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

Stop paying for food you throw away. refrigerDATE turns your iPhone into a food-expiration radar. Scan a grocery barcode and the app identifies the product by name, then flows straight into reading the printed expiration date — even scrunched packaging stamps like JUL1227. No date on the label? Say it out loud, type it, or log the purchase date instead. YOUR WHOLE FRIDGE AND PANTRY, AT A GLANCE Three little calendars sit at the top of your list — green for fresh, amber for expiring within 3 days, red for expired. Tap one to filter. Drag them into any order. It's a stoplight for your groceries. REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY REMIND You're notified 3 days before an item expires, again the day before, and again the day of — at 9 AM, when you can still do something about it. Optional daily reminders keep nagging (politely) while an expired item stays in your list. A CALENDAR BUILT FOR FOOD Browse everything you own by day, week, or month with stoplight colors on every date. Add any item to your iOS Calendar with one tap — or flip a switch and every dated item syncs automatically. EVERY FRIDGE AND PANTRY YOU OWN Kitchen, pantry, garage, basement, deep freeze, camper — or invent your own locations. Rename them any time; the items inside come along. Filter with one tap and see what's expiring soon across all of them. ON YOUR WRIST, TOO The Apple Watch app keeps your list on your arm. Check what's expiring from the grocery aisle, add an item by voice, or fix a date from the couch — everything syncs back to your iPhone automatically. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN The Expiring Soon widget shows what's about to expire without opening the app — in small, medium, and large sizes, plus Lock Screen widgets. Red means expired, amber means soon, green means fresh. IN YOUR LANGUAGE refrigerDATE speaks 11 languages — and product names from scanned barcodes appear in your language when the food database knows them. FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE TO UNLOCK Track up to 3 items free. refrigerDATE Unlimited is a one-time purchase — no subscription, no account — that removes the limit and adds the widget. Scanning, reminders, calendars, locations, and the watch app are free either way. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your items live on your device (and your watch). No account, no tracking. Product names come from Open Food Facts, a free, open, community-maintained food database. Scan it, Snap it, Done!
