Unforgetful: New App Enhances Apple Reminders

Marco Arment, the creator of Overcast, has launched a new app called Unforgetful, designed to enhance Apple Reminders with features like persistent notifications and flexible snoozing. The app is available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and requires a subscription after a one-month free trial.

Unforgetful addresses three major problems in Apple's Reminders app: tasks without an alert can disappear, dismissed notifications do not return, and the available snooze options do not fit the user's needs. Arment created the app to address his own issues with Apple's Reminders app, which he felt didn't fit his needs.

The app works with the same data as Apple's Reminders app, allowing users to continue creating tasks with Siri and move between Unforgetful, Reminders, and other compatible apps without importing or exporting anything. Unforgetful can repeatedly notify users about a task until it is marked as completed or deleted, and it also features widgets, Lock Screen controls, and Control Center controls.

Unforgetful has several features that make it stand out from Apple's Reminders app. It can space out notifications when several tasks are due at once, skip missed backlogs for recurring tasks, and delay location-based reminders until a few minutes after arrival. These features are designed to make it impossible to lose tasks and provide a more flexible and customizable reminder system.

## Why it matters Unforgetful is designed for people who struggle to keep reminders from slipping through the cracks, particularly those with ADHD or procrastination tendencies. The app's features, such as persistent notifications and flexible snoozing, can help users stay on track and ensure that tasks are completed. With its simple interface and customizable controls, Unforgetful provides a solution for those who find Apple's Reminders app inadequate.

The launch of Unforgetful highlights the need for more flexible and customizable reminder systems. As Arment noted, Apple's Reminders app can be limiting, and Unforgetful provides a solution for those who need more features and control. With its availability on the App Store, Unforgetful is poised to help users who struggle with reminders and task management.

## What's next Unforgetful is available for download on the App Store, and users can try it out with a one-month free trial. After the trial period, a subscription is required to continue using the app. As the app gains traction, it will be interesting to see how it compares to other task management apps and whether it becomes a go-to solution for those who struggle with reminders.
