The app for your most important moments. Some events are more than just entries in a calendar. Your next holiday. The birth of a child. Your own wedding. Your first marathon. Completing a further education course. The start of a new chapter in life. These are the moments we work towards, look forward to and remember for a lifetime. That’s exactly what Timelith is for. Timelith is more than just a traditional countdown app. The app makes time visible: as a countdown, a retrospective, a timeline, a project journey or a personal chapter in your life. Experiencing time Look forward to upcoming events or reflect on how long ago special moments took place. As well as traditional countdowns and count-ups, you can also view the time remaining in different ways – for example, in heartbeats, breaths, steps, hours of sleep or meals. Because sometimes a different perspective can change the way we perceive time. Putting time into context Our lives aren’t made up of individual appointments. With the personal timeline, Timelith weaves past memories, current events and future milestones into a single story. This reveals which moments have shaped you – and which still lie ahead. Seeing time as a journey Some things aren’t a countdown, but a journey. With ‘chapters of life’, you can group related events into a personal timeline: for example, your karate journey, a degree, building a house or a new phase in your life. You choose a tag such as ‘karate’, and Timelith constructs a journey through your life from all the relevant events. You decide for yourself whether an event was a milestone or a highlight – the journey will reflect this accordingly. Shaping time Big goals are achieved step by step. Plan projects with your own milestones and see at any time whether your progress is still on track with the remaining schedule. Whether it’s building a house, further education, a marathon, setting up a business or your next big idea – Timelith supports you all the way to your goal. Preserving time Not every memory is meant for today. With time capsules, you can attach messages and photos to events or milestones and seal them until a date of your choosing. Some messages are at their best when they resurface at exactly the right time.

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.
