Dotie turns your everyday photos into cute die-cut stickers — and brings them to life on your home screen. Snap or import a photo and Dotie cuts out the subject right on your device, turning it into a sticker-style card. Your moments then rotate across beautiful home-screen widgets, so a little piece of your life is always with you. Make your home screen yours: - Die-cut stickers from any photo, processed locally on your device - Home-screen widgets that shuffle through your captures - A rich set of decorative backdrops to set the mood - A see-through “transparent” widget look that blends into your wallpaper - Sticker boards to show off a hand-picked set - A map that pins your stickers to the places you’ve been - A calendar that gathers your moments by day, week, and month - One-tap sharing of your sticker cards - Everything that matters works offline, no account required: capture, sticker cutout, save, widgets, map, and sharing. Dotie Pro unlocks more: every backdrop, custom colors and fonts, more widgets and refresh styles, batch import and export, and high-resolution exports. Optional AI (off by default) can suggest a title, a note, or a weekly/monthly recap when you turn it on — but it’s never required to capture, display, or share. Dotie Pro Subscription Dotie Pro is available as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription, with a one-time lifetime purchase also offered. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
