Lastly is a calm, private tracker for everything you do — and everything you wish you did more often. STOP FORGETTING WHAT MATTERS When did you last call your parents? Change your toothbrush? Visit the dentist? Read a good book? Lastly answers these questions in one tap. NOT ANOTHER TO-DO APP To-do lists handle deadlines. Lastly handles the things that don't have deadlines — but should happen regularly. It's a quiet mirror for your life's rhythms. SMART INTERVAL REMINDERS Set a target frequency for each event. Lastly gently nudges you when something is overdue — with progressive urgency, never spam. TWO TYPES OF TRACKING — WITH SMART COLORS • Do More: Call parents, read books, exercise • Do Less: Smoking, staying up late, being late Colors flip intelligently based on type. 47 days without smoking shows deep green (you're doing great!). 47 days without calling Mom shows red (overdue — call her!). No other tracker does this. COMING SOON: SHARE WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS Track shared events with your household, roommates, or partner. Car maintenance, doctor visits, filter changes, kids' haircuts — all in one place. Get notified when something in your shared list is overdue. No competitor offers this. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your device and syncs via iCloud. No servers. No tracking. No ads. We don't collect anything, ever. ONE-TIME PURCHASE No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. Pay once, own forever. FEATURES • Smart interval reminders with color-coded urgency • Two tracking types: do-more (green when done) & do-less (green when avoided) • Home screen widgets (small, medium, large) • Siri Shortcuts: "Hey Siri, I called Mom" • History timeline with notes • Archive & pause events • Lightweight trends: see if you're improving • Starter templates for new users • Export to CSV/JSON • Works offline • iCloud sync across devices COMING IN V2: Family & friend sharing Track shared events with your household — car maintenance, doctor visits, filter changes — all in one place. Assign reminders to family members. Share with roommates, partners, or friends. Lastly. Know when you last did the things that matter.
