iPhone app · your life organizer

Being an adult comes with a checklist. Nobody ever handed you one.

So we wrote it. 200+ things your home, car, body, money, devices and cupboards need — each one researched, each with how often and why. Pick the part that bothers you most, answer a few questions, and that year lays itself out. Open the app and today is already written.

Try the app

The list is the product.

Every item carries the reason it matters — and most carry the source that reason came from. These are six of two hundred and forty-one, quoted from the app itself.

Clean the washer door seal

The rubber door gasket is where most washer mold starts, because the seal traps detergent and damp.

Every 4 weeks

Clean the dryer vent

Failing to clean the vent causes about a third of the 2,900 home dryer fires reported each year.

Every 12 months

Check your FSA balance

Half of FSA holders forfeit money back to their employer every year. $441 on average.

Every 3 months

Check for car recalls

Over 50 million US cars are driving around with an open safety recall. The repair is free by law.

Every 6 months

Check for data breaches

Over 17 billion breached accounts are now catalogued. Statistically, some of yours are in there.

Every 3 months

Replace the kitchen sponge

Over 75% of kitchen sponges carry coliform bacteria, and 86% test positive for yeast or mold.

Every 2 weeks

Nobody remembers a dryer vent. That is rather the point — you cannot put a thing on a to-do list if you have never heard of it.

Your whole year, before the coffee goes cold.

Three acts. The longest one is a handful of taps.

1
It asks where to start

Home, money, car, health or your digital life — whichever one you have been putting off. Then a short conversation about that one: what you have, what you already do, what you have never got round to. Seven questions at most, and it takes about a minute.

Nothing personal leaves your phone. There is no account to make.
2
It builds that year

Your answers decide which items of that area apply, and then they get spread across the next twelve months — deliberately unevenly, so no single week ends up carrying five jobs. A weekly rhythm underneath, the rare and expensive things scattered above it.

One part of life, done properly, beats six half-filled. The other five are waiting in the catalog for when you want them.
3
You just tend today

Open it and today is written. Tap what you did. Miss something and it doesn’t vanish or turn red — it stays visible as worth checking, and the rhythm carries on where it always was.

Checking something off closes that day. It never shifts the rest of the year.

All of that is in the demo above. It is the real thing, running here.

Six areas. One organizer.

Colour does the sorting, so a glance is usually enough to know what kind of day it is.

Your home

Keeping the place from quietly falling apart.

Your health

Small checks now, fewer surprises later.

Your digital life

Backups, passwords, and the boring stuff that saves you.

Your car

A few minutes here saves a bad day on the road.

Your supplies

Never hit empty at the worst moment.

Your finances

Catch the small leaks before they add up.

Two nudges a day, at most.

And never on a day with nothing on it.

A morning list: here is your day. An evening check-in: this much is still open. That is the whole of it — no per-task pings, no streaks, no third slot.

Each one switches off on its own, and turning off both is how the app goes silent. The morning has separate times for weekdays and weekends, because people lie in.

Finish the last thing at noon and the evening nudge never fires. It is rebuilt after every check-off, so it can’t ask about something you have already done.

TENDED · 9:00 Today’s list. One thing to tend today.

TENDED · 20:00 Still on today’s list. One thing still open — unless you’ve done it already.

“We already built the system you’d never build yourself. Remembering it is my job now.”

Everything is unlocked from the first screen. One decision after that.

Start the free month

The free month is Apple’s introductory offer and is granted once per Apple ID. After it, the subscription auto-renews yearly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Manage it in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions.

What you’d do instead

Research it yourself, for free

Perfectly possible. It is roughly two hundred searches, a judgement call on every interval, a spreadsheet to hold it, and an evening deciding which week each one belongs in. Then the same again when you move.

Or you could let me keep it. Less than one forgotten subscription a month.

The checklist exists now.
It just isn’t on your phone yet.

Free for a month. Keep it if it earns its place.

“Why does that even matter?”

Fair. Every item in the app answers this before it asks anything of you.

Do I have to set anything up?

No. You answer a few questions, the app builds the year, and that is setup finished. You can move anything afterwards, but nothing is waiting on you to configure it.

What happens if I fall behind?

Nothing turns red or angry. A missed item stays visible as worth checking and is counted honestly — hiding it would defeat the point of an app whose job is noticing. The rhythm itself does not move: the next occurrence was always going to be where it is.

Does it nag?

Two notifications a day at most, and only on days that actually have something. A morning list and an evening check-in, each switchable off on its own.

Is my data going anywhere?

Your schedule and history live on your phone. There is no account and no sign-up. The app sends anonymous usage analytics — which features get used, and a country-level location worked out from your IP address — so we can tell which parts are working. The full detail is in the privacy policy.

Why a subscription for a checklist?

Because the catalog is not finished. Intervals get revised when guidance changes, items get added, and most of them carry a source we have to keep honest. That is the part you are paying for.

Can I try it before paying?

The demo on this page is the real app — play with it as long as you like. On your phone, the first month is free.
