Every counter, its own design.

what it's for

For when you can't remember the last time.

Meds, plants, the people you love, the car, the chores. The recurring things with no fixed schedule, where you just want to know how long it has been.

An Elapsed home screen with a grid of counters (Water plants, Call dad, Cigarette, Date night, Saw friends, Moving day, Gym, Journaled), each showing the days since.

the library

Designed, not configured.

Pick a design and the counter wears it, each with its own type, color, and texture. The same design carries from the card in the app to the widget on your home screen. Eight at launch, with more on the way.

01/logging

One tap, back to zero.

Tap to log it and the count starts over, right from the home-screen widget without opening the app. The number rolls back to zero and you get on with your day.

02/reminders

Reminders that reschedule themselves.

Set a gentle interval and Elapsed nudges you when it has been too long. Every time you log, the reminder quietly resets. Reminders are free, on every counter.

03/rhythm

See how often you really do it.

Every counter keeps your average gap, your longest stretch, and a rhythm chart, so the vague sense of how long it has been turns into something you can actually see.
