How it works
Three steps, and then you stop thinking about it.
1
Remember
Keep a list of the things you only do now and then — your last holiday, your last call home, the last time you changed a toothbrush. It works for the habits you would rather break, too: smoking, running late.
Fast
Adding something takes one line. Type it, and you are done.
Customisable
Give it a cover photo, an icon and a colour. Add a date in the past or a first note, all in the same editor.
2
Forget
Then put it out of your mind. Last Time starts counting the moment you add something, and keeps counting whether you open the app or not.
and counting, without you
3
Remind
When you do wonder, open the app. Every answer is a number, and you get it in one glance.
Overdue first
Group the list into Overdue, This Week and Later, or sort it your own way and search it.
Reset the counter
Done it again? Mark it done and the count starts over. One tap.
History
Every reset is kept, so you can see the whole timeline.
Days not your unit?
Switch the counter to years, months or hours.
A look around
The app itself, not a drawing of it.
The morning digest
One notification a day, at an hour you pick — and only on the days there is something to say.
Every time, kept
The whole timeline, with notes — plus your usual gap, and when the next one is due.
A note for every time
Open any history entry to see its date and note, or edit the details later.
Light or dark
Follow the system, or pin it to one and leave it there.
What people say
Just does what it says it will. You want to know how long batteries last in a device? This is your tool. When did you water the cactus? It tracks. Best little app.
How long ago did I put in new contacts? How old are my car tires? When did I last have my dogs nails clipped? Easy peasy. Just what I’ve been looking for for years!
I’ve used Last Time for a long time, many years. It’s still my go-to third party utility. Totally handy for tracking the last time for anything. Syncs between iPhone and iPad well.
This app is amazing! Have been using it for like 10 years.
I use this app constantly. I track the last time I painted rooms, replaced electronics, visited family, and more. Impressive app.
With memory problems this is made for me!! I even showed it to my dr and he’s mentioned it to other patients! Thanks!
Just as it says on the tin. The Siri integration is particularly useful.
I love the minimal design! I also love the feature where you can assign the desired icon for the type of event. It’s my daily go-to app now!
Questions
Does my data leave my phone?
What you enter stays on your device unless you enable iCloud sync. With sync on, it is copied to your own iCloud account. I do not collect it, and there is no app account to create.
Will it remind me?
Yes. One morning digest a day, at an hour you choose — and only on days when something is overdue or due, so it stays worth reading.
Can I add something that already happened?
Yes. Set a date in the past when you add it, and the count starts from then rather than from today.
Do I have to count in days?
No. Switch any counter to years, months or hours.
What happens to the old dates when I reset one?
They are kept. History shows every previous time in order, and you can add a note to each.
Can I find things in a long list?
Yes. Search it, sort it alphabetically, by newest or oldest, or drag it into an order of your own — and group it into Overdue, This Week and Later.
Does it sync between my iPhone and iPad?
Yes, over iCloud, if you turn it on. It carries your events, their history and notes, and their icons and colours to every device on the same iCloud account.
