A note-to-self you can't miss. Think of it as a string around your finger for the things you keep forgetting: change the light bulb, make that call, pick up a new roll of… paper towels. Pick an emoji to jog your memory. Place That Thought puts it on your Lock Screen and in your Dynamic Island, so every glance at your phone reminds you until you do the thing. HOW IT WORKS • The app opens to a grid of your go-to nudges. One tap starts one. • Close the app. The nudge stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island until you're done. • Just in case, you'll get a notification two minutes later to help it stick. • When you're done, tap Done. No need to open the app again. NUDGE FROM ANYWHERE Start a nudge without opening the app, from a Lock Screen widget, Control Center, the Action Button or Siri. MAKE IT YOURS • Make your first nudge right away, then use Edit grid to swap the starter nudges for your own, with any emoji, even the weird ones. • Pick a theme to recolor the whole app. DAILY NUDGES Pick a nudge and a time, and it starts on its own every day. Free. STATS See how long your nudges take, plus any streaks. SAY IT (PRO) If a nudge isn't on your grid, say it out loud ("take the lasagna out of the oven") and the app picks the emoji and label for you. It works on every device, and Apple Intelligence makes the pick even better where it's available. PRO • All 9 grid slots. • Say It. • Every theme. • ROUTINES: Save a list of nudges, like your morning, and do them one after another. Schedule one to start at the same time every day. • UP NEXT: Start a new nudge without losing the current one. Pro is a one-time purchase. No subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no ads. Your nudges stay on your device. A reminder app shouldn't need your email.
