Life is organic and few things work like clockwork, so we are grown up to be constantly told when to repeat a task, here is where this application comes in to save us and tell us how long it has been since the last time we did something, and from there, repeat it whenever we see fit. • You don't get a haircut strictly every month. • You just want to know how long ago you bought your new cell phone so you can decide to change it when you feel it's necessary. • You had important events where you would like to know how long ago you experienced them, like when: - You started meditating - You adopted a pet - You took a trip to a place you would like to go back to - Started a personal or work relationship • Or you started: - Learn something - A subscription - Quit smoking • You took a remedy that is not good to repeat doses frequently. • You changed brakes, batteries, underwear, wrinkle cream, etc. and with this calculate how much you are spending on consumables. • And whatever you can think of, the options are endless. • Elapse is a very simple application that does what it should: - You add the task - You can add notes - You repeat it from the main screen - It create a log each time you repeat it - You choose your favorites that you can organize at the top of the list for tasks that you repeat more frequently or that you simply want to monitor more often. - Organize by categories: Health and wellness, shopping, personal care, important events, etc. - You sort them as you like, by name, date, favorites first and notification. - And if you consider it necessary, add a notification reminding you how much time has passed.
