■ Vidot A vlog and video journal app for keeping short videos — just for yourself. It's not a social network, and it's not an editing app. No posing, no polishing. Every video you capture is automatically tagged with its date and time and lined up on your timeline. One tap turns them into a single vlog. That's "your own vlog." With Collections, you can group moments by theme — a trip, your kids growing up — and look back from any angle you like. ■ All you do Press the shutter and capture the moment. ■ Features ・Casually collect small pieces of your day, without overthinking it ・Add the time and a caption to your videos — choose the font, text size, and shadow strength ・Look back day by day with smooth, seamless playback ・Collections: group clips by theme and play them back to back, with search and pinning ・See the days you recorded at a glance in the calendar's month and year views, and play a whole month back to back ・Switch the timeline layout and sort order to suit you ・Export vlogs with the time and captions included ・Gentle reminder notifications to help you capture ・A quiet, minimal design that lets your videos stand out (dark by default, with light mode) ・Available in English, Japanese, and Korean ■ Privacy first, local first No account, no sign-in. Your videos and captions are never sent to any server — everything stays on your iPhone. Your clips are included in your device backup (iCloud), so they're safe when you switch phones. ■ Vidot Premium (optional) Keep your favorite moments, more freely. ・Unlimited clips per day (the free plan allows up to 8 per day) ・Add from Library: add past photos and videos from your photo library at any date and time you like ・Edit Date & Time: change the date and time of clips you've already recorded Choose a monthly plan or a one-time purchase. Vidot is fully enjoyable for free, too. Today's moment becomes your year. Why not start with today's "dot"? 【Terms of Use (EULA)】 https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
