======= Remember the last time you… ======= – Got a haircut? – Changed your bedsheets? – Cleaned your desk? – Took your vitamins? – Called your mom? Freshboard is a simple board of counters that track how long it’s been since you last did something. Each counter shows how many days have passed. They start fresh, then start ageing, then go stale. Tap to reset. No clutter. No nags. Just a tool. ====== What it’s for: ====== – Personal hygiene routines – Chores and cleaning – Maintenance tasks – Anything you want to remember (but always forget) ====== How it works: ====== 1. Add a counter 2. Set a target 3. Let time pass… 4. Tap to reset when done Counters change color over time: – Green = fresh – Yellow = due – Red = stale ====== Free features: ====== – Track up to 5 things – Simple interface – Local-only (no cloud) ====== Upgrade to Pro: ====== – Unlimited counters – More themes coming soon – One-time payment – No subscription ====== Built for minimalists. ======= – No ads – No accounts – No fluff – Works offline – Tiny size – Private by default

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Freshboard at none against TimeWield's shown. TimeWield's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
