Some things don't fit on a calendar. They just need doing every so often. When did you last change the water filter? Call your grandmother? Back up your photos? Service the car? Wash the sheets? Since is one simple screen that answers that. Add the things you lose track of, and see exactly how long it's been since each one. Did it? Tap Done and the clock resets to zero. β€’ ONE GLANCE: everything you're tracking, the most overdue at the top, each with a plain "3 days ago / last month / 95 days" and a green-amber-red dot. β€’ TAP DONE: one tap resets the timer. That's the whole loop. β€’ GENTLE NUDGES: set an interval (weekly, monthly, yearly…) and Since reminds you when something's due, at a sensible time of day. Tap the reminder to open the item, or mark it done right from the notification. Optional, never naggy. β€’ SEE YOUR RHYTHM: open any item for its history, how often you tend to do it, and your longest gap. β€’ BACK UP YOUR DATA: export everything and restore it on a new phone or after reinstalling. Your history stays yours. β€’ STARTER IDEAS: tap to add common ones in seconds, or make your own with any emoji.
