Bills, renewals, birthdays, passports, registrations, trials, appointments: the dates that cost you something when they slip. Forgor keeps them all on one list and nudges you early, with nothing to check off and nothing ever overdue. You forgor. We didn't. WHAT'S DUE THIS MONTH Coming up shows the next 30 days, with a countdown on every date and a plain total for anything that costs money. Months shows the rest of the year. Search finds anything, however far out. A NUDGE, NOT A NAG One notification per date, early enough to do something about it. Two weeks by default; two months for a passport, three days for a prescription, or whatever you set. You pick the hour. Add an on-the-day nudge if you like, or snooze one. No badges, no daily digest. NOTHING IS EVER OVERDUE Birthdays, anniversaries and yearly renewals roll forward on their own. Weekly and monthly bills repeat until the end date you set. No checkboxes, no red, no guilt. EVERY KIND OF DATE, ONE PLACE Anniversaries, Home, Car, Documents, Health and Money are ready to go. Add Pets, Subscriptions, Kids, School, Travel, Rentals & leases, Garden, Work and more in one tap, or make your own. Car registration and inspection, oil changes, insurance renewals, driver's license and passport renewals, air filters, pest control, HOA and property tax, credit card due dates, gym and streaming subscriptions, trial end dates, vet shots, warranties, birthdays, anniversaries and remembrance days. BRING DATES IN WITHOUT TYPING - Your calendars: Forgor reads the calendars on your iPhone (iCloud, Google, Outlook), picks out the dates worth a nudge and leaves the meetings alone. It won't double up what you already have, and if an event moves, you'll know. - A photo: point the camera at a bill, a card or a flyer. The date, time, price and address come off it, read on your phone. - A text: share an appointment or an invite from Messages straight to Forgor. - An email: forward a renewal or a booking to your household's own Forgor address and it shows up ready to keep. - Contacts: bring in birthdays and anniversaries. - Holidays: US holidays, plus a nudge a week before Mother's Day, Father's Day and Valentine's Day. ONE HOUSEHOLD, ONE LIST Invite your partner, your parents or your roommates. Each date says who it's for, so the right person gets the nudge. Keep a date private when it's only yours. THE DETAILS Put an amount, a time and an address on any date; tap the address for directions. Subscriptions get a shortcut to manage them in the App Store. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No tracking. No bank logins, ever. Calendar access is read-only, and calendars, photos and contacts are only read once you turn them on. Nothing you keep is used to train a model. Delete your account and everything in it from Settings. Save it once. Forget it on purpose.
