You don't need another to-do list. You need someone to tell you what to do right now. Every productivity app eventually becomes the same thing: a long list you scroll, feel guilty about, and close. The problem was never the list — deciding what to do is the hardest part, and lists make YOU do the deciding at the worst possible moment. RightNow flips it. Tell it how much time you have — 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes — and it hands you exactly one card. Do it, or skip it. That's the whole app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your habits and tasks as cards 2. Pick the time you actually have 3. Get one card — the right one for right now 4. Tap Done. Feel it. Repeat. No browsing. No ranking. No scroll of shame. YOUR DAY HAS A SHAPE • Morning Brief — your first open of the day shows yesterday in one line, names today's focus, and gives you one button to start it • The loop — pick a time, get a card, all day long • Wrap Day — close the evening with your day's story: what you did, your 7-day trail, and one piece of coaching for tomorrow SMART ABOUT TIME • Morning cards deal in the morning, evening cards wait for evening • A 5-minute window gets a real 5-minute card — never a 2-hour project in disguise • Skipped something? It cycles back fairly. Hid it for today? It stays gone until tomorrow. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Starter Routines — five curated packs (Fitness, Sleep, Parenting, Personal Growth, Beauty) so you're never staring at a blank app • Routines — run your own ordered sequences, card by card • Someday — park ideas you're not ready for; they never nag and never get lost • History — completed tasks are kept, and restorable YOURS, PRIVATELY Everything lives on your phone. No account, no cloud, no feed, no ads. Your data never leaves your device. Try RightNow free for 7 days. If it earns its place, one purchase unlocks it forever — no subscription, ever. Stop managing your list. Start doing what's on it.
Help Me Remember
Read full descriptionHide full description
Not another reminder app. A reminder command center. Every other app traps your reminders inside itself. Apple Reminders keeps them in Apple Reminders. Your calendar keeps them in your calendar. Each tool demands you live inside it — and when your tools don't talk to each other, you stop trusting any of them. Help Me Remember flips that. Store everything you need to remember in one hub, then decide exactly where, when, and how each reminder reaches you. Stop adapting to your apps. Make them adapt to you. ONE HUB FOR EVERYTHING Capture every reminder in a single place — appointments, medications, follow-ups, the thing you swore you wouldn't forget. No more scattering them across five apps and hoping one of them speaks up. DELIVERED WHERE YOU ACTUALLY ARE Choose how each reminder reaches you. Help Me Remember routes the right reminder to the right place at the right time, so it lands somewhere you'll actually see it — not buried in an app you forgot to open. REMINDERS ON YOUR SCHEDULE Set one-time reminders or recurring ones. Pick the exact days with a simple day picker, build weekly routines, and create rules that fit how you actually live instead of bending your life around a rigid app. A DASHBOARD THAT MAKES SENSE See everything coming up at a glance. Clear, organized, and fast — built so you can trust it without thinking twice. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED Reminders only work if they're reliable. Help Me Remember is built around that simple promise: the things that matter show up, every time, wherever you need them. WHO IT'S FOR People running their lives across too many tools — founders, freelancers, remote workers, project managers, and anyone who's tried every reminder app and never quite trusted one. If your reminders are scattered and your system is held together with hope, Help Me Remember is the hub you've been missing. Reminders, your way. One hub. Any channel. Remember everything — wherever you are.
