Remember when you last did anything — and see how often, build or break a habit, or count down. Private, on-device, one tap. When Last? tracks named things with a timeline of dates. The gap is the point: due when it’s been too long, a win when you’re quitting, remaining time when you’re waiting. • Remember when — log car service, watering plants, calling your parents • See how often — cycles like periods or getting sick, not a to-do • Build a habit — do it more often; we watch the gap against a target • Break a habit — celebrate the gap; logging is a lapse, not a win • Count down — Christmas, a holiday, a milestone, with an optional Lock Screen Live Activity One-tap Log from the app, widgets, Watch, Siri, and Shortcuts. Freshness colors. Gentle reminders that re-arm from your last log. Insights with charts, records, and optional on-device Apple Intelligence summaries. Notes and photos on entries (photos are Pro). Syncs with your private iCloud — no accounts, no tracking, no guilt streaks. Optional anonymous community stats for catalog things are off until you opt in.

Pro unlocks unlimited things, photos, advanced Insights, themes, app icons, and community slices by age, country, or sex. Every job stays free.
