Don't Forget
Read full descriptionHide 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.

BrainFog is a private second brain you talk to. Speak naturally once, and BrainFog saves the detail with a timestamp. Later, ask in your own words and hear the answer back. No typing. No folders. No “Where did I write that down?” JUST SPEAK. THEN ASK. Use BrainFog for: • Parking spots, keys, and things you put somewhere “safe” • Appointments, tasks, and reminders • Passwords and other private details • Meeting decisions, follow ups, and ideas • Grocery lists, recipes, and instructions • Money notes, IOUs, and running balances • Doctor instructions, routines, and personal records • Birthdays, gift ideas, and details about people you care about • A private voice diary you can ask about later REMINDERS THAT STAY ON IT Say, “I have an appointment tomorrow at 4. Remind me at 2.” BrainFog suggests a reminder, and one tap sets it. Reminders work offline and keep alerting until you snooze or dismiss them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your saved memories stay on your phone. There is no BrainFog database of your life. No account. No sign up. No ads. Add Face ID or fingerprint protection for extra privacy. When AI is briefly used to transcribe or answer, the information is processed for that request and not retained by BrainFog. SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE Use BrainFog in 50+ languages, including English, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Arabic, Spanish, French, and more. Ask in your language and hear the answer in your language. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL Review your memories in a timeline, favorite important entries, edit or delete anything, have entries read aloud, and export or import your data whenever you need to move or restore it. Your brain is brilliant at thinking and terrible at storing. Let BrainFog carry the little details. TRY IT FREE Explore BrainFog free for three days. A subscription is required afterward.
