You know that thing you definitely did recently? It's been a minute. Been A Minute tracks the time since the last time anything happened. Watered the plant. Called your mom. Changed the air filter. Went to the gym. You log it once, and the app quietly counts up from there — no streaks to break, no daily nags, no guilt. Just an honest number and a calendar that remembers better than you do. Tap "I JUST DID IT" and the counter resets to zero with a satisfying comic BAM. The old stretch gets banked to your history, so you can finally answer the eternal question: wait… how long HAS it been? — TRACK ANYTHING — Habits you're proud of, chores you're avoiding, the oil change you keep postponing. Every entry is just "time since last reset." You decide whether that's a win or a wake-up call — pick an emoji and a color to set the mood. — I JUST DID IT — One tap resets the clock and bursts the screen. The elapsed stretch lands in your history, so the record builds itself. — SEE THE STORY — A full-bleed detail screen for every entry: the live counter, an exact breakdown ("1y · 2mo · 14d"), how many times you've reset, and a dry little voice line that has opinions about your life choices. — WIDGETS — Home screen and lock screen widgets put the count right where you'll see it. The plant doesn't water itself, but at least now you'll know. — GENTLE MILESTONE NUDGES — Optional notifications at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year. No daily pestering — just the calendar tapping you on the shoulder when it's genuinely been a while. Off by default. — YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS — No account. No sign-up. No tracking. No ads. Everything stays on your device and syncs across your own Apple devices through your private iCloud. We don't collect your data because we never see it. Track the things. Forget less. It's been a minute — let's find out exactly how long.
