The dates that cost you something when they slip. The trial that renewed. The registration that lapsed. The passport that expired two weeks before the trip. The birthday you'd hate to miss. Forgor keeps all of them on one shelf and nudges you ahead of time — two weeks by default, or however far ahead you choose. Then it gets out of the way. ONE SHELF, NOT FIVE APPS Birthday apps do birthdays. Home apps do filters. Car apps do oil changes. Forgor holds all of it — Anniversaries, Home, Car, Documents, Health, Money, and any shelf you add — and answers the only question that matters: what's due this month? A NUDGE, NOT A NAG One notification per date, early enough that you can still do something about it, at the hour you choose. Two weeks is the default; passports get two months, haircuts get three days, and any date can have its own. No badge on the icon. No daily digest. No second reminder about the first reminder. NOTHING IS EVER OVERDUE A date that passes rolls forward to next year on its own. A one-off leaves the list after its day. No checkboxes, no red badges, no pile of things you failed to do. The only number that goes up is the one for dates you kept. ONE HOUSEHOLD, ONE LIST Invite the people you share a life with. Each date says who it's for, so the smoke-alarm batteries nudge whoever changes them and Mom's birthday nudges everyone. Add someone later and their own dates come with them. FOUR WAYS IN Type it. Take it from a contact — only the name, birthday and anniversary — you pick who, and only the people you keep are saved to your list. Point the camera at a passport, a card or a letter and let the date come off it. Or forward the renewal email to your household's own address and the date shows up as a suggestion — keep it or don't. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No ads. No selling anything about you. Nothing you keep is used to train a model. "Photos never leave the phone. Contacts you don't keep don't either. Forwarded mail is read once by an AI model to find the date, and not stored. Save it once. Forget it on purpose.
