Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm excited to introduce Retained, a personal memory assistant designed to help you remember the things that matter in everyday life.

We've all experienced those frustrating moments: searching the house for our keys, forgetting where we put an important document, leaving home without something we needed, or forgetting to take medication on time. These moments can interrupt our routines, waste time, and create unnecessary stress.

That's the problem we're trying to solve with Retained.

What does Retained do?

Retained brings together practical tools to help you remember your belongings, manage daily tasks, and stay on top of important routines, all in one place.

1. Personal Item Vault 📦

Ever put something somewhere and completely forget where you left it?

With Retained, you can take a picture of any belonging, add its name, and save its location. Whether it's your keys, wallet, passport, important documents, electronics, or something you only use occasionally, you can store it in your personal Item Vault and quickly recall where you left it.

Instead of searching through drawers, cupboards, and rooms, simply open Retained and look it up. It gives you a simple way to keep a record of your belongings and where they belong.

2. Exit Reminders 🚪

How many times have you left home or the office only to realize you've forgotten something important?

Retained lets you set up Exit Reminders for specific places, such as your home or workplace. Add the things you want to remember before leaving, and Retained reminds you when you're heading out.

You can also receive personalized voice notifications that announce your saved place and the items you've entered. This helps you remember the essentials before you walk out of your place.

3. Everyday Reminders 🔔

Some things don't happen at a fixed place or as part of a regular routine, but they're still easy to forget. Whether it's an important task, an appointment, a personal commitment, or something you need to do later, Retained's everyday reminders help you keep track of what needs your attention.

Set reminders for the things that matter and get notified when it's time, so fewer tasks slip your mind.

4. Medicine Reminders 💊

Keeping track of medication schedules can be difficult, especially when life gets busy. Retained helps you remember when it's time to take your medicine with timely reminders, making it easier to stay consistent with your routine.

Why Retained?

We believe remembering everyday things shouldn't require so much mental effort. Your mind is already occupied with work, responsibilities, and life. Remembering where you put something, what you need before leaving, or what you need to do later shouldn't add to that burden.

Retained is built for anyone who misplaces belongings, has a busy schedule, or wants a little extra help staying organized.

How the features work together

Each feature helps with a different kind of remembering. The Item Vault helps you recall where you stored something. Exit Reminders help you remember what to take with you when leaving a familiar place. Everyday Reminders help you keep track of tasks and commitments throughout the day. Medicine Reminders help you remember your medication schedule.

Instead of relying on scattered notes, mental reminders, or trying to remember everything yourself, Retained gives you one place to keep these useful reminders and item details close at hand. The goal is simple: make it easier to find what you need, remember what matters, and move through your day with fewer interruptions.

We're excited to share Retained with the Product Hunt community. We're building it to make everyday life a little easier, and we'd love to hear your thoughts as we continue improving it.

We'd love to know:

What's the one thing you frequently misplace?

What daily task do you find easiest to forget?

Which Retained feature would be most useful in your everyday life?

Nothing forgotten. Nothing lost.
