Built for ADHD brains

Reminders that won't give up on you.

Gentle nudges that grow louder until the thing is done. Escalating notifications, medication tracking, AI task breakdown — quiet by default, relentless when it matters.

Why BugMe

You set 14 reminders today.
You ignored all 14.

ADHD brains tune out reminders that come once, politely. BugMe is the app that learned to be louder, smarter, and harder to dismiss — without making you feel worse for needing it.

How escalation works

It starts gentle. It stops being gentle when you ignore it.

BugMe escalates across 12 tiers from a week out to overdue. The goal isn't to be loud — it's to be loud enough, right at the moment you'd otherwise forget.

Week out
Gentle intro
A quiet reminder shows in-app and on your widget. No push.

Full banner + alert tone, even on Do Not Disturb. The "oh right" moment.
Due now

Repeating alarm. The app takes over the screen until acknowledged.

What's inside

Everything a reminder app should've been. And more.

Loud enough to break hyperfocus.
Quiet enough you don't hate us.

12 escalation tiers. Panic Mode for Pro. Multi-channel: iOS push, email, Discord.

FAQ

Common questions.

No — it's useful for anyone who forgets things. It's built for ADHD brains, which means the defaults (escalating notifications, critical alerts, Panic Mode, medication tracking) assume you're going to tune them out. If you're already good at reminders, our gentlest tier alone is probably enough.

You set the reminder.
