About

Blink Your Life

Features
Read full description

Blink Your Life is a wiser way to remember the details of your life. Blink, a helpful owl with a very sharp memory, keeps track of three kinds of things so you don't have to: FIND: where you physically put things. "Passport: office, top left drawer." - Save the spot, add a photo if you'd like, and find it in seconds with search or by location and category. - Months later, never forget where you put something again. REMEMBER: the details you'll need down the road but won't recall. Newly discovered favorite brands, clothing sizes, paint colors, reliable and not so reliable businesses, food recipes and planning, gift ideas, the restaurant order that was perfect. - Organized by category, searchable anywhere. REMINDERS: quick to-dos the second you think of them, with an optional nudge. - Set a time or make it repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. See what's overdue, due today, and coming up. WHY BLINK YOUR LIFE - Let Blink do all the work so you don't have to worry about juggling and remembering everything anymore. - One easy search to find everything you've saved. - Photos on any Find or Remember entry to refine and help you remember all of the details even more. - A Home dashboard with today's reminders and your latest saves. - You decide Blink's voice: Cheerful, Warm, or Plain. - Multiple global text size options for comfortable reading. - Private by design. Your entries are yours alone. Nothing is shared, nothing is sold, and you can delete everything at any time. FREE AND UNLIMITED PLANS - The free plan includes up to 30 entries across the app. - Going unlimited removes the limit entirely for $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year. - Payment is charged to your App Store account and the subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in your App Store settings. - Nothing you've saved is ever deleted unless you delete it, whatever plan you're on.
