The list that resets itself. Again is a private daily checklist for the routines you repeat every morning, afternoon, and evening. Add your tasks once, organize them by time of day, and cross them off with a satisfying hand-drawn strike. Return tomorrow to the exact same list — fresh, unmarked, ready again. NOT A HABIT TRACKER Again has no streaks, no missed-day warnings, no charts, no scores, and no leaderboards. The crossed-off list itself is the reward. Missed a day? The app already forgot. Come back when you're ready — no guilt, nothing to protect. FOUR TIMES OF DAY (PLUS A BACKLOG) Morning. Afternoon. Evening. Anytime. Organize your routines by when they actually fit your day. Pick specific weekdays for any task, so a gym routine can skip weekends automatically. Keep anything without a fixed time in No Schedule, a backlog tab for the things you'll get to eventually. Switch between tabs in a single tap — each holds its own list and its own empty state. FOUR TIMES OF DAY Morning. Afternoon. Evening. Anytime. Organize your routines by when they actually fit your day, without rigid scheduling. Switch between tabs in a single tap — each holds its own list and its own empty state. A REAL DAILY RESET Again stores completions per calendar day, not as permanent checkmarks. Every new day starts with the same routines, uncrossed and ready. Set your own day-start hour — night owls can make "today" start at 2 AM instead of midnight. DESIGNED TO FEEL GOOD A hand-drawn, slightly irregular strikethrough animation. An optional soft pencil-scratch sound. Native haptic feedback for crossing off, restoring, reordering, and finishing your whole list. A cheerful little celebration when you cross off everything for the day. MADE TO LAST Drag to reorder your tasks. Swipe to edit or delete. Suggested first tasks to get you started (drink water, stretch, read, make the bed, take a walk). Large, readable typography with full support for Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No login. No cloud sync. No analytics. No third-party tracking. All your checklist data stays on your device — nothing is ever sent anywhere. Core functionality works fully in airplane mode. YOUR DATA, YOURS TO KEEP Export a human-readable JSON backup any time from Settings. Import it on another device, or email it to yourself. Your routines never leave your device unless you choose to move them. MAKE IT YOURS Choose your own accent color from a full hue/saturation wheel, or pick from curated presets. Light, dark, or system appearance. Four text sizes. An optional daily reminder at whatever time works for you. Tag related tasks with a name and color of your own choosing — "Work," "Kids," "Gym" — so everything under a tag is easy to spot at a glance. Again isn't trying to track your life or gamify your mornings. It's a quiet tool for the things you do again and again — cross them off, and start fresh tomorrow.
