If you’re anything like me, you keep forgetting the small things β€” a new job, a tough week, something someone was looking forward to β€” and you hate that. People deserve that kind of attention, and you want a simple place to catch those moments before they slip away. Recognizable? Then this app is built for you. Nugget helps you remember the small things that matter about the people in your life. Save short notes (nuggets) for friends, family, colleagues, and more, and schedule follow-ups so you actually get back to them. Built with Apple’s familiar design language, so it feels like part of your iPhone β€” not another app to learn. Adding a person, jotting a nugget, or setting a follow-up stays out of the way of the moment you’re capturing. Add people with a photo and category, link them to Contacts if you want, and call or message from the person screen. Set a follow-up on any nugget and get a notification when it’s time. A Home Screen widget shows your upcoming follow-ups at a glance. Everything stays on your iPhone. No account. No cloud sync (yet). Just people, notes, and timely follow-ups.
