Draw a shape, and the app opens instantly. No more hunting through home screen pages. Open the drawing canvas from anywhere: AssistiveTouch, the Action Button, Back Tap, Control Center, or the Lock Screen. Works with about 270 popular apps and your own shortcuts. Available in English and Korean. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a gesture: pick an app or shortcut, then draw an easy-to-remember shape three times. 2. Open the canvas: use AssistiveTouch, the Action Button, or the GESTO control in Control Center or on the Lock Screen. 3. Draw: draw your saved shape and the app opens right away. OPEN FROM ANYWHERE โข AssistiveTouch: tap the floating on-screen button once. โข Action Button: press and hold to open the canvas. โข Back Tap: double- or triple-tap the back of your iPhone. โข Control Center and Lock Screen: add the "Gesto Canvas" control. โข Shortcuts and Siri: "Open GESTO canvas" The in-app "Open from Anywhere" guide shows only the methods your iPhone supports, recommended ones first. OPENS WHAT YOU USE โข About 270 popular apps for messaging, video, maps, shopping, finance, food delivery, AI, and more โข Run your own shortcuts from the Shortcuts app by name. Apps that aren't in the list can be connected with an "Open App" shortcut. โข Multi-stroke shapes are recognized, and GESTO warns you when a new gesture looks too similar to an existing one. MAKE IT YOURS โข Adjust stroke width, stroke style, smoothing, and how long GESTO waits after you lift your finger. โข Supports Dark Mode and larger text sizes. Contact: hebbianai@gmail.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GESTO at none against DODI's 2. DODI's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
