Not everything is a daily habit. SinceWhen tells you how long it's been since the last haircut, oil change, vet visit, or dose, and when it's likely due next. One tap to log. No streaks. No guilt. No account. HOW IT WORKS • Name something you do now and then • Tap to log it, from the app, a widget, your Lock Screen, or Siri • SinceWhen learns your rhythm and shows what's due BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Home & car: AC filters, oil changes, smoke detectors, deep cleans • Plants & pets: watering, fertilizing, flea treatments, vet visits • Health & self-care: as-needed medication, vitamins, skincare, dentist • Life admin: haircuts, calling family, reviewing subscriptions • ADHD-friendly: a zero-shame history for time blindness SMART, GENTLE PREDICTIONS SinceWhen studies the gaps between your logs and says things like "Usually every 6 weeks" and "Expected tomorrow". Pattern aware skips one-off long gaps, like a week away, and follows your real routine. Optional nudges arrive only when something is actually due, and you can log straight from the notification.

Decide dinner once. Enjoy your week together. Plan a week around your household’s tastes, the time you have, and ingredients already in your kitchen. Forkboard turns your dinners into recipes and one organized grocery list. ONE TABLE, EVERYONE'S TASTES Family brings up to six taste profiles into one household board. Add profiles for children and partners, including people without their own account. Set dietary preferences, dislikes, and allergens for your table. Always check recipe ingredients and product labels for your needs. A WEEK THAT FITS YOUR LIFE Plan seven dinners around your tastes, dietary preferences, available time, and ingredients. Choose quick nights or leave room for a longer cook. Swap a dinner, hold the ones you want to keep, or choose from saved recipes. FROM BOARD TO TABLE Open a dinner for ingredients, quantities, and step-by-step instructions. Save recipes to return to, mark a dinner cooked, and rate the wins and misses to help shape future suggestions. Nutrition figures are estimates. YOUR GROCERY LIST, ALREADY STARTED Get a list grouped by aisle, with quantities combined and pantry ingredients accounted for. Check off items as you shop or share the list from the app. START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE Track pantry ingredients and use-soon dates. Take a kitchen photo, choose one from your library, or scan a grocery barcode. Review the suggested ingredients before adding them. Photo scans have plan-based limits. A LITTLE PREP, A LIGHTER WEEK Plan breakfasts and lunches ahead with a guided meal-prep session. Choose your meals, work through shopping and cooking, then portion and pack for the days ahead. IN SYNC, ON EVERY SCREEN Plan on iPhone, open your board on iPad, or continue on the web with the same account.
