More reasons people choose Tudots

A plan from one sentence

Say “train for a 10K in 8 weeks” or “start exercising on 1 January”. The Dots build every session, with dates and reminders.

Your year, one dot a day

Every day you get things done fills a dot. Seeing your year fill up is the motivation.

Private by design

No account. Your tasks live on your phone and in your own iCloud, never on our server. Only what you ask the Dots is sent, to answer you, then forgotten.

Calm, and it gets through

One list for today, black and white. Today's tasks on your Lock Screen and an evening check-in for what's left.

Things is the better pick if you prefer paying once and want a polished list with projects and areas, and plan everything yourself.
