Good things take time. Real progress is built through small things done consistently — it won’t feel like much, until it does. Things take time is an app for tracking what matters, the small things, and seeing how they compound over time. KEY FEATURES • Track anything From habits and routines to personal metrics, notes, and daily actions — build trackers that fit your life, not the other way around. • See everything side by side Most apps show one tracker at a time, which hides the bigger picture. This one shows them all together so you can see patterns across your month. • Your month at a glance See how small things add up across your month, so you can stay consistent and notice real progress. • Built for ease of use Tracking should feel effortless. Everything is designed to be fast, simple, and intuitive. • Understand your patterns Detailed analytics for every tracker to help you uncover trends and better understand your progress over time. • Privacy first Your data stays on your device or in your iCloud. Nothing is collected, and nothing is tracked. Progress is often invisible in the moment. Things take time was built to make it visible — by showing how small things add up over time.

Evenlist

Overdue reminders pile up quietly. Evenlist helps you deal with them one at a time, in about two minutes. Each overdue reminder gets its own card, and you make one simple choice: • Done: you already did it. It's marked complete. • Move: it still matters. Pick tomorrow, next Saturday, next Monday, next month or any date. • Let it pass: you're not doing it anymore. It's marked complete, not deleted. • Skip for now: not ready to decide. Nothing changes. Every choice is saved straight to Apple Reminders. Nothing to import, no second list to keep up. A SMALL DOSE, NEVER "CLEAR EVERYTHING" Review 3, 5 or 7 reminders at a time and stop whenever you like. A short summary shows what changed, and Recent activity lets you undo a change for up to 7 days. GENTLE BY DESIGN No streaks. No red badges. No guilt. Just an optional evening reminder at the time you choose. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your reminders stay on your iPhone. No account, no server, no ads, no tracking. The App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected". MADE FOR THE REMINDERS YOU ALREADY HAVE • Choose which of your lists to include. • Repeating reminders are safe: you can mark them done or skip them, so a series is never changed by accident. • In English, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). TRY IT FREE Use every feature free for 7 days. Then unlock Evenlist with a one-time purchase. No subscription, and nothing is charged automatically when the trial ends. Your stats, Recent activity and undo stay available either way. Requires iOS 17 or later and access to Reminders.
