Most time tools start with good intentions and a perfect plan. JustNow starts with what actually happened. Log what you did. Keep what you thought. See both in one timeline. Record activities in plain language and save thoughts as they come. An hour of reading, a conversation, an idea after a movie—keep the things that make up your day, without planning it all in advance. RECORD IN PLAIN LANGUAGE • Type or say “read for an hour” or “coffee with Sam.” • Turn activities into entries with start and end times, an emoji, and a category. • Record something you just finished, or specify a time to log it afterward. • Use on-device voice transcription instead of typing. • Let Apple Intelligence work out times and categories on supported devices. • JustNow remembers your category and emoji choices. KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS • Jot down an idea, a feeling, or a moment you want to remember. • Each thought has its own timestamp and appears in your timeline alongside your activities. • One thought each day is free. Add more per day or write about earlier days with JustNow Unlimited. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES • Follow your day in a simple timeline and review how you spent your time. • Fill in the gaps you want to remember, or start fresh from now. • Keep activities organized with automatic categories. Rename them, merge them, or add your own. MAKE RECORDING EFFORTLESS • Log frequent activities with one tap from a Home Screen widget. • Check your ongoing counter at a glance. • Export your records as JSON anytime. JUSTNOW UNLIMITED Go beyond today. Revisit past days, add more thoughts per day and to earlier days, explore long-term trends, search your history, create unlimited custom categories, sync across your devices, and import your exported JSON on another device. Choose the option that suits you: • Monthly subscription: US$2.99 per month. • Lifetime access: US$9.99 as a one-time purchase. No recurring fees. Both options unlock the same Unlimited features.
