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.

Some things don't fit on a calendar. They just need doing every so often. When did you last change the water filter? Call your grandmother? Back up your photos? Service the car? Wash the sheets? Since is one simple screen that answers that. Add the things you lose track of, and see exactly how long it's been since each one. Did it? Tap Done and the clock resets to zero. • ONE GLANCE: everything you're tracking, the most overdue at the top, each with a plain "3 days ago / last month / 95 days" and a green-amber-red dot. • TAP DONE: one tap resets the timer. That's the whole loop. • GENTLE NUDGES: set an interval (weekly, monthly, yearly…) and Since reminds you when something's due, at a sensible time of day. Tap the reminder to open the item, or mark it done right from the notification. Optional, never naggy. • SEE YOUR RHYTHM: open any item for its history, how often you tend to do it, and your longest gap. • BACK UP YOUR DATA: export everything and restore it on a new phone or after reinstalling. Your history stays yours. • STARTER IDEAS: tap to add common ones in seconds, or make your own with any emoji.
