A calm way to remember when you last did something. Changing the sheets, watering a plant, washing the car, replacing a toothbrush, or cleaning an air filter. Keep occasional routines in view without turning them into another demanding habit. SEE ELAPSED TIME AT A GLANCE Since puts the time since your last record front and center. When you are done, tap "Just did it." If it was a mistake, undo it immediately. 8 DISPLAY STYLES Choose Ring, Cards, Timeline, Compact, Grid, Focus, Bars, or Graph. The same records can be spacious, detailed, chronological, or compact—whatever suits the moment. 17 THEMES, INCLUDING GLASS Choose from 17 themes such as Minimal, Soft, Dark, Paper, Sakura, Indigo, Glass, and Night Glass. Go bright with Clear Glass or settle into a quieter nighttime look. Custom Glass can place your own photo behind the translucent cards. A DIFFERENT LOOK FOR LIGHT AND DARK MODE Set separate themes for your iPhone's Light and Dark appearances. Since can shift naturally from morning to night. ADD A NOTE WHEN YOU RECORD Capture context such as "partly done" or "continue here next time." You can also add a date you missed or delete an incorrect record. CHOOSE HOW THE NEXT DATE MOVES Restart the interval from when you completed something, or keep the original cadence. The choice is made per item. One-off dates and items without an interval are supported too. REMIND ONLY WHERE IT HELPS Notifications and delivery times are set per item. Due notifications can also appear as an app icon badge. NO ACCOUNT, ADS, OR TRACKING Your records stay on your device, and the app works offline. There is no advertising or behavioral tracking.
