DontForget

Notch Reminders for Your Favorite Apps

Track up to 5 apps. When one sits idle past your threshold, a frosted-glass reminder drops from the notch with the app icon, a timer, and one-tap open.

Simple. Focused. Beautiful.

Track 5 Apps

Pick up to five apps from /Applications. Each gets its own independent idle timer.

Custom Threshold

Set the idle window anywhere from 30 seconds up to 10 minutes. You decide when to be nudged.

Glass Notification

A frosted card drops from the notch with shimmer, ripple, and a soft blue–purple glow.

Instant Actions

Tap to launch the app, or snooze to reset the timer. One click, done — never disrupts your flow.

Menu Bar Background

Close the config window — the pill keeps monitoring from the menu bar. Zero dock clutter.

Zero Permissions

Uses NSWorkspace to detect app switches — no accessibility prompts, no sandboxes broken.

Close the Window

The menu-bar pill keeps monitoring in the background. Close the config window — it keeps running.
