When did you last change the sheets? Water the plants? Call Mom? Replace the toothbrush? Nobody remembers. Last Time does. Tap Done when you do something. Last Time keeps every date, learns how often you really do it and tells you when it's due again. No streaks, no guilt, no account. SEE WHAT'S DUE AT A GLANCE Your list is sorted by what needs you first: overdue, due today, coming up. Each item shows how long ago you did it and a ring that fills as it gets closer. IT LEARNS YOUR RHYTHM Set a rhythm like "every 2 weeks", or let Last Time suggest one from your history. See your average gap, how often you're on time, your longest stretch and a calendar of every day you did it in the last six months. DONE FROM ANYWHERE - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with a Done button - Control Center and the Action Button on iOS 18 - Siri and Shortcuts: "When did I last water the plants in Last Time?" EVERY TIME, REMEMBERED Forgot to tap Done yesterday? Log an earlier time. Fix any date, remove a mistake, or add a short note to any time โ€” "used the new filter", "vet said all good". REMINDERS THAT FIT Get a reminder on the day something is due, and again if it's still not done. Or choose one daily summary instead of a notification per item. Pause seasonal things like the pool or winter tires and they wait quietly. START IN SECONDS 30 ready-made ideas for home, car, pets, health, people and you โ€” each with a sensible rhythm. Or create your own with an emoji and a category. YOUR DATA, YOUR FILE Back up everything to one file and restore it on a new iPhone. Export your full history as a CSV for Numbers or Excel. FREE Track 5 items. Learned rhythms, editing past dates, widgets that show what's due, asking Siri and backups are all free. ONE PAYMENT UNLOCKS - Unlimited items - Rhythm insights and the activity calendar - Reminders, follow-ups and the daily summary - Tap Done from widgets, Control Center and Siri - Categories, item notes and notes on every time - CSV export One payment. No subscription. Family Sharing supported. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Everything stays on your iPhone; the app makes no network request except to Apple for your purchase.
