ForgetMeNot is for remembering our lives. Not just the big stuff like birthdays and epic trips, but also the countless smaller moments we have with our friends, family, and ourselves. Like when your friend said something so dumb and funny you were laughing until it hurt. These times are the easiest to forget, but also what gives life real meaning. Now you can collect them all in your own memory jars. Keep them private, or build them together with the people who were there. And whenever you need it, pull a memory out at random and be back there for a minute. WHO WE ARE We're just two people with a couple of cats.
