Gym every 3 days. Laundry every 7. Call mom every 5. Life runs in cycles, not calendars. N-day tracks the tasks that repeat on your schedule, shows you what's due, and stays out of your way. No streaks to keep alive. No guilt when you skip a day. Just a calm list of what matters next. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY LIVE You've tried apps with streaks. You've tried calendars. You've watched 47 overdue tasks pile up and felt like the problem was you. It wasn't. The system was. Complete a task and its clock resets. Fell behind? Tap "Catch up to today" and the count starts fresh from today, with no backlog. Changed your mind? Undo it. Bad week? Tap "Illness" and your schedule shifts forward. Going away? Tap "Vacation" and your tasks wait for you. HOW IT WORKS • Any interval: every 2 days, every 3 weeks, every 2 months • Completing a task resets its cycle • Buffers move the schedule when life gets in the way • Clear status at a glance: overdue, due today, coming up • One calm daily summary instead of a stream of pings WORKS WITH YOUR APPLE DEVICES • Siri: "Complete my tasks in N-day" • Widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen • Apple Reminders sync • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac • Spotlight search for any task PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads. N-day works offline from the first launch. Your tasks stay on your device and, if you choose, in your iCloud. Export or import your data any time.

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.
