Read full description

Year In Dots turns the whole year into a simple, beautiful grid right on your Home Screen. Every day is a single mark - the days that have already passed are filled in, the ones still ahead stay faint. One glance and you feel exactly where you are in the year. No numbers to read, no charts to decode. Just watch your year quietly fill in, day by day - a gentle reminder that time is moving and today counts. HOME-SCREEN WIDGET • Small - the current month • Medium - the current half-year • Large - the whole year at a glance The widget refreshes itself every day and always matches the style you choose in the app. MAKE IT YOURS • 6 color palettes - Midnight, Peach, Graphite and their inverted variants • 5 mark styles - hand-drawn bars, clean bars, dots, uniform dots, and squares • Looks great in both light and dark CALM BY DESIGN No accounts, no sign-ups, no clutter, no notifications begging for attention. Just your year, filling in. Also great as a "year in pixels" / life-calendar tracker, a countdown of the days left, or a quiet motivation to make each day count.
