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.

Your head, but quieter. ADHD Notes is a calmer task and follow-up app built for brains that run many threads at once. Stop holding everything in your head. Capture it, keep it in context, and let the app surface what needs you next. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Most task apps make you file everything into projects and nested folders. For an ADHD brain, too much structure becomes friction. ADHD Notes keeps work visible on one flat board with a simple promise: get it out of your head, and let the tool carry it. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE Type it, paste an email, speak it, use Siri, or tap the Home Screen widget. The assistant can turn messy thoughts into clean tasks with the right dates, people, and context. ONE THING AT A TIME A focus mode with a quiet timer, gentle check-ins, and a live countdown on your Lock Screen. No noise, no nagging. IT REMEMBERS FOR YOU Recurring nudges resurface what slips. Follow-ups can move out of sight until tomorrow. A plain-language Daily Brief tells you where things stand. Reminders bring tasks back exactly when you asked. FULL CONTEXT ON EVERY TASK People, customers, meetings, notes, subtasks, links, and history live on the task card. Nothing scattered, nothing lost. RIGHT FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy, and Apple Watch support. Ask Siri to capture a thought. Find tasks with Spotlight. MADE FOR YOUR BRAIN Flat by design, with no nesting to get lost in. Calm colors, quiet motion, lighter visual noise, and forgiving undo patterns. Deleted items wait in Trash for 30 days, so mistakes are easy to recover. Free to start. You could be carrying less in five minutes.
