Ping.it helps you track recurring tasks by recording when you last did them. Tap to ping, organize tasks into lists, see your last activity and get gentle hints when it’s time again. From plants and home chores to things like backing up your NAS, it keeps track so you don’t have to. Create up to three pings for free, with seamless sync across iPhone and Apple Watch.

👋 Hey Product Hunters, thanks for checking out Ping.it ❤️

I created Ping.it after becoming a mom and suddenly experiencing what many parents call mommy brain. I constantly found myself wondering simple things: when did I last change the diaper, feed my baby, or give him a bath?

I tried reminders, notes, and habit trackers, but they’re all built around what you need to do next (usually at a specific time). What I actually needed was something simpler: a way to answer one question, “When did this last happen?”

That’s exactly what Ping.it does. You can:

- Tap to ping whenever you complete a task and record when you last did it.

- Customize each ping with a name, emoji, and color.

- Choose how elapsed time is displayed.
- Sort pings manually or by time remaining.

- Organize pings into custom lists.

- See your last activity and patterns over time.
- Log a ping in the past if you forgot to track it.

- Undo actions quickly if you make a mistake.
- Receive gentle hints when it's time again.
- Check and tap your pings on Apple Watch.

Ping.it works especially well for recurring tasks that don’t need a strict schedule but still matter over time: things like chores, watering plants or in my case: baby care.

Ping.it also has a free tier: you can use up to 3 trackers with no lists, so you can see if it fits your life.

My goal was to build something simple, calm, and very Apple-like. A tool that quietly keeps track of time so my brain doesn’t have to. The ultimate dream is to say: “Hey Siri, I changed a diaper, can you Ping.it?” But a girl can dream.

TL;DR: I had mommy brain and couldn’t remember when I last changed the diaper, so I built an app that remembers for me.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and I’m curious: what would you Ping in your life?

Does the hint logic get smarter over time based on how often I actually ping, or is it always on a fixed schedule I set when creating the task?

@aydnjnbf Great question! For now, Ping uses the frequency you set, but it recalculates from your latest Ping, so if you log something early or late, the next reminder adjusts from there.

It doesn’t automatically learn your habits yet.

I actually built Ping as a mom trying to make my own routines easier to track, so I’m keeping the logic simple and reliable for now... but smarter suggestions are definitely something I’d love to explore as the app grows.
