How long has it been since you called Mom? Went to the gym? Watered the plants? Lapsed turns "how long since…?" into something you can see. Items float across a visual canvas — drifting further from today the longer you wait. One tap logs it done, and it springs right back. No spreadsheets. No checklists. Just a calm, colourful way to stay on top of what matters. VISUAL TRACKING THAT FEELS DIFFERENT • Items appear as colourful dots on a scrollable canvas • The further they drift from "today", the more overdue they are • A threshold line marks your limit — cross it and you know you've lapsed • Unlock balloons and hot air balloon styles with Pro TRACK ANYTHING • Social — friend catch-ups, family calls, date nights • Health — gym, dentist, medication, self-care • Chores — watering plants, laundry, cleaning, car maintenance • Habits — reading, meditation, journaling • Organise with colour-coded categories and emoji icons QUIT BAD HABITS TOO • Flip to quitting mode — items float upward the longer you stay clean • Watch your streak grow as days without smoking, junk food, or doomscrolling stack up • Set goal lines and celebrate milestones • You don't want to reset that counter. And that's the point.
