Yetly

Yetly remembers the small stuff you do on repeat. Water the plant. Change the filter. Replace the toothbrush head. Free, in full. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads. A calendar wants a date, and real life does not work like that. Yetly holds two facts about each thing: when you last did it, and how often it needs doing. Mark it done and the next one moves itself. You never reschedule anything. No streaks. No scores. Nothing turns red. One nudge when something is due, and it does not come back to nag you. Late is written in warm amber, and if you slip for a month, Yetly is just glad to see you. What people keep in here: Water the fiddle leaf, every 5 days Change the HVAC filter, every 3 months Replace contact lenses, every 2 weeks Descale the coffee machine, every month Smoke detector battery, every year Type the name and Yetly picks an icon, or pick your own emoji. Everything is included: as many things as you like, a reminder for each at a time you choose, Done and Not yet right on the notification, a note on every thing, search, light and dark, backup and restore, every home screen and lock screen widget, a quiet suggestion when what you actually do drifts from the cadence you set, and the entire Apple Watch app with complications. No account, no ads, no analytics, no server. Your list never leaves your phone, which is also why Yetly does not sync between devices yet. Backups travel as a file, so you can move them yourself. Better to know that now than to be surprised later. Not yet? Yetly.
