Dotted
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dotted is a calm, private habit notebook. One small dot a day, paper-textured pages, and quiet progress β 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 β no shame, no graphs that pretend to know you. SHARED RITUALS Keep one small ritual together with someone you trust β 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 β 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. No advertising. We use product analytics and crash diagnostics to improve Dotted. βββ Dotted is free to download: three habits, the photo journal, mood and tasks are free. Optional Dotted Pro unlocks unlimited habits, reviews, share cards and more as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Small steps become visible progress with PixelHabit. Build routines, track daily goals, and watch every completed action light up a colorful pixel grid. One tap today becomes a pattern tomorrowβand a year of progress you can actually see. SEE CONSISTENCY TAKE SHAPE PixelHabit turns habit tracking into a visual record. Each check-in fills another pixel, helping you notice momentum instead of relying on motivation alone. Your home dashboard keeps every routine and its recent activity in one clear view. TRACK HABITS YOUR WAY Create the routines that matter to you: reading, workouts, hydration, study, mindfulness, creative practice, sleep routines, or anything else you want to repeat. Add a short note or target, choose a color, and pick from a library of pixel icons. Need to complete something more than once? Set a daily target and log each step until the goal is complete. UNDERSTAND YOUR PROGRESS Go beyond a simple checkmark with statistics that make progress easy to read: β’ Current streak and best streak β’ Total check-ins and completion rate β’ Weekly activity charts β’ Per-habit progress breakdowns β’ Monthly calendar history β’ A full 365-day pixel overview LOOK BACK WITHOUT LOSING CONTEXT Open any habit to review its calendar, see completed days, and understand how today fits into the bigger picture. Check in for today or revisit a previous date when you need to correct your history. KEEP PROGRESS CLOSE Add a PixelHabit widget to your Home Screen and choose the habit you want to keep visible. Small, medium, and large widget layouts help your progress stay top of mind without adding clutter. Optional daily reminders give you a gentle nudge at the time you choose. MAKE IT YOURS β’ Custom habit names and notes β’ Multiple daily targets β’ Colorful pixel palettes β’ A wide selection of pixel icons β’ Light, dark, or system appearance β’ Fast one-tap check-ins PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Your habit history is stored on your device, and you can export a JSON backup whenever you want to keep your own copy. HOW PIXELHABIT WORKS 1. Create a habit and choose its color, icon, and daily target. 2. Check in whenever you complete the action. 3. Watch your grid, streaks, calendar, and yearly record grow. You do not need a perfect streak to make progress. You only need the next visible pixel. Download PixelHabit and turn small daily actions into a record you can see.
