When was the last time you did that? Timesense answers that question. Whether it's the last time you took your medication, watered the plants, called a friend, changed the oil, fed the pet, or cleaned the bathroom โ€” Timesense tracks the days since you last did anything that matters, and shows you how often you actually do it. Most apps only count up from a single date. Timesense is built for the things you do again and again. Create an event once, then log each occurrence with a date and time. Timesense remembers every one, tells you how long it's been since the last, and turns your history into clear stats and a calendar you can actually understand. HOW IT WORKS - Create an event, like "Took Medication," "Watered Plants," or "Oil Change." - Tap to log an occurrence whenever it happens. - Instantly see the time since the last occurrence โ€” down to the day. - Open the stats and calendar views to spot your intervals, streaks, and frequency over time. PERFECT FOR - Medication and supplement adherence โ€” stay on your schedule and never double-dose. - Habits and routines โ€” count the days since a slip, or since your last workout. - Pet care โ€” track feedings, walks, grooming, and vet visits. - Plant care โ€” know exactly when you last watered or fertilized. - Car and home maintenance โ€” oil changes, filter swaps, chores, and repairs. - Memory aids โ€” anniversaries, milestones, and "when did I last..." questions of every kind. FEATURES YOU'LL LOVE - Beautiful, modern design built entirely for Apple platforms. - A personal color and icon for every event, so your list is yours at a glance. - Calendar and statistics views that visualize how often you do something. - Reminders and notifications so you stay on schedule. - Automatic, seamless iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. - A dedicated Apple Watch app to log and check events from your wrist. - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your most important events. - Multi-window and multitasking support on iPad. - CSV export โ€” your data is always yours to take with you.

Focus is hard when life keeps interrupting. Kids, coworkers, phone calls, that thing you just remembered โ€” it all adds up. Most timer apps punish you for being human. Nudge doesn't. **KEY FEATURES** - Gentle timer that pauses without punishment โ€” pause whenever life interrupts, resume when you're ready. No dead trees, no failed sessions, no guilt. - Background execution that actually works โ€” lock your phone, switch apps, put it in your pocket. Your timer keeps running and alerts you when it's time. - Silent vibration mode (Library Safe) โ€” a custom triple-pulse vibration pattern that works even on mute. Focus in libraries, open offices, and shared spaces without disturbing a soul. - Flexible presets โ€” Pomodoro, countdown, or open-ended count-up mode. Build timers that match how you actually work, not how a textbook says you should. - Session history with honest stats โ€” see your real focus time, pause count, and total duration. No inflated numbers, no gamified streaks to stress about. - Smart defaults & day context โ€” time-of-day greetings, remembered last preset, auto-start breaks. Nudge learns how you work and gets out of the way. **WHY NUDGE?** We built Nudge because every focus timer we tried made us feel worse. Paused? Failed session. Locked your phone? Timer stopped. Need silence? Too bad, here's an alarm. Nudge is different: - No shame for pausing. Life happens. Your timer understands. - ADHD-friendly. Flexible structures instead of rigid 25/5 boxes. Time awareness without time pressure. - Warm, not aggressive. Amber glow instead of red alerts. Encouraging copy instead of streaks and punishments. - One-time purchase. No subscriptions draining your account every month. **WHAT'S INCLUDED FREE** - Classic Pomodoro timer (25/5) - Up to 3 custom presets - Full session history - Silent vibration alerts - Background timer execution - All core features, no ads, no account required **NUDGE PRO โ€” $6.99 (one-time)** - Unlimited custom presets - Per-timer analytics and breakdowns - Time awareness mode (periodic gentle nudges for time-blindness) - Shortcuts integration - CSV data export - Priority support All your data stays on your device. No account needed. No tracking. Just you and your focus.
