Dots is a visual countdown for the moments that actually matter—launches, trips, exams, weddings, and quiet personal goals. Each event becomes a temporal heatmap: time isn’t just a number; it’s a canvas you can feel at a glance. CREATE & ORGANIZE • Name your countdowns, pick an emoji, and choose a target date. • See what’s active, urgent, or still far away—without digging through menus. THE TEMPORAL HEATMAP • Read progress the way your brain does: patterns, density, and remaining time—beautifully compressed into “dots” you can scan in seconds. CURATED THEMES • Match the mood: celebration, focus, travel, calm nights, and more—so every countdown feels intentional, not generic. STAY CLOSE TO YOUR GOALS • Optional reminders help you check in on what you’re counting down to—so big days don’t sneak up on you. FREE TO START • Use up to three countdowns on the free plan and explore the core experience.
