Coffee, runs, watering the plants, dentist visits… Many+ answers two simple questions: how many times, and how long since? ONE TAP AND IT'S LOGGED Tap a tile and it's recorded. Add a quantity (5 km, 2 coffees…) or a note when you want — never required. YOUR LIFE IN COLOR Every tracker gets its own pastel tile: elapsed time front and center, last 7 days of activity, your usual frequency.
