Ever stood in the shower thinking "wait… when did I last replace this?" Dutiful is the simplest way to track the things you do every so often - and never wonder again. Add a task once (from a library of 120+ ready-made ones, or your own), tell Dutiful how often it should happen, and tap "Did it!" whenever you do it. That's the whole app. It quietly keeps the clock and nudges you - gently, on time - when something's due. PERFECT FOR • Health - dentist, hygienist, eye exam, blood test, meds • Home - water filter, air filter, smoke alarms, deep clean • Car - wash, oil change, tire pressure, service • Personal, pets, hobbies, tech, and life admin - passports, taxes, insurance WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Log in one tap - or swipe, or long-press. It's rare, so it's never in your way. • Reminders that actually fire, right when it's due. • Home & Lock Screen widgets so you can glance at what's coming up. • Colorful, friendly, emoji-first. Never naggy. • No account, no ads, your data stays on your device.
