Days Since & Date Counter
Read full descriptionHide full description
Some things matter but happen too rarely to remember. When did you last change the oil? Replace the water filter? Call your grandma? See the dentist? This app keeps the answer one glance away. COUNT UP FROM THE LAST TIME Add a tracker for anything: last cigarette, watered the plants, changed the sheets, backed up your files, washed the car. It counts up from the moment it last happened. Did it again? Log it, and the counter rolls back to zero. Nothing is ever ticked off and thrown away, because these things come back around. COUNT DOWN TO WHAT IS COMING Rent due, a flight, a birthday, a passport that expires. Pick a date and watch it approach in the same list. DOZENS AT ONCE, NOT ONE AT A TIME This is not a single counter. Run as many as you like side by side, grouped into Time since and Counting down, and sort them by most urgent, recently logged, longest running, name, or your own custom order. A RHYTHM, NOT A DEADLINE Give any tracker a cadence: every 3 days, every 6 weeks, every 6 months, every year. It moves from On track to Due soon to Overdue on its own, with a progress bar you can read in a second. REMINDERS WHEN SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY DUE Local notifications arrive when a tracker crosses the line. No daily nagging, no guilt. SEE YOUR REAL RHYTHM Every occurrence is logged with the gap since the previous one. Insights charts those gaps against the cadence you were aiming for, and shows times logged, average gap, longest gap, whether you are improving or slipping, what needs attention, and what is coming up. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Small, medium and large. Always sorted by what needs attention first, with the most pressing item up front and a one-line summary: all on track, due soon, or needs attention. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE ADMIN Health: dentist, eye exam, blood test, meds refilled. Home: air filter, water filter, sheets, fridge, plants. Vehicle: oil change, tire rotation, car wash. Pets: vet visit, flea treatment. Plus Social, Personal, Finance and Work, with icons and colors for each. MAKE IT YOURS Eight categories, custom icons and colors, custom ordering, and CSV export of everything you have logged. NO ACCOUNT, WORKS OFFLINE No sign-up, no login, no setup. Open it and start tracking. HONEST PRICING Track 2 things free, for as long as you like. Unlock unlimited trackers with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. Start with the one you have been meaning to check. When was the last time? Terms of Use: https://02apps.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://02apps.com/privacy

Slips — Five notes, made yours Five slips. That's all. Slips is a notes app built on a simple idea: five fixed notes are enough for the things you actually return to, and few enough that you always know where everything is. No folders to organize, no archive to dig through, no blank-page guilt. Pick a slip and write. MADE YOURS Name each slip, choose an icon from hundreds of symbols, and give it a color. Groceries, Books, Trips, Meds, Faith, Projects, whatever your five are. Reorder them any time. ALWAYS IN SYNC Your slips live in your own private iCloud and stay current on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Edit on one device, and it's on the others. Nothing is collected, nothing is tracked, and there are no accounts to create. BACKED UP, JUST IN CASE Every device quietly saves a daily backup of your slips, keeping the last three. Restoring takes one tap, and a safety copy is made first, so even a restore can be undone. You can also export your slips to a file and keep it anywhere. RICH WHERE IT COUNTS Bold, italic, underline, highlight, headers, bulleted and numbered lists, tap-to-check checklists, dividers, and links that turn into preview cards. FAST WAYS IN Add to a slip from any app with the share sheet. Automate with Siri and Shortcuts. Put a slip on your Home Screen or Lock Screen with widgets, or capture instantly from Control Center. AT HOME ON THE MAC A real Mac app: your slips in the sidebar, formatting in the menu bar, Cmd+1 through Cmd+5 to switch slips, an optional menu bar icon, and sharing straight from Safari. SIMPLE PRICING Try a single Slip for free forever. Slips Plus unlocks all five. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and is shareable with your family. Slips Plus subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your App Store account settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Lifetime is a one-time purchase.
