Yes!! Get this on Android and I'll pay for it. Been after something like this for ages. I can never remember when I last watered my plants..
Nick Dominguez, 4 years ago Great idea! It's almost like a reverse todo list app. I agree with Ken, I think you could probably just add a block of explainer text underneath the mean header that expounds on what the app actually does and the problem is solves.

Adding a short description is indeed a good idea. I will look into it. Thanks! :)
Ken Em, 4 years ago I've looked at this page and still don't know what this app does. I see that it has some features listed, but nowhere do I see an overview of what its purpose is.

Good point! A short description would be helpful.
Pavel Gorin, 4 years ago Very simple to me — I understood what this app does from the first sentence on the page "When was the last time you cleaned the fridge".

I think you are missing a key feature for this, the ability to add a "frequency" to the task.
E.G. I say [this] is the last time I watered my plants, and the frequency I would like to water them is [every 2 weeks]. When it's 2 weeks later, you can notify me to water my plants. With snooze till: later, tomorrow, next week, next time.

Notifications are definitely something I will look at. Thanks for the suggestion!
Sebastian Winther, 4 years ago +1 on this. This would probably also help the app sort better? E.g. if I have a lot of different recurring tasks, I wouldn't want "cleaning my fridge" to always be at the top just because I only do it once every 6 months, when that's actually when I should be doing it.
I would love to be able to sort according to "stuff that's past the frequency I'm supposed to do it at." Once that's there, this app would probably sit permanently on my home screen.

Great job and congrats on the launch :). I want more icons, like for running (shoes for instance), haircut (scissors), beard trimming/shaving, clipping nails (good luck with that one :P)

Agree with everyone else, the site could use better a better explanation of the benefits...but having said that, the app itself is amazing! Conceptually, the whole "it's been X days since you've done this thing"is perfect for a procrastinator like me. I typically just cringe/ignore/postpone calendar reminders, but seeing it this way actually makes me feel guilty...and that is a major motivator for me. YMMV but I love it.

I generally develop sites / apps out of personal needs, hoping for others to share those needs. Feels good to hear that it's helpful for you, too!

This is pretty good idea, I think I might try it out! It's something that can be useful for people while not being too big of scope of for a first iOS app.

Pretty cool idea. Well done.
Andrew Washuta, 4 years ago Love the concept. I'm very forgetful, so this will definitely be helpful!
Jono Young, 4 years ago I agree with the very first comment, I cannot tell what problem this app is solving in the first 5 to 10 seconds.
After reading these comments and reading the webpage a bit further, I can see that I have already solve this problem by using Siri on my phone.
For example anytime I water my plants, I simply say to Siri: “Hey Siri, remind me to water the plants, every Monday at 9 AM.”
That’s it that’s all I have to do to remember the last time I did something, just ask Siri to tell me when to do it the next time at the interval that I prefer.”
Great job pushing the app out either way, I think some people who don’t use Siri or Google Assistant might find it useful.
The problem the app solves needs to be made into the focus on the landing page ASAP.
My recommendation (based on a lot of startup experience) is to reap the value of your experience and learning thus far, but end this project now or pivot. I do not see a product market fit here. If you just want to complete the project for a portfolio piece, go for it. Learning is just as valuable as succeeding.

Thanks for the feedback.

The Last Time is not a reminder app. It's a tool to track passed days and mostly for things you do in an unknown interval and not on a specific day.

Any way to export data to CSV/JSON? Cool app by the way.
Tobias Reich, 4 years ago
No, that's currently not possible or planned.

Nice work! I would have really liked to be able to not have to set a last time for new items. Could say “Never” or “Don’t know” if it’s a new thing I’m doing.
Tobias Reich, 4 years ago
This is indeed a nice idea. There's definitely a few things that could be improved in the date-picker. Also thinking about a way to pick a relative date (e.g. "I've done this x days ago, but don't now the specific date").

The kind of app just perfect for people with ADHD just like me. This is great!

Glad you like the idea! :)
