Time Since helps you remember two things: when you last did something, and what's coming next. Use it as a simple day counter for recurring jobs, habits, health notes and life admin. Then use the reminders list to count down to birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other important dates. TRACK WHEN YOU LAST DID IT Create an event, choose a category, and Time Since shows a clear count of how many days have passed. Great for: - Home maintenance, such as filters, gutters, pool care and smoke alarms - Health and wellbeing notes, such as symptoms, check-ins or appointments - Habits and routines, such as workouts, hobbies and personal goals - Work and life admin, such as reviews, renewals and recurring tasks Each time it happens again, reset the counter. Time Since keeps every reset, with its date and an optional note, so you can look back without relying on memory. EVERY COUNTER TELLS ITS STORY Tap any event to see the pattern behind the number: how many times you've reset it, the average gap between resets, and the full history. Logged one late? Backdate a reset and the stats stay honest. SMART DUE AND OVERDUE STATUS Not everything runs on a fixed schedule. Time Since can learn the average gap between resets and flag an event as Due or Overdue based on your own pattern. COUNT DOWN TO WHAT'S NEXT Create reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other occasions. See how many days are left, add a person name or note, and choose local alerts for 1 month, 1 week, 1 day before, or on the day. Reminders repeat annually with correct next-date handling, including leap years. WIDGETS FOR HOME AND LOCK SCREEN See where things stand without opening the app. Add a widget for a single event, a countdown to what's next, or an overview of several at once. Home Screen widgets come in a range of sizes, and compact Lock Screen widgets keep the ones that matter most a glance away. Each one updates as the days change. CHECK WITH SHORTCUTS AND SIRI Read the days since an event was reset, or its average reset interval, with Shortcuts and supported Siri phrases. These actions only read your saved events. IMPORT FROM CALENDAR Bring in birthdays and recurring calendar events in a couple of taps. Calendar access is optional and used only for import. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No ads. No third-party analytics or tracking. No developer servers. Your data stays on your device and in your private iCloud, syncing across your own iPhone and iPad through iCloud. Notifications are scheduled locally on your device. On compatible iOS 26 devices with Apple Intelligence, Time Since can also draft birthday or anniversary messages on device. Nothing is sent to a server. FREE TO START Track up to 5 events and reminders for free. Upgrade once to Pro for unlimited events and reminders. No subscription. Time Since is built for people who want a calm, private way to remember the last time, the next date, and the small things that keep life running.
