Clutter doesn’t pile up in a single weekend. It creeps in slowly, one day at a time. This is the antidote. Welcome to OneLess—the distraction-free habit builder designed to help you reclaim your space without the overwhelming stress of a massive weekend purge. The philosophy is simple: you don’t need to clean your entire house today. You just need to get one item out the door. Whether it's an old pair of shoes, a duplicate kitchen utensil, or an expired coupon, every single piece you let go brings you closer to a lighter, more intentional home. How it Works: Pick an Outcast: Find one thing in your environment that no longer serves a purpose. Log the Release: Track what it was, categorize it, and record how you disposed of it—whether you trashed, donated, recycled, or sold it. Build Your Streak: Log your daily removal to protect your momentum and watch your habits compound over time. Key Features: Frictionless Daily Logging: Quick, minimalist interface built to log your progress in under ten seconds. Habit Tracking & Streaks: Maintain your daily momentum with live streak tracking and milestone awards. Visual Progress Analytics: Beautiful, clear charts that break down exactly what kind of items you are letting go and where they are going. Gentle Daily Nudges: Fully customizable, non-intrusive daily notifications scheduled around your life to keep your streak alive. Privacy First: Your data is yours. OneLess runs entirely on your device with no hidden tracking, accounts, or cloud data harvesting. The slow creep of physical stuff stops here. Download OneLess today and start building a lighter space, one piece at a time.
Asterism

This is one week. Asterism draws your life as dots — one for every week, 52 to a row, one row for every year of a 90-year horizon. The weeks you have lived are filled with light. The current week breathes. The rest is open sky. Enter your birthdate. That is the only thing Asterism ever asks for. Then mark the moments that mattered. The first date. The big move. The week your child arrived. The week you said goodbye. Eight colors for eight kinds of moments, and the grid becomes a constellation no atlas contains. An asterism is a constellation people named themselves, because it mattered to them. This one is yours. WHAT YOU GET — Your whole life on one screen. No scrolling. It already fits. — Pinch from the full sky down to a single week. — A loupe that finds any week — and the moments it holds — under your thumb. — A quiet list of everything you have marked, year by year. — Poster and wallpaper export. Anonymous dots by default; your colors if you choose. — One optional Monday note: "Week 1,635 begins. 3,045 remain." — Full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion support. — Dark night-sky by default. A paper-and-ink light mode when you want it. WHAT YOU WON'T FIND No streaks. No badges. No quotes of the day. No countdowns. No predictions about how long you have. A blank week is still a lived week, and the app stays silent between them. PRIVATE, PROVABLY Everything stays on this device. There is no account. There is no server. The app has no network access at all — the promise is built into the binary, not the privacy policy. Your life exports as a plain, readable file whenever you want it. FREE Every feature included. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Nothing to unlock. Ninety years is an estimate, not a promise. The dots just make it visible. What you do with the empty ones is the point.
