Some things are never finished for good. The trash goes out every Thursday. The water filter needs changing 180 days after the last one. The plants want water on their own schedule, not yours. Again is built for exactly those tasks โ€” the ones that come back. GIVE EVERY TASK ITS OWN RHYTHM โ€ข On a schedule โ€” every day, week, two weeks, month, or year, at a time you pick. โ€ข After completion โ€” a set number of days after you actually finish it. Do it three days late and everything after shifts with you, instead of nagging you about a date that's already gone. โ€ข One-time โ€” for the things you only have to do once. They leave when they're done. A LIST THAT SORTS ITSELF Tasks line up by when they're ready, longest-waiting first, with a marker showing where "ready now" ends and "coming up" begins. Every row tells you where it stands โ€” ready 3 hours ago, ready in 5 days โ€” so a glance is enough. The app icon carries a badge with the count, so you know before you even open it. Swipe a task to finish it on iPhone and iPad, or tick it off on the Mac. Either way it quietly reschedules itself for next time. WORTH LOOKING AT โ€ข Give any task an emoji, so you recognize it before you read it โ€ข Nine color schemes โ€ข Nine app icons to match, so your Home Screen matches your mood โ€ข Light, dark, or follow the system ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Again runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and keeps your tasks in step through your own iCloud account. There's no account to create, no password, and no server of ours in between. FREE, AND EVERYTHING FOREVER Track up to five tasks for free, with the Classic, Pride, and Trans Pride themes and matching icons. Everything Forever unlocks unlimited tasks, every color scheme, and every app icon. It's one purchase, not a subscription โ€” buy it once, keep it, and share it with your family. PRIVACY No ads, no tracking, no analytics, no data collection. Your tasks live on your device and in your own iCloud account, and nowhere else.
