What Was It Again?
Read full descriptionHide full description
“Wait... what was I about to do?” You walk into another room. You open your phone. You were about to look something up, but then you started reading the news—and suddenly: “Wait... what was I going to search for?” Those little “What was it again?” moments happen all the time. “What Was It Again?” is an app for moments just like these. This isn't an app for never forgetting. It starts after you've already forgotten. As you answer a few simple questions, the app gently nudges your memory: “What was it for?” “What was it about?” “What were you going to do?” There's nothing you need to write down or save. The moment you remember, you're done. And if you still can't remember by the end... Well... it probably wasn't that important. A little help—and a little fun—for those tiny everyday moments when your memory goes blank. Little Better Studio A little easier. A little more fun.
