Some things don't have a deadline. They just come back around. Roundish is a different kind of reminder. No calendar dates. No push notifications nagging you at 9am. Just simple rings that slowly drain as time passes. When a ring is empty, you know it's been a while. Tap to reset. That's it. WHAT MAKES ROUNDISH DIFFERENT • No dates, no schedule. You set an interval like "every 7 days" and the ring tracks how long it's been. Whether you do it after 5 days or 10, that's fine. It's roundish. • One tap to reset. Did the laundry? Tap. Watered the plants? Tap. Called your parents? Tap. Takes less than a second. • Home screen widget. Small, medium, and large widgets show your rings at a glance. Tap a ring to reset it right from your home screen. You'll rarely need to open the app. • No guilt. Overdue doesn't mean failure. The ring just shows you how long it's been. Reset whenever you're ready. even if it's late. • Beautiful and calm. Warm earth-tone colors, a breathing background, and serif typography. Roundish feels like a journal, not a productivity tool.
