Laya

Life's irregular routines

Some things have no due date, only a rhythm: the water filter every few months, a call home every week, a haircut every month or so. Laya keeps a tile for each. As its time comes round, the tile turns from sage to a warm amber and rises to the top. When you have done it, press and hold the tile, and it sinks back to rest.

A look inside

The tiles: two have come full circle in amber, others are midway in ochre or fresh in sage, each with its rhythm. A tile opened: 8 days since the last call home, usually every 7 days, with Tended today and the earlier times. A new rhythm: its name, the icon that follows it, about how often, when it was last done, and a group. The Diary: what was tended in the last seven days, and each day with its notes. The tiles in the dark theme.

What it does

A tile for each routine

  • A loose rhythm for each: about a week, two weeks, a month, three months, six months, a year, or your own number of days
  • The colour moves from sage through ochre to amber as the time comes round, and never turns red
  • One ring, then two, then three with a dot: the phase is clear without the colour too
  • What has come full circle rises to the top; what you have just tended rests at the bottom

Tending

  • Press and hold a tile when it is done, or tap it if you prefer
  • It freshens, then sinks slowly to rest, with a soft sound if you like
  • Undo for thirty seconds
  • Note an earlier day, and a few words of what was done

It learns your rhythm

  • After three times it knows how often you really do it, and offers that as the rhythm; it never changes it by itself
  • Everything you have tended, day by day, in a Diary that counts what was done, never what was missed
  • Groups (Home, People, Self, Vehicle, Plants, Papers), search, and putting a tile away

Calm by design

  • No alarms, no due dates, no streaks. In the Android app, one gentle note a week, only if you turn it on
  • Light and dark, and text that can be made larger
