Qcard is a reminder system built for the reality that sometimes, you’re going to forget. When something matters, Qcard it and get back to your life. When it becomes due, Qcard doesn’t alert you once and disappear. It reminds you every minute until you respond. Can’t deal with it right now? Delay it. Qcard puts it back in front of you later and starts reminding you again. No checking lists. No remembering to open the app. No having to remember to remember. THREE WAYS TO FOLLOW THROUGH GET IT DONE — Orange Reminders For the everyday things you need to do. When an Orange Reminder becomes due, Qcard keeps reminding you until you respond. Delay it as many times as you need. It stays with you until you complete it or decide you no longer need it. BE THERE — Blue Appointments For the places you need to be. Set the appointment date and time, choose when Qcard should start reminding you, and let Qcard help you move toward that fixed moment. GET THROUGH IT — Green Guided Tasks For things that take more than one step. Break a task into steps and give each one a duration. Qcard keeps the current step in front of you until it’s complete. Then the next step begins. ONE THING AT A TIME You shouldn’t have to carry everything you need to remember in your head at once. Qcard holds onto it for you. What’s done stays on your timeline. What’s next comes to you. Completed Qcards also give you a record of what you actually did — useful for those moments when you find yourself wondering, “Did I already do that?” MORE THAN A REMINDER • Attach checklists when you need extra detail • Save frequently used Qcards as Favorites • Send Qcards to someone else and know when they accept or complete them • Delay something whenever life gets in the way • Look back at completed Qcards to see what you’ve done Qcard can be especially useful for people dealing with ADHD, executive dysfunction, brain injury, forgetfulness, or simply too many things competing for attention. BORN FROM NECESSITY After a brain injury, I tried countless apps, reminders, and strategies to keep up with everyday life. But they all still expected me to remember to remember. I needed something I could forget about — and trust to bring it back. Sergio Founder of Qcard JUST START Try Qcard free for 30 days. No signup. No email. No credit card. No subscription to start.
