Get Dotilda for your Kompakt How it works

Made for the Mudita Kompakt and Android 11+ e‑readers. No account, no tracking, no ads.

Slow down. One small question, one line, and the rest of the day is yours again.

The ritual · under two minutes

One question, at the hour you choose. Then nothing.

1 · Dotilda asks

A small question

One gentle reminder a day, at your time. No feed, no inbox, nothing to catch up on.

2 · You answer

A line is plenty

Write a line, pick a word, choose tea or coffee. On heavy days, just tell her the weather inside.

3 · A dot appears

Your sky fills up

Each answer adds one dot to the year. It is drawn once, in ink, and stays still.

Try one

Tea or coffee kind of day?

More than 200 questions in the app, so you never feel you are going round in circles.

Eight ways to answer

Every answer gives its dot a shape.

Your sky · 2026

Miss a day? Nothing breaks.

The whole year fits on one screen: twelve rows, one dot per day. An empty day is a tiny grey dot, a breath in the grid. No streak, no red, no guilt.

“There you are. Your sky kept your place.”

Dotilda, after a week away

“Seven days, seven dots. I’ll call this one Slow.”

At the end of a journey

“A cloudy start, a sunny finish. Rather well done.”
