Patterns turns your screen into something you made. CREATE YOUR STYLE Every wallpaper here starts as a recipe, not a download. Pick a generative style, tune it until it feels right, and the app renders the result on your device at full resolution. Change one value and you get something new. Nothing is fetched from a server, and no two people end up with quite the same screen. BEAUTIFUL PATTERNS Forty generative styles, organized into four families: Gradients - mesh gradients, aurora, nebula, sunset, neon and deep AMOLED black Textures - marble, watercolor, ink, smoke, clouds, fabric, carbon fiber, glass and ice Geometric - low poly, polygon, wireframe, circuit board, minimal forms and clean shapes Particles - starfields, rain, bubbles, drifting light and flowing liquid Search the catalog by name or filter by family to find a direction fast. MAKE IT YOURS Open any style in the editor and it becomes adjustable. Sliders for scale, density, complexity, symmetry, rotation, depth, glow, blur, contrast and more update the preview as you move them. Replace the palette with your own colors using the system color picker, or reset to the original in a tap. Feeling exploratory? Randomize the seed and let the engine surprise you, then keep the version you like. DESIGNED FOR WALLPAPERS Render in HD, QHD or 4K, in portrait for iPhone and iPad or landscape for Mac. On iPhone and iPad your wallpaper saves straight to Photos, with a short guide to finishing in Settings. On Mac, Set as Desktop applies it across every display at once. SAVE, FAVORITE & SHARE Favorite the designs worth keeping and they collect in your Library. A running history holds your recent work so nothing good gets lost. Export a PNG, or send a creation through the share sheet to wherever you want it. WHY PATTERNS It runs entirely on your device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no ads.

You’ve lived more than you think. Now see it. The places you went. The books you read. The runs you finished. The people you met. The things you learned. The days you showed up. The moments that mattered only to you. They happened. Dopli gives them a place to exist. Drop one whenever something becomes part of your life. No scores. No streaks. No need to decide whether it was big enough to count. If it mattered to you, it counts. One drop becomes ten. Ten become a hundred. And slowly, something appears: Your life. Not measured by someone else’s goals. Not reduced to productivity. Not judged by how perfectly you lived it. Just the things you actually did, experienced, felt, and cared about — taking shape in front of you. YOUR LIFE, MADE VISIBLE. • Create your own Traces • Drop a moment with one tap • Give each Trace its own color and symbol • See when every moment happened • Watch months and years take shape in Journey • See your drops come alive with playful physics • Choose a companion to share the journey • Keep everything in sync with iCloud • No account required Some lives look extraordinary from the outside. Yours should look extraordinary to you.
