Stop asking, "When did I last do that?" Standard habit trackers demand daily streaks. But real life doesn't happen every 24 hours. You change the AC filter, wash the pillows, get sick, and track your cycle when it actually happens. When you try to log these irregular events in a normal app, they break your streak and hit you with a red ring of failure. SinceWhen is the "anti-streak" day counter. No guilt, no daily pressure. Just a quiet, stress-free timeline of your actual life. NEW: TRACK MULTI-DAY DURATIONS Not everything happens in a single moment. SinceWhen now supports logging durations from start to finish. • Private Period Tracking: A secure, bloat-free way to track your cycle. No pink themes, no accounts, no data harvesting. • Health & Sickness: Log exactly how many days a fever, migraine, or cold actually lasted. • Travel & Breaks: Track vacations, digital detoxes, or multi-day fasting. Just tap to start and tap to end. Your home screen tracks the current day (e.g., "Day 3"), and your interval charts will elegantly shade the entire duration. TRACK ANY IRREGULAR ROUTINE We built this for the messy, easy-to-forget maintenance tasks that streak-based apps ignore. • Home Maintenance: AC filters, deep cleaning the fridge, washing bedsheets, checking smoke detectors. • Plant & Pet Care: Unpredictable watering schedules, repotting, flea and tick medication, grooming. • Car & Life Admin: Oil changes, tire rotations, haircuts, dental visits. • Health & Self-Care: Irregular vitamins, pain relief, eye drops, replacing contact lenses. • ADHD-Friendly: A zero-shame, zero-streak visual history for executive dysfunction. SMART PREDICTIONS & INSIGHTS You don’t have to set a rigid schedule. • Learns Your Real Rhythm: Our Pattern-Aware engine calculates your natural intervals. If your routine shifts, SinceWhen instantly recognizes your new rhythm and adjusts expectations. • Interactive Calendar: Tap any day on your Insights grid to see exactly what you did and the notes you left. • Due at a Glance: See what is expected today, tomorrow, or overdue via smart, zero-pressure nudges. • Custom Time Display: Tailor exactly how time is counted—choose strict 24-hour periods or calendar midnights crossed. LOG IT IN SECONDS When your hands are full, you don’t want to tap through an app. • Interactive Widgets: 1-tap logging directly from your Home Screen or Lock Screen. • Siri Integration: Just say, "Hey Siri, log the fridge cleaning," and it saves in the background. • Apple Shortcuts: Build custom automations, or trigger logs from Back Tap. YOUR DATA, IN YOUR HANDS Your life is private, and your data stays on your device. • 100% Private: No accounts, no logins, zero data tracking. • iCloud Sync: Seamlessly syncs your logs, pins, and hidden items across your iPhone and iPad. • Direct File Access: Auto-backups save directly to your iCloud Drive Files folder (SinceWhen_Latest.json) so you can build your own custom scripts. SINCEWHEN PRO Start completely free. Track your first 3 events forever, no credit card needed. Upgrade to unlock unlimited events, full iCloud sync, Siri logging, and interactive insights: • Monthly: Includes Apple Family Sharing. • Yearly: Includes Apple Family Sharing (Best subscription value). • Lifetime: A simple one-time purchase to own it forever (Family Sharing not included).

DueNext helps you stay on top of recurring responsibilities for the things that matter in your life. Organize maintenance and routine care around the assets you care about — like your home, car, pets, appliances, and more. Each asset has its own status, giving you a clear view of how well things are being maintained and what needs attention next. The app focuses primarily on recurring maintenance — the types of tasks that should be done regularly to keep things running smoothly. Tasks automatically calculate their next due date based on when they were completed, helping schedules stay aligned with real life. DueNext helps reduce the mental load of remembering routine responsibilities while giving you a clear overview of what’s been done and what’s coming up. Asset-based organization: Tasks belong to the things they relate to. View the maintenance status of each asset individually and understand what needs attention at a glance. Recurring maintenance tracking: Create tasks that repeat every few days, weeks, months, or years. DueNext automatically calculates the next due date based on when the task was last completed. Shared responsibility: Collaborate with other people on shared assets. See who completed each task and when it was handled so everyone stays informed. Completion history and visibility: Track when tasks were completed and maintain a clear history of maintenance activity over time. Flexible task types: While the main focus is recurring maintenance, DueNext also supports: • One-time tasks for responsibilities that only need to happen once • Logging-only tasks with no due dates or deadlines, allowing you to simply record when something was done and keep a history of those activities Designed for real-life upkeep: DueNext is designed specifically for maintenance-style responsibilities tied to the things that matter in everyday life, helping you stay consistent with the routines that keep them properly cared for.
