I’ve only been using this for a day, and I can tell it’s going to work so much better for me than Apple Reminders. First of all, the fact that is syncs with Apple Reminders is crucial. And it does so seamlessly. Second, the snooze or do-later options are outstanding. Apple only lets you move a reminder back an hour, or a few hours or a day. Unforgetful offers many more options. I have a lot of things I want to do someday, if I have time. That doesn’t mean they are not important, but I don’t want to be reminded about them every day. I just want them there in the background.

The philosophy of this app is exactly what I’ve been missing from the stock reminders app. Reminders don’t get lost anymore because Unforgetful reminds me about them, whether they have a due date or not, whether you’ve cleared the notification or not, whether they’re overdue or not. However I’ve found a few bugs that I hope will be cleaned up. For example, I just marked a recurring monthly reminder complete, and it looks complete in the app, but in the reminders app it’s due later today and incomplete. And it’s a shared list so others don’t see the reminder as complete either.Another issue: you can’t switch a reminder to or from a shared reminders list. This is probably an issue with Apple’s api because Fantastical can’t do this either. But Fantastical provides a message dialog telling you this, but Unforgetful just does nothing when you try so save the reminder. Feature request: I would like all new reminders to default to the same list every time. Currently I think it remembers the list of the last reminder you added, but if it’s a shared list and you forget to check it, you can’t switch the list back because of the above bug. Feature request: expose the “urgent” toggle from the reminders app. I love the alarm and live activity on the lock screen for the extra nag to get something done. Feature request: I would really like to see additional snoozing options like “next weekend.”Overall great app, and I really hope the rough edges will be smoothed out because I’ve become much more productive by using this!

This app was clearly built to be a stripped-down, solid reminder tool, but it's hard to justify an ongoing subscription given its current limitations compared to the competition.Pros: Clean, fresh-out-of-the-box potential.Cons & Feature Limitations: Creation is a chore: If you prefer typing over voice commands (like Siri), the experience is frustrating. There is no natural language input, requiring too many manual clicks just to set a time. Rigid Snoozing: You are locked into preset snooze times (15 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, tomorrow) with zero customization or control—a limitation it shares with Apple's native reminders app.How It Compares to the CompetitionIf you are looking for the best tools in the ecosystem, here is how other apps stack up: For Quick Creation: RemindMeFaster remains the king of adding reminders to the native app, paired with natural language input and quick suggestions. Apple's native app also handles this better. For Custom Control & Persistent Alerts: Due is unmatched for custom snoozing and persistent alerts (though it uses its own database, it does support reminder imports). For Power Users: GoodTask offers absolute control and endless options, though it can feel overwhelming for some.The Verdict:While I'd love to see this new app grow and evolve, it currently doesn't earn extra stars for reminder creation or flexibility. It has potential, but it needs significant updates to justify a subscription model.

This is the app that the doctor ordered to make sure that you don't lose your random reminders that you've been very good at putting in but never actually accomplishing. Perfect for anyone, really. Question, is there a way to add some settings that allow you, for instance, to not follow the theme of your computer, so you can choose dark or light mode. Also, make things that you put in as done go away right away instead of sitting in the list with a line through them. Those would be great features. I'm sure there's more, but those are my first takes.
