Good Dots support

Getting started

1. Open Good Dots in the evening and answer the question “What was good today?” in one sentence.
2. Pick an area, such as Relationships or Health. It gives the day its color. You can also leave the area empty.
3. Tap Add dot. The day appears as a colored dot in your grid.

Tap the dot counter on the first screen to see your grid, and Year for the whole year. Tap any dot to read it again. Days without a dot show as dashed rings; tap one to fill it in later.

Areas and colors

Open Settings → Areas to rename an area, change its color or add a new one. You can have up to eight areas. Deleting an area keeps the dots you already set in it, with their color.

Reminder and widget

Open Settings → Reminder to choose when Good Dots asks. You can answer directly in the notification. To add the widget, touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget and search for Good Dots.

Purchases

Good Dots is free. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no ads.

Data & privacy

Where your dots are stored

Good Dots has no account. Everything you write is stored on your iPhone only and is not sent to us or to any third party. iCloud or computer backups of your iPhone may include the app’s data.

Keep a copy

Open Settings → Export dots to save or share all your dots as text. Deleting the app removes its data from your iPhone, so export first if you want to keep it. Read the privacy policy.

Help & troubleshooting

The reminder does not arrive

• In Good Dots, open Settings → Reminder and choose a time. “Off” means no reminder is sent.
• In the iOS Settings app, check Notifications → Good Dots and your Focus modes.
• Once today’s dot is set, the reminder for today is skipped.

I chose the wrong area or made a typo

• Today: tap Edit dot on the first screen.
• Earlier days: open the dot from the grid and tap Edit.

The widget shows an old day

• Open Good Dots once; the widget updates when the app saves.
