Dotty vs Einfall

Dotty turns your day into a single, beautiful line. Schedule tasks and habits at a time of day and watch them connect into a vertical timeline you can actually move through. Plan your morning routine, block focus time, build habits, and keep your streaks alive — all from one calm, focused screen. KEY FEATURES • Timeline, not a list — tasks render as a connected-dot timeline through your day • Subtasks — break a task into steps, nest them as deep as you think, and tick them off one by one • Fresh every day — a repeating task's checklist resets on each occurrence, so your routine starts clean • Habits & streaks — repeat daily, on weekdays, weekends, weekly, or on exactly the days you choose • Daily progress ring — see how much of your day you've completed at a glance • Reminders — local notifications so nothing slips • Home-screen widget — check off tasks without opening the app • Live Activities & Dynamic Island — live countdowns for timed tasks in progress • iCloud sync — your timeline stays in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Make it yours — 25 colors and 91 icons grouped by subject, plus Light, Dark, and Glass appearances COMPLETELY FREE Every feature above is included. No paid tier, no subscription, no ads, no task limits, nothing held back. If Dotty earns a place in your day, you can leave an optional tip from the heart button in the toolbar. Tips are one-time, entirely voluntary, and unlock nothing — they simply fund what comes next. PRIVACY Your data stays on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud. Dotty collects nothing.

Einfall is a place for fugitive thoughts. The thought arrives while you are busy with something else — in a queue, on a walk, halfway through a meeting. Einfall is the fastest place to put it, and a place you can trust to keep it. Get it out of your head in a second. Deal with it later. Or never. One-time purchase. No subscription. Capture wherever you are Whichever device is nearest your hand, and never more than one gesture: • The Mac menu bar, summoned by a keyboard shortcut from any app • Home-screen and lock-screen widgets • Control Centre, on iPhone, iPad and Mac • The share sheet, for a link or a passage of text • The Services menu on Mac, for selected text in any app • Shortcuts, Siri, Spotlight and the Action Button • Your voice, transcribed on your device as you speak None of them make you look at your stream first. Capture is free and unlimited, forever. One calm stream Everything you capture lands in a single flat list, newest first. No folders, no notebooks, no unread counts, no reminders that you are behind. Plain text you can read, edit and search. Tags if you want them, nothing to tend if you do not. A long stream is not a backlog — it is a notebook you trust. Do something with a thought, when you are ready Open the stream, pick a thought and fire an action: • Send it out — to Reminders, Calendar, Mail, Messages, Files, the share sheet or a Shortcut • Change it in place — tidy the phrasing with Apple Intelligence on your device, turn prose into a list, change the case, stamp the time it was caught, copy it • Fold it into another thought, so related notes gather in one place A thought that gets routed leaves the stream. A thought you no longer need is deleted, without ceremony. Both are good endings. Your own AI agent, if you use one Einfall carries an optional local server on Mac — off until you turn it on — so your own AI agent can read and work on your stream on your behalf. Whatever you can do in the app, your agent can do too. Nothing it writes changes a thought until you accept it. Private because there is nowhere else to be No account. No sign-in. No infrastructure of ours between you and your thoughts. Your stream syncs across your own devices through iCloud, and nowhere else. Dictation and Apple Intelligence run on your device. Einfall's App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected, because none is. You can lock the stream behind Face ID or Touch ID, export the whole thing as one plain-text file whenever you like, and keep automatic backups in a folder you choose. Free to capture. Pay once to unlock everything you can do with your thoughts. Capturing is free and unlimited, forever. Reading and searching your stream is always free. So are the in-place actions — copy, listify, change case and timestamps. The routing layer — sending a thought out to another app, folding one thought into another, and Apple Intelligence — gives you fifteen free fires. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks it for good, on every device you own, and for your household through Family Sharing. No subscription. Nothing to renew. Nothing expires. Your own thoughts are never held behind a lapsing fee. Einfall is the German word for an idea that falls into your mind unprompted. This is the place to put those thoughts before they are gone. Mac, iPhone and iPad. Requires macOS 26, iOS 26 or iPadOS 26.
