The planner that forgives you.
Plan your days, weeks and year in one calm place. When life gets messy, nothing turns red, nothing resets, and picking back up takes one tap.
It opens like an app from your own link, on your phone, tablet or computer. No account, no app store, no monthly fee, and everything you write stays on your device.
- Opens like an app, nothing to install
- Works offline
- No account, no sign up
- Pay once, keep it

Most planners are built for your best week.
Then one busy week happens, and the planner turns into a list of everything you didn't do. Dott. is built for the week after that one.
The usual planner
- Miss three days and you come back to a wall of red, overdue tasks
- Break a streak and the counter drops back to zero
- The paper planner stops in February, and the empty pages stay empty
- Tasks in one app, habits in another, the journal somewhere else
- Another monthly subscription for something you might stop using
Dott.
- Unfinished tasks wait quietly. Move them, reschedule them, or let them go
- Habits are dots, not streaks. A gap is just a gap, and your dots stay
- Pick back up on any day. Restart turns a backlog into one next step
- Tasks, calendar, habits, goals, mood, journal and meals in one place
- One payment. The file is yours to keep
Every tick is a small win.
Today now counts everything you tick, and any task can have a tiny version that still counts.
- Small wins: the ring on Today counts every tick of the day: tasks, habits, routine steps and quick wins.
- Smallest win: give any task a tiny version. The first tap means you did a little, the second means done.
- Today on a phone: what you tick comes first, the hour-by-hour schedule last.
- A shorter menu: the pages you open every day first, the rest one tap away.
- A soft "+1 small win" when you tick. No streaks, and nothing turns red.
This is what a calm week looks like.
Real screens from Dott., filled with example content. Tap any image to see it full size.
Built for the days that don't go to plan.
Three small ideas run through every page. Together they make Dott. easy to come back to.
Nothing turns red
At the end of the day, anything unfinished gets one choice: tomorrow, next week, or let it go. No overdue pile building up behind you.
Nothing resets
Tap once for the smallest version of a habit, twice for the whole thing. Miss a week and every dot you made is still there.
Nothing is lost
Back after a gap? Restart sorts what's waiting in one pass. Letting go isn't deleting: everything rests on a shelf you can bring it back from.
One planner instead of five apps.
No setup, no templates to hunt for. Open the file and start with today.
Today
Your day on one page. Pick Today's 3, the things that matter most, then see everything else, your schedule and a quick check-in. At the end of the day, wrap up in one go.
Week, Month and Year
Drag tasks between days, set this week's must happen and would be nice, and choose one focus for the month. The year shows every day as a dot, fuller on the days you did more.
Tasks
An inbox for everything without a date, your own lists, tags and priorities. Break a task into steps, make it repeat, and search everything with Ctrl K.
Habits and Goals
Habits are dots with a smallest win for bad days. Goals break down month by month, with one step for this week. If a step slips, move it down. The goal doesn't expire.
Mood, Journal and Reviews
Shade your mood, energy, sleep and time outside. Patterns show up on their own. Write a line or a page in the journal, then look back with a weekly and monthly review.
Routines
Morning and evening checklists that start fresh every day.
Focus timer
Pick a task, start the ring. Minutes add up on the task.
Meals & groceries
Plan the week's meals. The grocery list builds itself.
Lists
Reading, watching, packing, gifts, wishlist, or your own.
Brain dump
Empty your head, then turn any line into a task, event or note.
Notes
Free pages for everything else. Pin the ones you need.
Print & export
Print days, weeks and months. Export events (.ics) and tasks (.csv).
Permission slip
Officially allowed to have a messy week. Print it and sign it.
Ready for a planner you can come back to?
$20 once. No subscription, no account.
More of your life, same calm.
Six new pages, free for everyone who already has the planner. Still nothing that turns red.
Projects, one step at a time
For things bigger than a task: a move, a trip, a launch. Break it into steps, send the next one to today, and let the rest wait.
Dates and countdowns
Birthdays, anniversaries and the days you are counting down to. They show on Today the week before, so nothing sneaks up on you.
People you want to stay close to
Note when you last talked and how often you would like to. When it has been a while, a soft nudge appears. No guilt.
A jar of wins
Keep what went right, small or big. On a hard day, open the jar and pull one out.
A compass, not a scoreboard
A word for the year, what matters most, one focus for the quarter, and a note to yourself a year from now.
Insights with no scores
Your last eight weeks side by side: things finished, focused minutes, habit check-ins and mood, with a few plain sentences underneath.
Make it yours.
Choose from 15 colour palettes, or pick your own two colours. Each one recolours the whole planner, in light and dark mode.
An honest look at whether it's right for you.
Made for you if:
- You've abandoned planners before and want one you can come back to
- You want tasks, calendar, habits, goals and journal in one place
- You'd rather keep your plans private, on your own device
- You don't want another monthly subscription
- You like a calm, quiet tool more than a busy one
Not for you if:
- You need to share a calendar with a team or your family
- You need your devices to sync automatically (Dott. moves between devices with a backup file)
- You need reminders when the planner is closed (it can remind you only while it's open in a browser tab)
- You want it to connect live to Google or Outlook Calendar (you can export your events as a calendar file)
- You want an AI to plan your day for you
Open it tonight. Plan tomorrow in five minutes.
No setup wizard and nothing to learn first. This is the whole process.
Open your link
After checkout you get your link and your personal licence key. Open the link, type the key once, and Dott. opens like an app on your phone, tablet or computer. That's the install.
Pick today's 3
Write the three things that matter today. Add anything else below, and events to the schedule if you like.
Check in when you can
Tick things off, fill a habit dot, shade your mood. Everything saves as you type.
When life happens, restart
Missed a few days? Restart turns what's waiting into one next step. No guilt, no clean-up.
Check today's 3 on the bus.
Dott. adapts to small screens with a menu at the bottom. Your download includes a link you open with your personal licence key: open it on your phone, add it to your home screen, and it works like an app, even offline.
- Same features as on a computer
- Light and dark mode, all 15 palettes
- Move your planner between devices with a backup file
Private, offline, and yours to keep.

