Don't Forget
Read full descriptionHide full description
You start something. Something else pulls you away. An hour later you can't remember what you were doing before. Don't Forget is a task timer built for brains that switch. Instead of asking you to stop getting interrupted, it expects interruptions and keeps your place for you, so getting back takes one tap. HOW IT WORKS Start: name what you're working on and go. The timer runs and your task stays front and center. Switch: something urgent comes up? Tap Switch. Your current task is parked with its time saved, and a new one starts. Come back: a minute later, a gentle notification asks if you want to go back. Your parked task is waiting with its timer, steps and notes exactly as you left them. Resume in one tap. BREAK IT INTO STEPS Big tasks are easier to return to when you know the next step. Add steps to any task, focus on one at a time, and see how long each one really took. FOCUS THAT FOLLOWS REAL LIFE ยท Pomodoro sessions with focus and break lengths you choose ยท Pause any time, and the timer doesn't keep counting while you're gone ยท On Mac, tasks pause when your Mac sleeps, locks or starts the screen saver, and resume if you're back soon ยท A check-in when a timer has been running for hours, so forgotten timers don't skew your day ยท Fix the time afterwards with "stopped at" if you walked away and forgot to pause PLAN WITHOUT LOSING FOCUS Capture what's up next without breaking your current flow. Plan tasks with due dates and reminders, sort them into folders, and start the next one when you're ready. Finished something you do often? Run it again. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME WENT Honest statistics built from the time you actually focused: focus time, tasks finished, how often you were interrupted, and your sessions by day, week or month. EVERYWHERE YOU WORK ยท iPhone: Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep your running task visible in any app, plus Home and Lock Screen widgets to start a task ยท Apple Watch: see your current task and timer, tick off steps, pause, complete, or start what's next, with complications for your watch face ยท Mac: lives in the menu bar, with a small floating window that keeps your task in view ยท iPad: a two-column layout with your tasks and details side by side ยท Your tasks sync across your devices through your iCloud account DON'T FORGET PRO A one-time purchase, no subscription: ยท Focus patterns: your best hours and days, and what keeps pulling you away ยท Time by folder: see where your focus goes across projects ยท Siri & Shortcuts: start, switch and complete tasks hands-free or from automations BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO SWITCH Many productivity apps assume you'll sit down with a list and work through it in order. Don't Forget is for people whose days don't go that way: people with ADHD, people who hyperfocus and lose track of time, and anyone whose work is full of interruptions. No streaks to break and no guilt. It remembers what you were doing so you don't have to. No account or sign-up needed.

Most planners show you appointments. DayLoad shows you how full a day really is โ before you say yes. PLAN โ YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE A fixed week strip on top, the day's hour-by-hour timeline below. "Focus Today" highlights up to three key tasks. Habits with streak counters underneath โ check them off, done. A WORKLOAD THAT'S HONEST Every task counts toward the day's load by its duration: green (light), yellow (full), red (overloaded). Decide per activity whether it counts โ and set your own daily capacity. A FAMILIAR MONTH VIEW The whole month with your events as an overview. Tap a day to open its plan, long-press to create an event right there. FUTURE INBOX Something comes to mind? Tap, save, move on โ it lands in your inbox first, not on the calendar. Drag it onto a time or a day when you're ready, and see what the day already holds. APPLE CALENDAR Your existing events fold into the workload, read-only โ nothing is changed. FAST & QUIET No visual overhead, no icon clutter, text before icons. Instant feedback on every check. Light and dark mode. DayLoad is for people who don't want to forget things โ and want to notice a day is full before it's too late.
