Don't Forget

Don't Forget is the focus companion for minds that move fast. Start one task, get interrupted, always know exactly where to come back. No lists. No system. Nothing forgotten. HOW IT WORKS Start what you're working on. Just name it and go. Don't Forget tracks your time, keeps your task front and center, and stays out of your way. Get interrupted, freely. Something urgent comes up? Tap β€œSwitchβ€œ. Your current task is automatically parked, timestamped, and surfaced the moment you're ready. A gentle notification reminds you to return 60 seconds later. Resume in one tap. Your interrupted task is right there, exactly where you left it. Nothing to reconstruct. Nothing lost. FEATURES Β· Live Activity & Dynamic Island Your task runs in the Dynamic Island with a live timer β€” even when you're deep inside another app. Β· Intelligent Task Switching Switch without consequence. Your previous task is parked and waiting, not abandoned. Β· Smart Return Reminders A quiet nudge after every switch: "Go back to this?" Not nagging. Just enough. Β· Task Backlog & Planning Capture future tasks without breaking your current focus. Schedule them with optional due date reminders. Β· Daily & All-Time Statistics Focus time, tasks completed, interruption count, average duration, and completion rate β€” tracked honestly. Β· macOS Menu Bar Start, switch, and resume tasks without ever leaving your current window. BUILT FOR REAL BRAINS Most productivity apps were built for people who can sit still with a long to-do list. Don't Forget was built for everyone else. For the people who start something, get pulled into something else, and then stare blankly trying to remember what they were doing before. For the people who have been told to "just focus" their entire lives. No guilt. No overwhelm. Just a calm companion that remembers so you don't have to. PRIVACY Your data lives entirely on your device. No account required. No cloud sync. No tracking. Ever.

If you're managing compliance deadlines for dozens of clients, you already know the risk: one missed Sales Tax filing, one late 1099, one forgotten LLC fee β€” and a client has a problem you can't undo. BookKeep is built for bookkeepers who carry the compliance calendar for multiple clients and need everything organized in one place. Add each client, then attach their specific obligations: Sales Tax, Payroll, 1099s, W-2s, Estimated Tax, LLC Fees, Franchise Tax, Insurance Renewals, Property Tax, and more. Set the recurrence, due date, and reminder timing so every client deadline stays visible. BookKeep helps you see what is overdue, what is due this week, and what is coming next. Add local reminders on your iPhone or iPad so important deadlines stay front and center. When a deadline is handled, mark it complete and add notes or a confirmation number. Every completed obligation is logged, giving you a cleaner follow-through history for each client. BookKeep is local-first. Your client list and deadline tracking stay on the device where you use the app. The free plan supports up to 5 clients. BookKeep Pro unlocks unlimited clients and export tools for $5.99/month, $59.99/year, or $99 as a one-time lifetime purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://bookkeep-privacy.netlify.app BookKeep is the focused compliance calendar for bookkeepers who need to know what is due, what is done, and what needs attention next.
