Never forget to replace your consumables again. SparesBro tracks everything-from toothbrushes and eye lenses to razors and air filters-sending you smart, customizable reminders and stock alerts on your terms. Meet your spares' bro! Think of SparesBro as your personal assistant for all your consumables. It's your single source of truth that tracks time-based items (like filters) and usage-based items (like razors), manages your stock, and gives you a helpful nudge so you can skip the "Oops" moment for good. FEATURES: • Flexible Tracking: Not all items are the same. Track your consumables by time (e.g. "replace Toothbrush every 90 days") or by usage (e.g. "replace Razor after 10 uses"). • Customizable Smart Reminders: Get helpful nudges, not spam. You can customize reminders for replacement day, missed replacements, or even get an early heads up. • Simple Stock Management: Know exactly what you have on hand. The app automatically decreases your stock when you log a replacement. • Low Stock Alerts: Set a "low stock" threshold and get an alert before you run out, so you know exactly when to restock. • Home Screen Widgets: Track your upcoming time-based replacements at a glance without even opening the app. • Replacement History: See a full history of your replacements for any item, helping you spot patterns and plan ahead. • Clean, At-a-Glance View: Your main list shows all your items, their status, and any warnings (like "Past Due" or "Low Stock") in one simple, clear place. TRY FOR FREE, PAY ONCE FOR UNLIMITED: We believe in "try before you buy." We're not fans of subscriptions, and we bet you aren't either. • Essential Version (Free): Track up to 2 consumable items for free to see if SparesBro is right for you. • Unlimited Version (One-Time Purchase): Upgrade once, forever. Get unlimited items and unlock Home Screen widgets. No subscriptions. No ads.

Good days grow from good roots. DayRoot plans your day backward from the moment you need to arrive. Tell it where you're headed and when — it watches live traffic, reads your calendar, and taps you at three calm moments: GET READY — a gentle heads-up while there's still time LEAVE — one clear moment to go, computed from live traffic ARRIVE — on time. Calm. Rooted. WHY DAYROOT IS DIFFERENT • It learns how you actually run. Tend to run late at one place? DayRoot quietly pads your buffer there — and trims it back when you're early. • A real alarm, not just a ping. If your day starts with a drive, DayRoot can wake you at your get-ready time — and if traffic turns bad overnight, it plans with tomorrow morning's traffic, not tonight's. • Your calendar, alive. Events with a place get live travel times; video calls and errands without one become simple tasks - never a fake "leave at". • One root line for the whole day. Trips and tasks grow on a single calm timeline. Finish something and it grows a leaf. CALM BY DESIGN • No account. No ads. No analytics trackers. • Your day stays on your device. • Location only while you use the app — your movements are never tracked. • Full policy: dayroot.app/privacy - Battery-friendly by design. No background GPS, no constant polling - reminders are scheduled with the system, so DayRoot sips power even with nudges on all day. FREE FOREVER The core magic is free, always: your place, exactly when to leave, adaptive learning, and a streak that grows with your on-time days. DAYROOT PRO Every place you care about, full calendar autopilot, tasks and daily routines — $3.99/month or $29.99/year. Good days grow from good roots. Plant one.
