Time is the one thing you can't get back. TimeDots turns your year, your month and every countdown into a calm grid of dots, one dot per day, so you can see exactly how much time is left. Every day a dot fills in. It's a quiet daily nudge to make today count. SEE YOUR TIME AT A GLANCE • Your whole year as dots, filling in as the days pass • Days left front and center: in the year, the month, or until your next event • Year by month: a calendar of dots that shows where each month starts and where today sits • Hold and drag across the dots to explore any day COUNT DOWN TO WHAT MATTERS • Trips, birthdays, exams, weddings, launches and deadlines • Every event gets its own grid with live progress • Recurring events roll forward automatically • A small celebration when a countdown reaches its day HOW WAS TODAY? • A 5‑second daily check‑in: pick one of five moods • Your dots take on the colors of your days, so your year becomes a mood map • Add a short note to any day you want to remember • An optional morning reminder with how many days are left • Hide the check‑in once you've answered, if you prefer a cleaner screen ON YOUR WRIST, LOCK SCREEN AND HOME SCREEN • Home Screen widgets in every size • Lock Screen widgets • Live Activities and Dynamic Island • A redesigned Apple Watch app: next event first, check in from your wrist, turn the Digital Crown to move through the days, and complications that show up in the Smart Stack when they matter MAKE IT YOURS • 24 themes, from Midnight to Aurora • Alternate app icons • "Life in Weeks": your whole life, one dot per week • Share cards made for your story • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch • Built for iPad, with full Dynamic Type, VoiceOver and Increase Contrast support Free to download. Upgrade to Pro to unlock every theme, widget and feature. Stop letting the days blur together. Make every dot count.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Essentials Beauty and Skincare at none against TimeDots's 1. Essentials Beauty and Skincare also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.3). TimeDots's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
