The app interface is in Russian. If you don't read Russian, this one isn't for you yet. dot. is external structure for a head that holds too much: studies, work, a side project, health. Say what's on your mind — out loud or in text — and it becomes tasks with dates. Anything created can be undone with one tap. dot. notices before you do: when a task has slipped three times, it says so and asks whether you still need it. It names the fact and leaves the decision to you. A ten-minute conversation produces your own set of rules, drawn from how you actually work — not advice from a book. Your week adapts to you, not the other way around. And progress counts how quickly you come back after a break, not how long you went without one. Not a habit tracker. External structure for your mind.
