Dotted vs Stoic

Dotted is a calm, private habit notebook. One small dot a day, paper-textured pages, and quiet progress — instead of charts, badges, and noise. Keep your habits in one place. Mark the day with a dot. Add a note. Log a mood. Then close the app. QUIET BY DEFAULT Soft terracotta and paper. No streaks shouting at you, no leaderboards, no accounts to create. Dotted does not collect your habits. ONE DOT A DAY Tap to mark the day. The grid fills slowly. The app never tells you to do more. DAILY TASKS A quiet to-do list lives next to today's dots. Add a small task, check it off, or carry it to tomorrow. You can also keep a shared task with the person in your Shared Ritual. PHOTO JOURNAL Every day gets its own journal page. Write freely or follow three gentle prompts, add up to 10 photos, and pick a mood. Search past entries and keep your favorite days close. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Dotted has no accounts and no servers we own. Your habits, dots, notes, and moods stay on your device and sync only through your own iCloud. REVIEW AT YOUR PACE Browse the week, the month, or the year. See gentle stats — no shame, no graphs that pretend to know you. SHARED RITUALS Keep one small ritual together with someone you trust — like a daily walk, a stretch, or a check-in. Both tap a dot for the day; the ritual stays in sync between you. No public feed, no followers. You can leave at any time. QUIET REMINDERS & QUIET HOURS One gentle nudge if you want one. Set quiet hours to silence reminders at night. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep today's dots one glance away. GENTLE WEEKLY, MONTHLY, AND YEARLY REVIEWS Three quiet rooms to look back: the past week, the past month, the past year. Streaks, gentle stats, and a paper-textured year calendar. SHARE CARDS A quiet way to share a small win — turn a streak or a finished month into a paper-textured card you can save or send. MADE WITH CARE Dotted is built and maintained by Teddy App Labs.

Motivation is a feeling. Feelings change. Every morning you decide again whether today counts. Stoic removes the decision. Your phone was built by people who are very good at their job. Their job is your attention. You will not win that fight with willpower, you win it with rules you set once and cannot renegotiate at 11pm. THE FOCUS ECONOMY Nothing is free. Focus banks credits, minute by minute. Credits are the only currency that unlocks a distracting app. Want ten minutes of scrolling? Earn it first. MONK MODE Days, not sessions. Commit to a stretch and the exits close behind you. THE MORNING GATE An alarm you cannot dismiss with your thumb. Solve it, say it out loud, or move. Then the day starts. HARDCORE Put real money on it. Oversleep and you lose it. Nothing concentrates the mind like a stake you actually feel. APP BLOCKING Screen Time, enforced. Not a reminder. Not a nudge. THE ROADMAP Your mission for the year and the person you refuse to become. written down, in front of you, daily. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR People looking for another dashboard. Stoic is not gentle and it does not negotiate. If you want to be reminded, use a reminder app. If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice. Beat the algorithm. Stoic+ subscription required App blocking, focus sessions, streaks and the leaderboard require a Stoic+ subscription (auto-renewing, yearly with a free trial, or weekly). The exact price is always shown in the app before purchase. Cancel anytime in Settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
