Lastly is a calm, private tracker for everything you do — and everything you wish you did more often. STOP FORGETTING WHAT MATTERS When did you last call your parents? Change your toothbrush? Visit the dentist? Read a good book? Lastly answers these questions in one tap. NOT ANOTHER TO-DO APP To-do lists handle deadlines. Lastly handles the things that don't have deadlines — but should happen regularly. It's a quiet mirror for your life's rhythms. SMART INTERVAL REMINDERS Set a target frequency for each event. Lastly gently nudges you when something is overdue — with progressive urgency, never spam. TWO TYPES OF TRACKING — WITH SMART COLORS • Do More: Call parents, read books, exercise • Do Less: Smoking, staying up late, being late Colors flip intelligently based on type. 47 days without smoking shows deep green (you're doing great!). 47 days without calling Mom shows red (overdue — call her!). No other tracker does this. COMING SOON: SHARE WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS Track shared events with your household, roommates, or partner. Car maintenance, doctor visits, filter changes, kids' haircuts — all in one place. Get notified when something in your shared list is overdue. No competitor offers this.