General comparison. Apps and planners vary; check the specific product you're considering.
A planner shouldn't make you feel behind. It should help you decide what to do next.
That's the whole idea behind Dott. It doesn't count the days you missed, it doesn't ask for a clean Monday, and it keeps everything on your own device. Plan when you can. Pick back up when you're ready.
One price. Yours to keep.
Everything on this page is included in one download. No subscription and no upsells inside the app.

Frequently asked.
Is this an app I have to install?
No. You open your link, type your licence key once, and it opens like an app in your web browser. There's nothing to install and no account to create. Your download also includes the planner as a single file that works with no internet, so it stays yours whatever happens.
Is my planner private?
Yes. Everything you write is saved in your browser on your device. Nothing is uploaded and we never see it. Use the built-in backup to keep a copy somewhere safe.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Your download includes a link you open with your personal licence key. Open the link on your phone, type your licence key once, and add it to your home screen: it then opens like an app and works offline, with no unzipping. On a computer you can use the link too, or open the file itself.
Does it sync between my devices?
Not automatically. Each device and browser keeps its own copy, which is what keeps it private. To move your planner, download a backup on one device and restore it on the other. It takes two clicks.
Does it work with Google Calendar or Outlook?
It doesn't sync, because your planner stays on your device. You can still use both: open any event and add it to Google Calendar, Outlook or any other calendar in one tap, and import a calendar file to bring your existing events into Dott.
Will it send me reminders?
Only while the planner is open in a browser tab, if you turn on "Reminders while open" in Settings. Browsers can't send notifications from a file that's closed, so if you rely on reminders, keep a phone alarm for the important ones.
Is it dated or undated?
The app uses real dates, so it always knows what today is and your week can start on Monday, Sunday or Saturday. The bonus Paper Planner is undated, so you can start it any time.
Do I need internet?
No. After you download it, Dott. works completely offline.
What if I clear my browser data?
That removes the planner from that browser, which is why backup is built in. One click downloads a file with everything in it, and one click restores it. Dott. reminds you if you haven't made a backup in a week.
Can I change the colours?
Yes. Settings has 15 palettes, from the original olive to Ocean, Peony, Lilac and more, or you can choose your own two colours. Each works in light and dark mode.
Can I print it?
Yes. Today, Week, Month, the grocery list and the permission slip all print cleanly, and the 32-page Paper Planner is included for printing.
Is there a subscription?
No. You pay $20 once and keep the file. There are no renewals and nothing to unlock inside the app.
