A calmer way to move through the day
Your life isn’t a list. Dot doesn’t treat it like one.
Plans shift. Energy changes. Important thoughts show up at the worst moment. Dot gathers the pieces and keeps the next useful step close.
Capture
Catch it before it disappears.
Drop any thought into one frictionless inbox. No project, priority, or perfect wording required.
Plan
See the next move, not the whole mountain.
Dot turns scattered tasks, routines, and calendar blocks into one calm view of today.
Remember
Reminders you can actually trust.
Schedules live in Dot’s deterministic core—not in a chat transcript—so they keep working without AI.
Understand
Memory with an off switch.
Nothing becomes long-term memory by accident. Review, approve, edit, export, or delete what Dot knows.
Tour the whole desktop
Nine focused spaces. One calm system.
Every part of Dot has one job. Move through the tabs to see how each view helps you capture what matters, find it again, and keep moving.
A calm daily view
01 / 09Know what deserves your attention now.
Today brings your next task, schedule, routine, and progress into one human-sized view—so you can start without reconstructing your whole plan.
- One clear next action
- Energy and time context

ADHD-friendly, useful for anyone
Fewer decisions between remembering and doing.Quick capture, one visible next step, flexible routines, and shame-free resets can be especially helpful when attention, working memory, or energy fluctuate—including for many people with ADHD.Built for real days
One place to catch, choose, and continue.
Dot brings tasks, routines, reminders, calendar blocks, and conversations into one quiet desktop. Less maintenance. More momentum.
01Today stays human-sized.One next action, the rest of the path when you need it.
02Routines meet you where you are.Take them step by step, shorten them, pause, and return.
03Chat can act—but only with guardrails.Dot proposes consequential changes and confirms before it commits.
From mental clutter to forward motion
Three small steps. One much lighter head.
Capture anything
Press the quick-capture shortcut and type it exactly as it arrives.
Let Dot organize
Sort it yourself or use optional local AI to propose the right place and time.
Do the next thing
Open Today and see the next useful action without rebuilding your whole plan.
Private by architecture
The most personal app on your Mac shouldn’t need your data.
Dot’s organizer runs locally. SQLite owns durable state. Reminders do not depend on a model. Optional AI connects through local-only Ollama or LM Studio.

A different default
Personal assistance without the usual trade.
Most assistants ask you to exchange privacy and another monthly fee for convenience. Dot starts from a different premise.

Questions, answered
A little certainty before you start.
Dot is intentionally simple about where your data lives and what happens when AI is unavailable.
Does Dot need the internet?
No for ordinary organizer use. Tasks, routines, reminders, the calendar, and approved memory stay useful offline. This marketing site and any payment or download provider naturally require a connection.
Do I need to run an AI model?
No. Dot’s organizer features work without one. The Founders Edition’s qualified optional setup uses LM Studio with the supported local model running on your Mac.
Which Macs are supported?
Dot Founders Edition supports Apple silicon Macs running macOS 26 or newer. Organizer-only use requires 16 GB of memory; the qualified optional local model works best with 32 GB.
Is there a Dot app for iPhone?
A separate standalone Dot for iPhone app is being prepared for the App Store at $6.99 for iOS 26 or later. It is a separate purchase and this first version does not sync with Dot for Mac.
Is Dot a medical or safety-critical reminder tool?
No. Dot is built for everyday planning and executive-function support, not medical-critical or safety-critical reminders.
Clear your head.
Keep your life.
Dot Founders Edition is available now on the Mac App Store.
