A quiet companion for the scatterbrained

You made it out.
Did you turn off the stove?

Forget Me Not notices when you leave and asks the things you always wonder about later. No nagging. Just a quiet check.

Sound familiar?

“Did I leave the curling iron on?”

The doubt is real. So is the fix.

The thought hits an hour later. The app already has the answer.

These are examples of what the app shows you, not quotes from people.

Leaving

A tap on the shoulder as you walk out the door.

Save home by standing at the door. When your phone notices you leaving, one gentle notification: “Did you turn off the stove? Unplug the hair dryer?” Tap it and your checklist opens. Tick each thing, or snap a photo of it.

Rather not share location in the background? Tap I'm leaving and the same checklist comes up.

Bags

“Got the baby bag?” Yes. “Got everything in it?”

Build your bags: baby bag, gym bag, work bag, weekend trip. Starter lists get you going. Then you see the bag itself and tap each thing in it. Take one photo of your open bag and pin where everything lives.

Proof

A photo is worth a whole night of peace.

The stove dials. The curling iron cord. The lock. Every tick and photo is stamped with the time and place and kept on your phone. When the doubt hits, ask.

Snap before you go

One quick photo of the thing you'll wonder about. Three seconds.

🕰️

Time + place on every one

“Locked, photographed 7:51am at Home.” Not a feeling. A record.

🔎

Ask “Did I…?”

Type “did I lock the door” and the answer comes up with the photo.

Arriving + home-only notes

“You home? Keys on the hook. Wallet in the bowl.”

Walk in and it checks in, one thing at a time, so tomorrow-you finds everything. Notes like “water the plants” stay quiet until you get home, then surface.

Travel Mode

Your habits, wherever you sleep.

Set a hotel or Airbnb as a temporary base. Same gentle check-ins as home, plus a checkout sweep before you hand back the key: passport, chargers, toiletries, the safe. Fewer chargers left in strange walls.
