The launch follows a familiar script.
Unforgetful promises to revolutionize reminders with its “impossible to ignore” approach. Because what we really needed was another app to nag us. The app’s features sound suspiciously like what our phones already do. “Persistent” reminders are just a euphemism for “we’ll keep bugging you until you do it.” Unforgetful is just the latest iteration of an age-old idea: reminding you to do stuff. Its innovation is in making you feel guilty for trying to ignore it.
