## What is StepDots?

StepDots helps you turn an ambitious wish into actions you can actually begin. Write anything you want to pursue, from learning to cook in three months or making your own film to running for president, reaching the Moon, or becoming a real-life hero for a day. The app builds a staged route with near-term entry points, long-term milestones, preparation notes, and completion criteria.

When a step feels too hard, break it down again. You can tell StepDots what is getting in the way: not enough time, too much information, fear of making a mistake, or no clear starting point. The app then turns that obstacle into smaller actions with an estimated time, materials to prepare, a simple order of operations, and a concrete definition of done.

After you check in, StepDots reviews whether your action helped the current wish and records the change in progress. Weekly recommendations provide fresh, playful ideas with ready-made routes in each supported language, while language-aware routes can point you to public books, courses, institutions, and websites that match your goal. When a goal involves eligibility, an application, or official requirements, the route aims to include direct public links and useful key points instead of sending you on a vague search.

StepDots is for students, creators, career changers, founders, and anyone who wants to move forward without feeling buried by a large goal. It does not promise an outcome or make decisions for you. It helps you see the next step, keep the effort light, and continue at your own pace.

The app reads like a handbook: your wish, progress and stages are sticky notes on grid paper, and the growth stickers can be arranged however you like; the app remembers your layout. Under every small step there is a Log it note: write a line or take a photo, save it to the Logbook and leaf through what you have done along the way. Those entries also shape the next steps, so the route follows what you actually did.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-22

Faster start: write your wish the moment the app opens, or tap “See an example” — which now really opens one. Home opens on today’s step. After your first finished step, a wrap-up note lets you stop for today or carry on. Stickers drag only after a short press, so scrolling no longer moves them. Three featured route styles, more under “More styles”. Clearer notice before building. Stability fixes.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-13

Route generation is faster and more reliable, and long wishes no longer fail halfway. Source checking is back and links to official pages you can open directly. Fixed deadline and language false alarms in non-Chinese routes. Anonymous usage stats are more complete and can be turned off in About at any time.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-11

A brand-new handbook look: grid paper, torn sticky notes and draggable growth stickers. A step-by-step first-run tour shows where to tap. Log every small step with a line or a photo and browse them all in the Logbook. After finishing a step the page returns to the top so the next one is right there. Generated stages and small steps now stick to one set of tools and methods and adapt to what you have recorded. New About and Feedback sections. Free at launch, no ads, no in-app purchases.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-09

No release notes.
