Almost Forgot is a gentle reminder app for real life — designed for anyone who needs a little extra support remembering the small things, without the pressure, guilt, or noise of typical productivity apps. Soft Nudges Set reminders that feel like gentle nudges, not demands. Snooze without guilt, mark things done with a small celebration, and restore anything you've completed if you change your mind. Brain Dump A private space to get thoughts out of your head — worries, errands, ideas, anything. Lock it with Face ID or a PIN for complete privacy. Turn any thought into a reminder, or park it for later. Little Lists Simple checklists for groceries, packing, books to read, and more — plus a "Parking Lot" for things you don't need to act on right now, just don't want to lose. Focus Sessions Gentle focus timers with calming sounds, perfect for short bursts of productivity without pressure. Time Blocks Set a window of time for a task, with a gentle warning before it closes — helpful for staying on track without feeling rushed. Make It Yours Choose from 8 calming themes — Forest, Night, Blossom, Water, Golden, Misty, Autumn, and Dark — to make the app feel like your own quiet space. Almost Forgot is designed to feel calm, private, and pressure-free - a quiet space for the things that matter. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
