As an obsessive reminder CLI user for years I’m trying out #unforgetful on iOS. What I was hoping for is the same sort of fast “throw everything into a pile and ensure you don’t lose any of it” that the reminder command line tool has.

It is good at dumping lots of tasks into it and not losing track of them, which seems to be its primary function. However I really struggled with “is this worth a yearly subscription”? It is a very barebones app right now.

Things like “customize your notification system per to-do list” which seems like something I would kinda expect at a subscription level isn’t there. I’m also not clear where the app grows from here. It’s effectively Apple reminders app but you cannot lose track of something in it.

For example I like location based reminders. It makes sense to make some of my lists location based. I don’t need to know about shopping reminders until I’m in the store. However that’s not something this app can currently do (or at least I can’t see how to do it).

So it’s hard for me to recommend as is to to-do addicts like me. It’s possible that these things get added, but since Apple still doesn’t have upgrade pricing somehow in the App Store I can’t risk that I’ll forget I have this subscription for years to come.
