PastDue tracks the recurring tasks that keep your life running smoothly — and nudges you when they fall behind. Unlike calendar reminders, PastDue works like a dashboard. It shows how long it's been since you last did something and whether you're on track, due soon, or overdue. Think "oil change due in 500 miles" — not another calendar alert. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Create tasks for anything on a recurring cycle — every 2 weeks, every 3 months, whatever fits. Mark them done and the cycle resets automatically. • Change bedsheets — every 2 weeks • Replace toothbrush head — every 3 months • Rotate mattress — every 6 months • Change HVAC filters — every 6 months • Oil change — every 6 months SEE YOUR STATUS AT A GLANCE Color-coded indicators show what's on track, what's due soon, and what's overdue. Sort by status, priority, due date, or category. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Escalating reminders that get more urgent the longer a task goes unfinished — on the due date, 1 day overdue, 3 days, and 7 days. FLEXIBLE CONTROLS Skip, snooze, or pause any task. Add notes and set priority levels. PastDue adapts to your schedule, not the other way around. GET STARTED FAST Browse suggested tasks for common home, health, auto, and personal maintenance — add them with a single tap. BUILT FOR PRIVACY All data stays on your device. No account required. No tracking.
