Everything in your home has a clock on it. The furnace filter you installed last winter, the water filter in the fridge, the batteries in the smoke detector — they all need changing, and none of them will remind you. ChangeTime will. ADD ITEMS IN SECONDS • Snap a photo so every item is easy to spot in your list • Scan the barcode — the second time you buy the same filter, ChangeTime fills in everything and suggests the change date automatically • Or just type it in, with brand, description, and a private note for model numbers and sizes SET THE CHANGE DATE YOUR WAY • Say it: hold the mic and speak — "3 months from now" — and ChangeTime sets the date • Smart suggestions: ChangeTime knows the typical life of furnace filters, water filters, detector batteries, and more, and offers the right interval with one tap • Or pick the day on the calendar NEVER MISS A CHANGE • Reminders 7 days before, the day before, and on change day • Optional daily nudges while something stays overdue • Add change dates to your iOS Calendar automatically • See everything at a glance: Good, Soon, and Overdue — tap to filter ORGANIZED BY LOCATION OR ITEM • Kitchen, garage, basement, camper, musical intrument or vehicle— group items where they live, and filter the list with a tap • Swiped in a new filter? Tap "I Changed It" right on the reminder — the swap is logged and the next change is scheduled automatically STICK A LABEL ON IT • Print a QR label for any item and stick it on the equipment and scan it with your iPhone camera to jump straight to that item — check the date or mark it changed without searching ON YOUR WRIST • The full list, color-coded, on Apple Watch • Add items and update change dates from the watch — by dictation, smart suggestion, or a calendar picker — and everything syncs to your iPhone PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking — the camera, microphone, and speech recognition are used only in the moment, on the device. Install it. Change it on time. Repeat.
