Dotty turns your day into a single, beautiful line. Schedule tasks and habits at a time of day and watch them connect into a vertical timeline you can actually move through. Plan your morning routine, block focus time, build habits, and keep your streaks alive — all from one calm, focused screen. KEY FEATURES • Timeline, not a list — tasks render as a connected-dot timeline through your day • Subtasks — break a task into steps, nest them as deep as you think, and tick them off one by one • Fresh every day — a repeating task's checklist resets on each occurrence, so your routine starts clean • Habits & streaks — repeat daily, on weekdays, weekends, weekly, or on exactly the days you choose • Daily progress ring — see how much of your day you've completed at a glance • Reminders — local notifications so nothing slips • Home-screen widget — check off tasks without opening the app • Live Activities & Dynamic Island — live countdowns for timed tasks in progress • iCloud sync — your timeline stays in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Make it yours — 25 colors and 91 icons grouped by subject, plus Light, Dark, and Glass appearances COMPLETELY FREE Every feature above is included. No paid tier, no subscription, no ads, no task limits, nothing held back. If Dotty earns a place in your day, you can leave an optional tip from the heart button in the toolbar. Tips are one-time, entirely voluntary, and unlock nothing — they simply fund what comes next. PRIVACY Your data stays on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud. Dotty collects nothing.
