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. SMART REMINDERS • Threshold reminders when an item crosses your limit • Recurring reminders — every N days • Date-based reminders for appointments and one-off events LIST VIEW & HISTORY • Switch to a clean list view sorted by urgency, category, or name • 90-day completion heatmap at a glance (Pro) • 7-day week view checklist for your routine (Pro) CHARTS & STATISTICS (PRO) • Current and longest streaks for every item • Weekly and monthly completion trends • 12-week bar chart — spot patterns and stay motivated SET GOALS • Link multiple items to a goal ("Morning routine", "Stay clean") • Track progress across linked habits LAPSED PRO — UNLOCK EVERYTHING • Unlimited items, categories, and goals • All 3 visual styles: dots, balloons, and hot air balloons • All 10 accent colours to personalise your canvas • Charts, statistics, and detailed history views • Data export and import • iOS home screen widgets • Up to 3 reminders per item DESIGNED TO BE CALM • Warm cream light mode, deep dark mode • Glassmorphism design with soft blur effects • Smooth animations and haptic feedback • No ads.

The last time you did anything. How long since you watered the plants, changed the filter, fed the cat, changed the oil, took the meds, cleaned the litter box. Tap the widget on your Home Screen. The counter resets to zero. That's the app. HOW IT WORKS Add an event. Put the widget on your Home Screen. When you do the thing, tap the widget. The counter goes back to zero and starts again. No app to open. No menus. Nothing to type. A haptic confirms it and you're done. WHAT PEOPLE TRACK • Plants watered, filters changed, oil changed • Meds taken, contact lenses swapped, supplements • The litter box, the dog's flea treatment • Bins out, sheets washed, the gutters cleared • Since you last called your mum WIDGETS FIRST Small, medium and Lock Screen. Each widget can follow a different event: touch and hold → Edit Widget → pick one. WHAT IT COSTS Three events are free. Forever, not a trial. Need more? One payment and that's it. No subscription.
