Whenly makes time visible. It answers three questions: ⢠How long have you stayed away from an unwanted habit or addiction? ⢠How long until an important date? ⢠When did you last do something? PROTECT YOUR PROGRESS A Without counter shows how long it has been since you stopped or last had a setback, and keeps every attempt in history. Examples: going without smoking, alcohol, sugar, social media, gaming, or impulse purchases. COUNT DOWN TO WHAT MATTERS An Until counter shows how much time remains until a future date or repeating event. Examples: birthdays, anniversaries, trips, exams, deadlines, meetings, and holidays. REMEMBER THE LAST TIME A Since counter remembers when you last did something and keeps the history of every completion. Examples: calling family, working out, watering plants, changing a filter, visiting a doctor, or returning to a favorite place. FEATURES ⢠Goals, thresholds, groups, and history ⢠Calendar, statistics, widgets, and custom reminders ⢠Optional iCloud sync and Face ID app lock ⢠Full JSON export and conflict-safe import ⢠Native iPhone and iPad experience PRIVATE AND FREE Whenly works without an account or internet connection.
