Never miss a dose: reminders that actually stick
A plain alarm fires once and forgets. It goes off, you swipe it away to deal with in a second, and the second never comes.
What the video covers
A plain alarm has no memory: dismissing it and actually doing the thing are two completely different events, and nothing is tracking the difference. Don't Forget closes that gap. You set a reminder to repeat at the same time every day and mark it a must-do.
Key points
When the reminder fires and you swipe it away, dismissing it doesn't clear it. NeglectAlert notices it's still not actually checked off, and because it's marked must-do, it escalates: it comes back, and it keeps coming back, moving to the top of your day until you either do it or deliberately mark it done. That's the whole difference.
Why it matters
A normal reminder trusts your thumb; this one waits for the checkmark. Set it to repeat, mark it must-do, and let it come back until it's actually done. A reminder that holds.
