Unforgetful isn\u2019t a new productivity system to learn.<\/p>\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n

This is designed for a small number of short-term tasks. What do you need to do today, tomorrow, this week, or this month?<\/p>\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n

If you want tagging, folders, archives, or other ways to organize or file away tasks, this isn\u2019t the app you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

Unforgetful is for people who know that if they file away a task, it never gets done.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m an OmniFocus person. I love<\/em> tagging, folders, and archives; I never<\/em> want to see a notification for a to-do item. I prefer pull to push. So this is absolutely not the right tool for me. But I like the fresh thinking behind this app and how the various design choices interact to make it an opinionated tool for the right type of person.<\/p>\n

Marco Arment<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Calendar alarms changed my life. Events without alarms don\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n

Most of my Reminders interaction has always been via Siri and notifications. And that fits me very well, with three major exceptions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If I say \u201cRemind me to buy milk,\u201d but I forget to specify a time (or Siri misses it), Reminders will never<\/em> notify me, and I\u2019ll never check the app, so it\u2019ll be lost.<\/li>\n
  2. If I inadvertently dismiss a Reminders notification without snoozing it, Reminders will never notify me about it again, so it\u2019ll be lost.<\/li>\n
  3. When I do<\/em> snooze a Reminders notification, which I do a lot<\/em>, the snooze options suck.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    He has good solutions to these and other problems. I\u2019m tempted to try out Unforgetful just for the purported quick capture of dictated reminders, however there\u2019s no watch app.<\/p>\n

    Listen to Accidental Tech Podcast<\/a> to hear about unfortunate limitations of EventKit. Reminders itself is interesting to me in that the (private) data model is now so rich, but I\u2019m put off by the UI, the lack of export, and the limited support for driving it from the keyboard.<\/p>\n
