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). With Family Sharing (Monthly/Yearly), your entire household can track chores, pet care, and home maintenance together—each using their own Apple ID, keeping everything fully private.

When did I last do this? LastTap is a dead-simple log for the things you do every once in a while — the ones that don't belong in a to-do list or a habit tracker. Tap once when you do something. The app remembers the date, shows the days since, and learns your usual interval so it can tell you when it's probably due again. No streaks. No guilt. No account required to get started. WHAT PEOPLE TRACK • Home — water and air filters, deep cleaning, defrosting the freezer, smoke alarm batteries • Plants — watering, fertilizing, repotting, pruning • Car — oil changes, tire rotation, inspections, car washes • Pets — grooming, flea treatment, deworming, vet visits • Health — as-needed medication, vitamins, contact lenses, symptoms • Everything else — bed sheets, toothbrush heads, calling your parents HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a task in a few seconds 2. Tap once when you've done it 3. See exactly how many days since the last time 4. After a few entries, LastTap estimates the next due date from your real rhythm OPTIONAL REMINDERS Nothing notifies you by default. If you want a nudge, turn on a reminder for a specific task — on the expected day, or a few days before or after. You decide, task by task. OFFLINE AND PRIVATE Use the app without an account. Your records stay on your device unless you choose cloud backup. No ads. ALSO IN THE APP • A note on every entry — why, how much, with what • Icons and colors so you recognize your tasks at a glance • Full history, sorted by date • Light and dark theme • Available in 11 languages FREE Up to 3 tracked tasks and recent history, free forever. PRO Unlimited tasks, complete history, backup export and import, and optional cloud backup. Your data is yours — the backup file moves between devices, including between iPhone and Android. WHAT LASTTAP IS NOT Not a task manager. Not a habit tracker. Not a calendar. Nothing to check off every day, no streak to protect. Just the answer to one simple question: when was the last time?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LastTap at 5.0 against SinceWhen's 4.3. LastTap also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). SinceWhen's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
