DayPace is a calm, personal work-hours tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. Track your workday without turning it into a spreadsheet. Start work, pause for breaks, resume, and finish with one tap. Forgot to tap? Add the time you meant with a simple “At…” entry. DayPace gives you a clear daily dashboard with your current state, worked time, break time, remaining time, target progress, and a complete-by estimate. Set your daily target, then let the app keep the record clean. The timeline turns your day into something you can actually understand: work blocks, break blocks, a Now marker, and a target marker. Tap a block or entry to safely edit or delete a mistaken time. On Apple Watch, DayPace is built for quick wrist-based tracking. Start work, start breaks, resume, and finish without pulling out your phone. A Watch complication shows today’s progress from the watch face. Your hours stay backed up with private iCloud backup and recovery. Phone and Watch sync are designed to be clear and reviewable, with simple conflict handling when device timelines disagree. DayPace also includes a Data & Backup screen with iCloud status, pending events, CSV export, JSON backup export, and JSON import. DayPace Pro unlocks tracking, Apple Watch access, backup, and timeline editing. If Pro access lapses, your saved hours remain visible and exportable. Simple by design: one job, clear hours, no clients, projects, invoices, or payroll clutter. Your workday, clearly kept.

When did you last change the air filter? Water the succulents? Call your mom? Ago answers one question: how long has it been? Tap once to reset. That's it. THE GAP BETWEEN A TO-DO LIST AND A CALENDAR Not a streak tracker. Not a to-do list. Ago lives in the gap between both - for things with a rough cadence you want to honor, not a fixed schedule. Car tires. The dentist. The friend you keep meaning to call. Plants that need water every couple of weeks or so. NO GUILT TRIPS. JUST THE NUMBER. Ago shows you how long it's been and gets out of the way. No judgment. No chain to break. No notifications nagging you. Open it when you want to know. The "three months?!" moment is the whole product. You see the number, you decide what to do about it. ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show the live elapsed time, counting up in real time - Log something done right from the widget, without opening the app - A soft deadline turns a card overdue when it's been too long - a quiet cue, never an alarm BUILT TO BE EXACT, NOT FUZZY - See the precise time since you last did it, down to the day - Open any item for a monthly calendar of its history - Give each thing an icon and a color so the list reads at a glance WHAT PEOPLE TRACK WITH AGO - Home maintenance: air filter, furnace, gutters - Plant care and watering - Car service and tires - Medication and supplements - Friends and family: how long since you called? - Pet grooming and vet visits SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No accounts. No ads. Nothing to sign in to, nothing to manage. Your data syncs privately across your devices with iCloud, and stays yours. PAY ONCE. KEEP FOREVER. One-time purchase unlocks everything. No subscription. Ever. Pick a color, choose an icon, set a soft deadline, and Ago tells you when something's been a while. No alarm, no nag. Just a card that says it's time.
