See the next thing.On the Lock Screen.

You know pickup is at 3:15. Then you look up, and it's 3:12. NowSense keeps a live countdown to your next thing on your Lock Screen, so you see how long you have every time you pick up your phone.

Try it free for 7 days, then unlock Pro once for $4.99.

I built NowSense for my wife, so she could see how long she had before the next thing, every time she picked up her phone.

Up Next on the Home Screen

Frequently asked questions

Who is NowSense for?

It's for anyone who knows what's next but loses track of how long until it starts. Some people get NowSense for themselves. Others install it on the phone of someone they live with and add that person's next things there, so that person sees the time left on their own Lock Screen.

How does NowSense fit next to my calendar?

Keep your calendar for planning. NowSense shows the next six hours or so, each thing with its name and time, and a line at Now. Sync Calendars brings in events from the calendars you choose.

What devices does NowSense work on?

iPhone. The countdown sits on your Lock Screen as a Live Activity, so you see it every time you wake your phone.

Is it a subscription?

No. After the 7-day free trial, you pay $4.99 once, and Pro is yours. Nothing is charged automatically.
