Questions

Answers about Updot

What it does, what it costs and how your data stays on your iPhone.

01What is Updot?

Updot is an AI day planner for iPhone, made by Upspell. It keeps your habits, to-do list, reminders, calendar, notes and focus timer in one app, and turns messages, voice notes and photos into tasks.

02What makes Updot different from other habit trackers and day planners?

Most people use separate apps for habits, to-dos, reminders, notes and focus. Updot puts them in one app, so they work together. It also turns a WhatsApp message, an email, a voice note or a photo into a task with the date and reminder already set. All of its AI runs on your iPhone, with no account, and Updot uploads nothing.

03What can Updot do?

Track daily habits and streaks, manage a to-do list with due dates, set repeating and place reminders, show your whole day as a timeline, take notes that find their own to-dos, run focus sessions, tick habits from Apple Health, and show your progress by day, week, month and year.

04How much does Updot cost?

Updot is $2.99 a month or $19.99 a year in the US, after a 7-day free trial. The App Store shows the price in your local currency.

05Is Updot a habit tracker or a to-do list app?

Both. Updot combines a habit tracker, a to-do list, reminders, notes and a focus timer, so you don’t need separate apps for each.

06Which iPhones work with Updot?

Any iPhone with iOS 26 or later. The AI reading of messages, voice and photos uses Apple Intelligence, so that part needs an iPhone that supports it, with Apple Intelligence turned on. On other iPhones, Updot still finds dates, times and places with its built-in rules.

07Do my messages leave my phone?

No. Updot reads what you paste or photograph on your iPhone, and nothing is sent to Upspell or anyone else. Voice notes are turned into text by Apple’s speech recognition, on your iPhone when it supports it; Updot never receives your voice.

08Does it work with WhatsApp?

Yes. Copy a message in WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business and paste it into Updot. You can also send a task to someone on WhatsApp.

09How do I cancel?

Open iPhone Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Updot. Cancel at least a day before your free week ends and you will not be charged.

10Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Updot is made for iPhone first.
