What Retained does

Three small jobs, done really well

Forgetting is not carelessness. Your mind is busy holding a hundred small things. Retained holds the few that matter.

Vault: find your things

Save a photo and the exact spot where you left something. When you wonder where it is, the answer is one search away.

Exit reminders: a nudge as you leave

Save a place and a short checklist. The moment you walk away, you get a notification with what to check before you go.

Reminders: Medicine and Everyday

Never miss a dose, a bill or a call. Choose a simple notification, or a call style alarm that lights up your lock screen and reads the reminder aloud.

Vault

Never wonder where you left it

Set something down, tap the plus, and Retained saves where it is. Next time you look, it is right there.

  • A photo, the type of item (keys, wallet, car, passport, headphones and more) and an optional note
  • The exact spot saved on a map, plus a room tag like Kitchen, Bedroom or Entryway
  • Search your things, and tap Directions to be guided back to it
  • Moved it? One tap on "I moved it" saves the new spot and keeps the earlier ones
Exit reminders

No more turning back halfway down the street

Pick a place, add what you care about, and Retained watches for the moment you leave. You get a notification with your checklist, even when the app is closed and the phone is locked.

Reminders

Little nudges for the things that matter

One place for Medicine and Everyday reminders. Choose how each one arrives: a notification with Done, Snooze and Skip buttons, or a call style alarm that shows on your lock screen and reads the reminder aloud.

  • Medicine: never miss a dose. Put several medicines in one alarm and tick each one off.
  • Everyday: bills, calls, birthdays, anything, any time.
  • Answer straight from the alarm, no need to open the app
  • Works without internet and keeps a simple history
How it works

Set it up once, then forget about it

Retained does the remembering so you do not have to.

Save it

Photograph the thing you put down, pick a place you leave often, or add a reminder.

Let Retained watch

It works quietly in the background. No daily checking, nothing extra to open.

Get nudged at the right moment

When you leave, or when the time comes, Retained lets you know. Tap Done and carry on.

Questions

Good to know

Is an exit reminder a call?

No. An exit reminder is a notification, shown as you leave a saved place with the checklist you wrote. Call style alarms are an option for Medicine and Everyday reminders only.

Does it work when my phone is locked or the app is closed?

Yes. Exit reminders and alarms are built to work with the app closed and the screen locked. For best results, allow the permissions Retained asks for and keep battery saving from stopping the app.

Why does Retained ask for location?

Only to tell when you leave a place you saved, and to pin where you left an item. It is used for your own reminders.

Do I need internet?

Reminders ring without internet and keep a history on your phone. You need to be online to sign in and to back up your data.

Which phones does it support?

Android phones. Some makers limit apps in the background, so Retained guides you through the few settings that keep reminders reliable.

Can I delete my data?

Yes. You can delete your account and everything in it any time from Settings inside the app.

Is Retained medical advice?

No. Retained is a reminder tool. It does not give medical advice, diagnose or treat anything. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
