Guide

Again has three recording modes. Pick the one that fits the thing you do; the interaction is always the same — tap the row to record what you actually do.

Loops — when the next time depends on the last time

A Loop is for things that recur on your cadence, not on a fixed calendar date. "Haircut every 5 weeks" — you don't actually want a haircut on June 12th, you want it about 5 weeks after the last one. Tap Done when you finish, and Again schedules the next one from that moment.

Two flavours, depending on the thing:

• From completion (default) — "5 weeks from when I last did it." Best for personal stuff: haircuts, dental, AC filter, watering plants. If you're a week late, the next one is a week later too.
• From due date — "every month on the 1st." Best for things tied to the calendar — rent, monthly review — where being late shouldn't slide the next one later.

Per-occurrence variants

Some things don't repeat uniformly. "Dental every 6 months — every 2nd visit is dental + whitening." "Groceries every week — every 4th is the bigger Costco run." A variant overrides the title (and notes, emoji) on every Nth occurrence, with an offset if the special one isn't first. The detail screen shows what's coming, so you're never surprised.

Dailies — daily things you want to remember

A Daily is something you want to do every day. Vitamins, stretch, a journal entry. Tap to mark it done for today; the row moves to a "Done today" group below. At local midnight, everything resets.

A small flame chip appears once you've completed a Daily on consecutive days. It's there for context, not pressure — no fanfare, no streak-loss notifications, no XP. If a streak breaks, the chip just goes away; nothing else happens.

Tallies — things you just want to count

A Tally is a counter for things you want to record without scheduling. Meditation. Push-ups. Glasses of water. One tap = +1; the count and last-tap time live right on the row.

Tallies have no goals and no reminders, on purpose. A target would turn them into guilt-Dailies. Each tap is logged, so undoing a stray tap is one long-press.

The home-screen widget

Each widget on your home screen picks one mode in its configuration — Loops, Dailies, or Tallies. Tap a row to record the event without opening the app. Put two widgets side by side if you want both Loops and Dailies at a glance.

Optional sync between devices

Sync is off by default. When you turn it on, your phone generates a random ID and a private key locally — that's everything the server ever sees. No email, no password, no third-party login. Linking a second phone is a one-time QR scan from the first one.

See the privacy policy for the full data story.

Backup

Settings → Backup & Restore exports everything — Loops, Dailies, Tallies, completions, settings, variants — as a single JSON file you can save wherever you like (Google Drive, email it to yourself, your own folder). Importing the same file later restores the full state. The file is plain JSON; you can read it.
