Dot Days: Focus, Goals & Time

Dot Days is a live wallpaper that turns your year, your goals and your life into dots. The dots fill in by themselves as time passes, so you see your progress every time you unlock your phone.

Most goal apps fail because you have to remember to open them. Life gets busy and you forget. Dot Days lives on your home screen, so you stay focused without opening an app.

My Year: year progress in 365 dots
Your year in dots, one dot per day, so you see the year go by. The days passed are filled, the days remaining stay empty, and today is highlighted. No setup needed. Show it as one dot grid, month by month, or as a 12-month calendar wallpaper: a dot calendar for the year at a glance. Add goals with a target date, like your New Year's resolutions, and watch the days until each one count down. Ten ready-made looks include ones for family, health, learning, saving and travel.

Project: a goal countdown for any date
Pick 10 to 500 dots and make each one a minute, an hour, a day, a week or a month, as a grid or in rings. It's a countdown wallpaper that shows the days left. Eight are ready in one tap: an exam countdown with a revision plan, a wedding countdown, a trip countdown, a quit smoking counter, a product launch countdown, a fitness goal tracker with a 5K training plan, a return home countdown and a birthday countdown. It also works for a 100 day challenge, a project deadline, a baby's due date or a sobriety counter.

Life in weeks: your life calendar
Your whole life on one screen, one dot per week. Enter your date of birth and choose how many years to show, from 40 to 120. Weeks lived are filled, this week stands out, and the weeks left stay empty. Each row of the week grid is one year, starting on your birthday. It's a life calendar that updates itself. The years are your choice, not a prediction. Eighty years is about 4,160 weeks. Seeing your life in weeks all at once helps you spend the next one well. Some know this idea by its Latin name, memento mori.

Tree: your year as a growing tree
A tree live wallpaper that grows fuller through the year, with blossom in spring, golden leaves in autumn and fallen leaves on the ground. Behind it, the sky follows your clock: sunrise, sunset, stars at night and the real moon phase for tonight. Clouds and birds pass by, and some days it rains. The seasons follow your half of the world. Paint the leaves, bark, ground and blossom any color.

Focus Reminder
Play a gentle reminder sound while working, to bring your focus back. Set a sound every 5 minutes, every hour or any gap you like, and pick the hours and days. Choose from 59 calm sounds, like soft music, birds and chimes, or a custom reminder sound of your own. Use it as a focus bell, a study bell or a mindfulness bell. It works even if Dot Days isn't your wallpaper.

Make it yours
• Track multiple goals, each with a name, date and color
• Your own title and subtitle, like a motivational quote, in five fonts
• A clock with the date, and a progress bar
• Light or dark, a true black wallpaper for AMOLED, or custom colors
• 4 dot shapes, 5 sizes and 6 styles, from flat to glowing dots
• Your photo as a blurred background, or under frosted glass
• 26 ready-made looks and 8 color styles, one tap each
• A clean, minimal wallpaper, or gentle animations

Free, private and light on battery
Free, with no ads. All premium features are free for now. No account needed, and it works offline. Dot Days is a private wallpaper app with no internet permission, so it cannot send your birth date, your goals or anything else anywhere. No data collected. It's battery friendly too. The dots stay still unless you add an animation, and the tree only moves for a few seconds when you open your home screen.

Good to know
Put it on your home screen, your lock screen, or both. A few phone makers do not allow live wallpapers on the lock screen.
