About

ForgetAboutIt

Catch a thought before it goes. Forget About It keeps your exact words in a private journal on your iPhone and Apple Watch. CAPTURE IN THE MOMENT Type a thought and tap Save, or dictate it. Return adds a new line, and an unfinished typed draft stays available between launches when device storage is available. On Apple Watch, speak, scribble or type; captures wait on your Watch until your iPhone confirms delivery. KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL WORDS Browse Today and History, search your exact text in Memory, and open any entry to read its complete original words. Reflections and context are generated by rules on your device and are visibly separate from what you wrote. FREE EVERYDAY CAPTURE Unlimited capture, all original history, text search, basic capture statistics, today's reflection, and plain-text export remain free. Existing users keep previously available earlier reflections. OPTIONAL FORGET ABOUT IT PLUS Plus adds date and source filters, capture patterns based on your entries, and earlier daily reflections for new users. Choose a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Prices appear in the app for your App Store region. Restore purchases and manage your subscription from Settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, advertising, analytics or remote AI service. Your journal stays on your devices. Apple handles Plus purchases and subscription verification through the App Store; your captured words are not sent with those requests. Your archive is excluded from device backups, so use Settings to save a plain-text copy. Losing or erasing a device can lose its local archive. Capture and reading work offline. Purchases, restoring purchases and current subscription information require communication with Apple. Dictation availability depends on your device and system settings.
