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. Start today.
