  • A year view shows every day of the year as a small square
  • Add a check-in for a past day you missed, or delete one

Gentle insights

  • Mood distribution and average mood for the last 7, 30 or 90 days or the past year
  • Trends for energy, stress and sleep once there's enough data
  • Missing values are left out, never counted as zero

Help & contact

Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-in and no account. Open the app and start.
Where is my data stored?
Only on your iPhone. A Dot a Day has no servers, no cloud sync and no analytics, so nothing you enter is sent to us or anyone else.
How does the Face ID lock work?
Turn it on in Settings → Privacy. A Dot a Day then stays blurred until you unlock it with Face ID (or your passcode), and locks again when you leave the app. Face ID is handled by iOS; the app never sees your face data.
Does it cost anything?
No. The app is free, with no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases.
What happens if I delete the app?
Deleting the app deletes its data from your iPhone. If your iPhone is backed up to iCloud or a computer, that backup may still contain the app's data, as with any app.
