Tools to track last activity

The problem, in plain words: “I want a simple app where I can log when I do something and then see how long it's been since I last did it, without reminders or schedules.”

Cleaned It - Cleaning Tracker fits best, with 3 more that fit too.

You want a minimal app where you manually log an action and immediately see how long it has been since the last log, with no reminders or scheduling features.

What fits

Cleaned It - Cleaning Trackerstrong · 92

Its stated purpose is to record when items were last cleaned, which directly matches a tool that records occurrences and shows when they last happened without focusing on reminders or schedules.

Best for: Someone who wants a single-purpose logger that shows the last time an item was done (e.g., cleaning tasks) with minimal clutter.

roundish: when did i last...strong · 87

The product is explicitly built around tracking things that 'come back around' and its description emphasises no calendar dates or push notifications, so it aligns with logging occurrences and seeing their recurrence without scheduled alerts.

Best for: Users who want a lightweight 'when did I last…' tracker that avoids calendar-style scheduling or push notifications.

Days - Sobriety Counterstrong · 85

Designed as a simple counter that tracks days since an event, its core purpose is to record an occurrence and surface the elapsed time since that event, matching your request for no reminders or schedules.

Best for: Anyone who wants a straightforward day-counter showing time since the last logged event (for a single tracked behaviour).

NowAgostrong · 78

NowAgo emphasises visual time and progress tracking without streak pressure or reminders, so its primary focus on visibility of routines and elapsed time aligns with a manual log-and-view workflow rather than scheduled alerts.

Best for: Users who want a visual, reminder-free way to log events and inspect time/progress without streaks or notification clutter.

Partly fits

Counting - Activity Counterpartial · 70

Its primary purpose is one-tap check-ins and minimal logging, so it fits the desire for quick manual logging but the product emphasizes counting consistency rather than explicitly showing time elapsed since the last occurrence.

Won’t cover: It focuses on incrementing a counter for consistency rather than promising an explicit elapsed-time display for each item.

Systemicpartial · 70

Systemic is a deliberately minimal habit tracker with tap-to-mark behaviour and no account requirement, matching your simplicity requirement, but its framing is habit marking rather than an explicit 'time since last' display.

Won’t cover: The app is pitched at minimalist habit marking and may prioritise completion toggles over an elapsed-time view for each habit.

ActivityWatchpartial · 50

ActivityWatch automatically records device and app usage and presents timelines, so it provides elapsed usage data without reminders, but it is an automatic system tracker rather than a simple manual logger for arbitrary events.

Won’t cover: It tracks device/app activity automatically rather than letting you manually log custom, one-off events and explicitly view 'time since last' for those manual entries.
