The Best Days Since Apps in 2026: An Honest Comparison
Disclosure: we make SinceNow, so we’re not neutral. To keep this useful, every fact about other apps below comes from their public App Store and Google Play listings, checked in October 2026. Where we couldn’t verify something, we left it out. Ratings change daily, so treat the numbers as a snapshot.
What is a days since app?
A days since app (also called a “last time tracker”) answers one question: how long has it been since I last did this? You add a task, tap reset when you do it again, and the app shows the days, hours or minutes since. People use them for home and car maintenance, medicine and check-ups, pets, and quitting habits.
How to choose
- Your phones. Most apps in this category are iPhone-only. If anyone in your household uses Android, or you want a web version on your laptop, that narrows the list fast.
- One focus or many. Some apps are built for one use case (quitting a habit). Others are general-purpose trackers for everything you do every few weeks or months.
- History. Do you only need the current count, or a log of every past time, with notes like the price, mileage or dose?
- Reminders and widgets. Decide whether you want the app to nudge you, or just to answer when you ask.
The apps
SinceNow — general-purpose, iPhone + Android + web
Platforms: iOS, Android, web · Price: free core with no ads; Premium subscription with a 2-week trial
You add a task (from 33 templates or your own), reset it when you do it, and SinceNow shows the days, hours and minutes since. Every reset is kept in a history with an optional note, like “16x25x1 filter, $11” or “5 ml, 101.4°F”. Tasks are organized in color-coded categories, and future dates work as countdowns. Premium adds reminders, counter tasks, statistics and data export.
Best for: households that mix iPhone and Android, and anyone who tracks a long list of recurring things and wants the history.

Platforms: iOS · Ratings: about 4.8★ from roughly 17,000 ratings (US App Store, October 2026)
The best-known app in the category, built around quitting habits and sobriety, with statistics added in a 2025 update. If your goal is “days since my last drink” on an iPhone, it’s the most established option.

A long-running, polished counter for days since and days until events, available across Apple’s platforms.

Newer last-time trackers
2025–2026 brought a wave of new “last time” apps, among them LastTime, LastTap, DoneAgo, Sincey and Daystreak. Nearly all of them are iPhone-only and still have few ratings, so it’s early to judge them. Daystreak stands out for home-screen widgets and shareable posters.
