ago52 helps you organize recurring household tasks and maintenance for your bike and car. Choose when a task is due again: after a set amount of time, a distance traveled, or whichever comes first. Whether you are cleaning the dryer filter, caring for window seals, or oiling your bike chain, create the task once and record each completion. Dates and notes stay in the task’s history so you can check them later. For bikes, cars, and other equipment, you can also log one-off changes without creating a recurring task. For example, record which tires you fitted and the odometer reading at the time. • See what is due now and prioritize important tasks. • Organize tasks by household, area, and equipment. Share a household with others while keeping personal entries private. • Pause tasks temporarily, such as while you are on vacation. • Optionally connect the system health service or a supported fitness service for recorded workouts and cycling distance. Enter a car’s odometer reading manually; you can do the same for a bike. • See upcoming tasks on your Home Screen with widgets. You can use ago52 on your own without creating a separate account. Sharing a household requires the device’s built-in sign-in option. The optional health data connection uses the system’s health data framework: matching new workouts can complete tasks automatically, and cycling distance can update a private bike’s odometer. ago52 does not write data to the system health service. ago52 Pro is available as an auto-renewable monthly or yearly subscription and as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscription terms and billing periods are shown in the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions through your device account.
