Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m the maker of One Dot. I built this after trying several wallpaper shortcuts and realizing they didn’t support what I needed -- like proper widget spacing, quarterly views, or flexible time visualization. So I made my own, keeping it minimal and automatic. One Dot uses iOS Shortcuts to update your wallpaper once per day, turning it into a simple, daily view of time passing. I’d love feedback, especially from people who use Shortcuts, minimalist design, or reflective tools. I also have a few promo codes for the premium version if anyone wants to try it.

Love this idea — turning time into something visible rather than something that pings you is really thoughtful.

Curious how people tend to use it most: as a productivity reminder, or more as a reflective / memento mori tool?

Daniel Kartsev

@louis_chen5 Exactly! That’s the core idea -- making time visible. :)

I guess, people use it in a mix of ways. I'm using it mostly on the reflective side, like a “memento mori” -- noticing how fast life moves and appreciating each day, and how much I have to get done.

What stood out to me about One Dot is how much intention there seems to be behind keeping the concept simple.

Products with minimal interfaces often risk feeling vague, but One Dot doesn’t come across that way. Instead, the simplicity feels deliberate — like the product is asking users to focus on one clear action or idea at a time. From a UX perspective, that kind of constraint can be surprisingly powerful.

As a first impression, it feels calm and purposeful rather than unfinished, which is a hard balance to strike with something this minimal.

Hey Daniel, that frustration with existing shortcuts not supporting what you actually needed is relatable. Was there a specific wallpaper setup you tried that almost worked but missed something small enough to bug you every day?
Daniel Kartsev

@vouchy Hey! Just needed something more than a regular wallpaper. :)

I love the idea! There are some privacy concerns though
