About

Forget Task

Features
Read full description

Forget Task is a to-do list built on one idea: most tasks don't deserve permanent storage. Write a task, and it disappears on its own after the time you choose — 1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 days, or on a recurring day every week or month. No archive, no guilt, no growing pile of stale to-dos. What matters gets done; the rest quietly leaves. WHY IT FEELS LIGHT • One-tap quick add with a floating button — type, hit send, done • Swipe left to forget something right now • Reminders only when you ask — set them like in the built-in Reminders app • A day before something disappears, it can warn you • Pin what must survive: long-press to keep it on top • Done tasks stay visible until their time runs out • Add a task hands-free from Siri Shortcuts MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • Light and dark themes with a soft glass finish • 6 languages: English, Russian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese • 5 app icons to match your home screen • No account, no sign-up PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your tasks are stored only on your device. They are never uploaded anywhere — no cloud, no sync, no servers. Only anonymous usage statistics help us improve the app. Perfect for errands, follow-ups, quick notes and everything that should leave your head — and then leave your phone.
