Don't Forget

Read full description

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 “Switch“. 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 · Live Activity & Dynamic Island Your task runs in the Dynamic Island with a live timer — even when you're deep inside another app. · Intelligent Task Switching Switch without consequence. Your previous task is parked and waiting, not abandoned. · Smart Return Reminders A quiet nudge after every switch: "Go back to this?" Not nagging. Just enough. · Task Backlog & Planning Capture future tasks without breaking your current focus. Schedule them with optional due date reminders. · Daily & All-Time Statistics Focus time, tasks completed, interruption count, average duration, and completion rate — tracked honestly. · 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.
