How do I keep track of when I last did something?
Add the activity once, then tap it whenever you do it. Ago keeps the count from that moment: watered the plants, changed the filter, called your mother. You see how long it has been at a glance.
When did I last water the plants?
Ago is a quiet little tracker for the things that slip your mind. Tap once when you do something, and Ago remembers how long it's been, nudging you before it's overdue.
Two ways to track
Some things repeat. Some you just want to remember.
Ago handles both without making you think about it. Every activity gets its own colour, emoji, and history.
Tracked periods
Things on a rhythm
Give it a cadence, like every 8 hours, every day, or every two weeks, and Ago shows a countdown ring that fills as the deadline nears.
- A ring that drifts from calm to urgent
- Optional reminder right when it's due
- Hour-based or day-based, your call
Open activities
Things with no schedule
No deadline, no pressure, just a running answer to “how long has it been?” Perfect for the things you only notice once they've drifted too far.
- “5 hours ago”, “3 days ago”, at a glance
- Swipe to log the moment you do it
- Turn it into a tracked period any time
Made yours
Ago takes on your colour
Give an activity a colour and the whole screen quietly picks it up: the ring, the glow, the accents. Nothing chosen yet? Ago stays a calm grayscale.
Tap a colour, and the whole page takes it on.
Everything in the app
Small app, thoughtful details
Built natively for iOS with the touches that make a habit tracker something you'll actually keep open.
Urgency you can feel
Each ring shifts from fresh iris to warning red as time runs out, so you read a whole list in a single glance.
A history heatmap
Open any activity to see a GitHub-style heatmap of every time you've logged it. Streaks and gaps, made visible.
Gentle reminders
Turn them on per activity. A quiet local notification arrives exactly when something's due, with sound or silent as you prefer.
iCloud sync
Everything syncs through your own private iCloud. Open another iPhone and it's already there, with no sign-up and no server of ours.
Stats that matter
Average gap, longest gap, and total count: the simple numbers that tell you whether a habit is really sticking.
Colours & emoji
Give every activity a personality. Pick from the palette, save your own custom colours, and drop on any emoji.
Quit mode · Pro
Stopped something? Watch the days add up.
Turn any activity into a counter that grows instead of running out. Set a goal, pass the milestones, and keep your longest run in sight.
- A counter that starts the day you stop, and only grows
- Goals and milestones, with a quiet notification when you reach one
- Streak, clean days and your longest run, all in one view
- Slipped? Start over without erasing the record you built
How it works
Three taps and you're tracking
No onboarding wizard, no streak guilt. Add the thing, tap when you do it, glance whenever you wonder.
1
Add an activity
Name it, give it an emoji and a colour. Set a repeat period, or leave it open if it has no schedule.
2
Tap when you do it
Swipe right on the row, or hit the button. Ago timestamps it and resets the clock. That's the whole interaction.
3
Glance any time
The home screen always shows how long it's been. Tracked periods nudge you; open ones just wait, patiently.
Your habits are nobody's business but yours
Ago has no account and no analytics. Your data lives on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud. It never touches a server we run, because there isn't one.
No sign-in
No analytics or tracking
No ads
No data sold or shared
Private iCloud only
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the two tracking modes?
Some things simply repeat, so you set an interval and Ago tells you when one is due. Others you only want to remember, with no schedule attached. For those Ago just counts the time since, and never nags.
Does it remind me?
Yes, for repeating activities. Ago nudges you shortly before something is due rather than after you have missed it, and you choose which activities get a reminder at all.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no tracking of any kind. Your activities sync across your own devices through iCloud, and stay yours.
Will it sync between my iPhone and iPad?
Yes, through your own iCloud account. Log something on one device and it is there on the other, with no server of ours in between.
What kinds of things do people track?
Anything with no fixed schedule but a cost when it slips: filters and plants, medication and vet visits, laundry and car service, or simply calling someone you care about.
Is Ago free?
Yes, and the free version is fully working: three activities and one tag, with reminders, history and iCloud sync included. Pro removes those limits and adds Quit mode, which counts the days since you stopped something, with goals and milestones. It comes as monthly, yearly or a one-off lifetime purchase.
How long has it actually been?
Stop guessing. Let Ago keep the count, quietly, in your pocket.
