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.

Sometimes it's hard to start cleaning. You stand in the doorway of a messy room, and there is so much to do that your brain shuts down and you do nothing. TidyCalm is the solution to the overwhelm. Take a few photos of the room, and TidyCalm turns the mess into a short, easy-to-do list of cleaning steps. Each task includes a rough time estimate with a timer to keep you on track. The big, impossible job becomes just a handful of small, manageable tasks. How it works 1. Snap a photo. Take a few photos of the mess in a single room with your phone's camera. That's all you need to do. 2. Get your steps. TidyCalm reads the room and gives you a short, specific to-do list, like "clear the dishes from the desk," "wipe down the counter," or "collect and throw away the trash," each with its own time estimate. 3. Clean at your pace. Work through the to-do list one task at a time with a timer to keep you mindful, not frantic. The order does not matter, and you can stop whenever you like. The task suggestions and time estimates adapt to how you actually work, so they get more accurate over time. There are no streaks to keep and nothing to lose if you skip a day. You can clean one corner and be finished until you're ready to do more. Your privacy Photos stay private. They live on your device and are sent for analysis only to generate your list. Photos are never stored on our servers and are never used to train AI models. Location and other details are stripped from each photo before it leaves your phone. You can export or delete everything we hold, whenever you want. TidyCalm asks you to sign in with Apple so your rooms and history follow you between devices. For when starting is the hardest part.
