Instantly see how much time has passed since you last did something so you can make confident daily decisions without guessing. Did you empty the trash 2 days ago or 10 days ago? Knowing the exact time elapsed gives you the context to make the right call without relying on memory. Whether you need a reliable last time tracker, a flexible routine log, or a clear visual of your home, pet, and health statuses, DoneAgo keeps your life organized. HOW IT WORKS Tap to update: After you finish an activity, tap the card to update its status. The timer resets and records the exact timestamp automatically. Track by states: Define custom states that change over time (e.g., Cleaned/Dirty, Fed/Pending, Done/Due). Notes: Attach specific notes to any logs so you remember the exact context later. OTHER FEATURES: Photos: Attach a photo to any log so you can see what actually happened at a glance, not just rely on memory. Automation: Set a time threshold per state. When time runs out, DoneAgo automatically advances the status on its own (e.g., Watered automatically moves to Needs Water after 3 days). Widgets: Pin your status tracker directly to your screen. Check how long it's been and update it with a single tap without opening the app. Apple Watch: See how long it's been right on your wrist, and tap a tracker to log it without reaching for your phone. Logging from the watch is included with Premium. Notifications: Receive alerts only when a tracker has been stuck in a certain status for too long. Your rules, your thresholds. Visual History Log: View historical patterns over time to see the natural rhythm of your routines. Fully Customizable: Organize everything by custom categories (Home, Health, Pets, Hobbies). Ad-Free Experience: No annoying ads or pop-ups interrupting your dashboard. Stop guessing when you last did something. Open DoneAgo, look at the relative time, and make the right decision for your day. Privacy Policy: https://doneago.com/pages/privacy Terms and Conditions: https://doneago.com/pages/terms
