Marco Arment Launches Unforgetful: A Reminders App for Procrastinators

Marco Arment, the indie developer behind Overcast and Instapaper, has launched Unforgetful, a new reminders app designed to address common frustrations with Apple’s built-in Reminders. The app targets users who struggle with procrastination, missed notifications, and accidental dismissals of reminders. Key features include persistent notifications that repeat even after being dismissed, snooze intervals that scale based on user behavior, and seamless integration with existing Apple Reminders data. Unlike traditional reminder apps, Unforgetful eliminates the need for tags or complex organization systems, focusing instead on simplicity and reliability. The app costs $19.99 annually and works across both Mac and iOS devices. Arment highlighted issues with Apple’s system, such as its inability to handle missed time entries or accidental dismissals, which Unforgetful aims to resolve. While some may find the app’s approach overkill, it offers a tailored solution for users who need frequent nudges to complete tasks. The app also includes voice-to-text capabilities and widgets for Lock Screen and Control Center integration.
