Ago answers "when did I last do this?" Some things don't belong on a calendar. You just need to know how long it's been, and a nudge when it's been too long. Ago tracks the last time you did anything: watering the plants, changing the oil, replacing the toothbrush, taking your meds, calling home, the air filter, the dentist. Open the app and every activity shows how long ago, at a glance. No streaks. No pressure. Just your real rhythm. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • See "how long ago" for everything in one glance • Set a cadence, from a few hours to a few months, and Ago counts down with a clear ring and color • Get a gentle reminder right when something's due • One swipe to log it done • Beautiful stats: averages, totals, and a 26-week history map • Make it yours: custom colors, emoji, light & dark • Syncs across your devices with iCloud, private by design PERFECT FOR Home & car maintenance, plants & pets, health & meds, chores, self-care, and every recurring thing you keep forgetting. Stop keeping track in your head. Let Ago remember. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://atakanapan.com/ago/privacypolicy/
