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 elapsed time at a glance (Pro) - 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. With Pro, your items sync privately across your devices with iCloud. PAY ONCE. KEEP FOREVER. Free for up to 3 items. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited items, widgets, iCloud sync, notes, and all colors and icons. 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.

When did you last do it? DoneDate remembers so you don't have to. Changing the bedsheets, descaling the kettle, flea treatment for the dog, rotating the tyres, calling your parents.
