Blink Your Life
The memory app for forgetful people
If you're forever asking “now where did I put that?”, you don't need a better memory. You need a place to put one. Blink Your Life remembers where things are so your brain doesn't have to.
Android coming soon
Forgetting isn't a flaw, it's a full brain
You're not careless. You're juggling a hundred things, and the small stuff (where you set the keys, which drawer holds the warranty) falls through the cracks. The fix isn't trying harder to remember. It's writing it down somewhere you'll actually look.
Note it once, find it forever
Put something down, write it down. Five seconds now saves twenty minutes of searching later.
Put it down, write it down
Stashing something you'll need later? Add it in seconds (“spare key → blue kitchen tin”), optionally with a photo of exactly where it is.
Search the app, not the house
Next time, don't ransack the house. Type what you're after and Blink Your Life tells you where you left it, down to the drawer.
Remember the details too
Not just objects: sizes, paint colors, model numbers, the restaurant dish you loved. The facts you always forget, kept in one searchable place.
Things people stop losing
- Keys, wallet, glasses, and the TV remote
- Passports, spare keys, and important paperwork
- Where the holiday decorations are stored
- Model and serial numbers for when something breaks
- Where you parked at the mall or airport
- The charger that's never where you left it
- Whether you already bought it, so you don't buy doubles
- Which cable goes with which gadget
- The gift you hid in July and need in December
Sound familiar?
“It's in a safe place.”
It always is. The trouble is which one. “Spare key → blue kitchen tin” ends the tour of every safe place you own.
Doubles, again.
A second tape measure, a third phone cable. Search the app before the store, and the one you already own turns up.
The warranty is somewhere.
Somewhere is the office, second drawer, green folder. Noted the day it arrived, found the day the dishwasher died.
The remote has left the building.
Or it's under the left cushion, where you put it “for now.” The note doesn't care how silly the location is.
Holiday boxes, once a year.
Attic, back left, behind the suitcases. You'll forget by next December. The app won't.
Where are the good scissors?
The good ones live in the hall closet. The bad ones are in every drawer. Now you know which is which.
What it looks like
The Find screen: every item you've put away, with its location, one search away.
Questions people ask
Do I have to tag or organize everything?
No. Type what it is and where it went. Search does the organizing when you need it back. A photo helps, but it isn't required.
How is this different from a notes app?
Notes pile up, and the note about the passport ends up under a recipe. Blink Your Life keeps three kinds of memory apart: where things are (Find), the details you look up (Remember), and to-dos with a nudge (Reminders). One search covers all three.
Does it sync between my phone and my tablet?
Yes. Your entries sync across your devices, so the drawer you noted on your phone shows up on your tablet.
What does it cost?
Free for up to 30 entries, photos included. Unlimited removes the limit for $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year. See pricing.
