Dots vs FocusCard

You met Sam at the conference. She mentioned her daughter just started at the same college you attended. You meant to follow up with Sam in a month but never did. You didn't forget because you don't care. You forgot because memory doesn't scale the way relationships do. Dots is the memory for your relationships, both personal and professional. You add a dot when you learn something worth remembering. Dots surfaces it when it matters. What a dot looks like: Marcus collects Japanese whisky. Sarah went through a tough move last year. Priya prefers warm intros, and she likes knowing someone before the meeting. Small details. The difference between a generic check-in and a conversation that lands. What Dots does - Remembers the details you'd otherwise lose - Surfaces the right moment to reach out - Keeps follow-ups specific, never generic - Works for the people you love and the people you work with What Dots isn't A CRM. A pipeline tool. Dots doesn't score your relationships or remind you to "engage." It just helps you show up the way you already intend to. A dot is a detail, not a person. Add enough of them, and you'll never forget what matters.

FocusCard is the app blocker you plan like a calendar. Instead of starting a timer every time you want to focus, you lay your blocks on a 24-hour grid once — and the day defends itself. Drag a block onto the hour you want protected. Stretch it to the length you need. Choose which apps and which websites stay outside it. From then on those apps shield themselves the second the block begins, and come back the second it ends. THE TIME GRID • A real 24-hour day view, not a list of toggles • Drag to place a card, drag its edge to resize it • Overlapping cards sit side by side in lanes, so a long work block and a short meeting block both stay readable • A live line follows the current time, so you always see what is guarding you right now • Pinch to zoom out to the week, the month, the year, or a five-year map of your habits 15 READY-MADE PRESETS No blank page. Tap a preset and it lands on the grid already timed, already repeating, already pointed at the right apps: • Deep Work — Morning Deep Work, Afternoon Sprint, Meeting Block • Study — Study Session, Exam Lockdown, Reading Hour • Family — Dinner Table, Kids Time • Evening — Evening Wind Down, Gym • Sleep — Lights Out, No Phone In Bed • Detox — Social Media Diet, News Detox, Weekend Reset THREE WAYS TO BLOCK • Soft — a shield you can pass when you genuinely mean it • Hard — no bypass while the block is running • Daily Limit — a budget instead of a ban: sessions per day, minutes per session, and a cooldown between them APP GROUPS YOU SET UP ONCE Sort your distractions into Social, Video, Games, Messaging, News and Shopping. Every preset and every new card pulls from those groups, so you never hunt through the picker twice. REPEATS THAT MATCH REAL LIFE Daily, weekdays, weekends, weekly, biweekly, monthly, every 3 or 6 months, yearly — or just one time. Build the week you want to live in and let it run. PAUSE WITHOUT LOSING IT Drag a card to the side rail when today genuinely needs to be different. It waits there instead of disappearing, and you can drop it back on the grid whenever you want. SEE THE WORK ADD UP Every block you hold becomes a completed session: levels, streaks and a focus score that rewards consistency. A journal keeps the moments you chose to stop and think instead of scroll. PRIVATE BY DESIGN FocusCard runs on Apple Screen Time (Family Controls).
