Features
• A year at a glance — See all 365 days in one beautiful view, with each completed day becoming a tiny visual memory.
• Draw in seconds — Sketch a quick doodle with a simple hand-drawn canvas and custom colours.
• Capture the moment — Add a short journal entry without the pressure of writing pages.
• Track your mood — Record how your day felt with five simple moods.
• Gentle daily reminders — Receive thoughtful prompts that make it easier to reflect, even on busy days.
• Home Screen widget — See your recent dots without opening the app.
• Share your memories — Turn any entry into a beautifully designed card to save or send to friends.

Why Dotto?

Traditional journaling can feel intimidating. Blank pages become essays, and missing a day often means giving up altogether.

Dotto lowers the barrier. One tiny drawing. One short thought. One dot.

Before you know it, you’ll have a colourful year filled with moments you would have otherwise forgotten.
