About

Last Next!

Features
Read full description

Last Next! keeps track of the last time you did a thing or the next time you need to do a thing. Take a pill, stretch your body, water the plant you keep forgetting about. Some things you don't want to do too often, like medication. Others you don't want to let slide, like stretching. Last Next handles both — turn on notifications only for the things you need to know about. Optionally track the frequency between activities and how long until your next one. Pick colors and symbols for everything you track, log it with a tap, a swipe, or by asking Siri, and check in from your home screen with a widget. That’s it. No streaks to break, no charts to feel bad about. A simple, helpful tracking app. Go forth and remember things.
