Dots gather into your life. dotdot is a diary that shows time as dots. Write a line and the dot for that moment takes the color you chose. The days behind you stay as dots that carry meaning. ■ Easy to write Tap + and write — that's it. If you pick nothing else, it's saved for right now. Date, time, all day and color open only when you need them. ■ Look back in dots Today is one dot per hour. This week, this month and this year are one dot per day. Life is one dot per month or week. When a dot holds several entries, it's divided like a clock face, in the order they happened. Swipe up to read that day's, week's or month's entries. ■ Plans ahead Write for a time that hasn't come yet and it becomes a plan: a small point under an empty dot that fills in by itself when the time arrives. ■ Books, movies, travel Keep the books you read, the movies you watched and the places you went, with a star rating. Trips abroad turn their dot into the country's flag, and Moments gathers them like a bookshelf. ■ Widgets and lock screen Home and Lock Screen widgets update themselves on the hour and at midnight. With Shortcuts, get a fresh lock screen wallpaper every day. Everything is drawn on your iPhone — no servers. ■ dotdot Pro (one-time purchase) All eleven colors plus any color you pick, stickers for your moments, and nine backgrounds.
