Ago is the honest number. Not a habit app that guilts you, not a countdown app that nags you — one calm counter for everything you're keeping track of. How long since you last called your mum. How many days until your passport expires. How many glasses of water today. How long the rice has been cooking. Ago just tells you the truth, and gets out of the way. FOUR WAYS TO COUNT • Since — days since it last happened. Logging it starts the count over. • Until — a countdown to a date that matters. • Live — a running timer, with alerts, that keeps going even when the app is closed. • Count — a simple tally that only ever goes up. 1, 2, 3. BUILT FOR HABITS, NOT JUST DATES See your current streak, your best streak, and how consistent you've really been this week — not just a number, but the shape of it. A 26-week activity grid shows your whole rhythm at a glance. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK Home Screen widgets and Lock Screen widgets keep your counters visible without opening the app. Live counters run right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, ticking in real time. One tap logs an entry from the widget itself. YOUR MONTH, AT A GLANCE A calendar view shows every logged entry across every counter, so you can see exactly which days you showed up — and which ones you didn't. WORTH SHARING Turn any counter into a designed card — Story, Post, or Square — in your own theme, ready for Instagram or iMessage. NEVER LOSE IT Export your full history to a file you control, and restore it any time, on any device, even after deleting the app. Nothing about this depends on an account you could lose access to. PICK YOUR OWN NUMBER Six curated themes, and an app icon you choose yourself — any number from 1 to 99. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. Everything you track stays on your device — the names, the notes, the dates never leave your phone. Ago reports anonymous, non-personal usage statistics (which screens are used, whether a purchase completed) so we know what to improve, and you can turn that off in Settings at any time.
