SimpleDot – Minimalist Journal

Your private daily journal.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

One dot per day. That's it. The journal for people who gave up on journaling. No account, no pressure. Your data stays on your device. "What do you want to remember about today?" I noticed my days were fading. I tried journal apps. After a few weeks, I stopped. Not because I didn't want to. Because the apps wanted too much. Mood scores. Streak counters. Daily prompts. I didn't need more features. I needed fewer reasons not to write. So I built SimpleDot around that one question. One sentence is enough. One word is enough. Write more if you want, but you never have to. THIS IS SIMPLEDOT – Write about your day. A sentence is enough – Add a photo, a rating, or a focus tag – Watch your year fill up, one dot at a time – Relive your days, one page at a time – Find any memory with search and filters – A widget that brings back memories, without opening the app – 3 color themes, light & dark mode – Daily reminders, data export – No account needed. All data stays on your device DOT+ — IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER Multiple entries per day, iCloud sync, app lock, premium themes, widget filters and On This Day memory, and detailed stats. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No ads. Your data stays on your device. With Dot+, backups go to your iCloud. Your future self will thank you.
