How long has it been? Since you last called your dad, changed the air filter, took a real day off, or had a drink. These are the things you do when you remember, not on a schedule, so the days quietly pile up. Elapsed is a day counter for exactly that: it shows the days since each one as a single big number, so a glance tells you how long it's been. No menus, no clutter, just the number.
Pick a Design You Love
Give each counter its own look, from clean and minimal to bold and graphic. That look follows it everywhere, on its card in the app and its widget on your home screen, so the whole thing ends up feeling like yours.
Right on Your Home Screen
You see "Call dad, 14 days" while you're checking the weather. Done? One tap on the widget and the count starts over. Most days you never open the app.
A Counter for Anything
Open one for whatever you lose track of, and watch the days since add up:
- The people you mean to call, see, or write to
- The things at home: the filter, the sheets, the deep clean
- The habits you're leaving behind: no alcohol, no coffee, no cigarettes
- The appointments you put off: the dentist, the haircut, the check-up
- The good things you want more of: a real day off, time outside, a proper meal
Never Forget Again
Add an optional reminder and it reschedules itself every time you log, so it only nudges you when it has genuinely been a while. Anything overdue gets a quiet dot, so what's slipped stands out even without a notification.
See How Often It Really Happens
Feels like you saw your friends just last week. The counter keeps the honest record: every log, an optional note to remember the details, and the stats that show your real pattern, like your average gap and your longest stretch.
Simple by Design
No account, no setup. Add a counter and you're set in seconds. Your counters stay on your device, and nothing is ever sold or shared.
Free to Use, Yours to Keep
Elapsed is free. When you want the full design library and the background tones, Elapsed Plus is a single purchase: pay once, own it forever, and every future addition is included. No subscription, ever.
No streaks to keep up. No guilt for letting something slide. Just a calm, honest count of the days that have passed.
How long has it been? Open Elapsed and find out.
Literally perfect for what it says, plus no adds, no premium, nothing extra in your face. Just the app which I respect.
Developer Response
Thank you, a day counter with no clutter is the goal, so it's good to hear that came through.
Great

Love it - please make the widget show different counters randomly instead of forcing to pick one!
Developer Response
Thanks for taking the time to write this! Until the widget can do this itself, here's a way to get close: add a few Elapsed widgets, each set to a different counter, and drag one on top of another to make a stack. Then you can swipe through your counters in a single widget spot. A widget that rotates through your counters on its own is on my list, and your note moves it up.
Log without opening the app.
• Say "Log Gym in Elapsed" to Siri, or put Log Counter on the Action Button or in a shortcut.
• The clock and battery are easier to read on some counter pages in iOS 27.
• Small fixes all around.
