The story

Deforget is a diary that remembers for you. You write about your day the way you'd tell a friend, and on-device Apple Intelligence quietly picks out the commitments, plans, decisions, open questions, meeting notes, and people - they become colored highlights in your writing, real Calendar events and Reminders, and a browsable index of your life. There are no forms, no tags, and no confirmation steps: the whole app is a bet that if extraction quality is ever the problem, you fix quality - you don't make the writer approve things. And nothing you write ever leaves your device. Extraction runs on-device, sync goes through your personal iCloud, and the App Privacy label reads "Data Not Collected." There are no servers. I couldn't read anyone's diary if I wanted to.

Fact sheet

Name
Deforget
One-liner
The diary that remembers. Just write - it remembers, and nothing leaves your device.
Launch
September 2026, alongside iOS 27. Exact date announced when iOS 27 ships.
Price
The diary - writing, reading, sync, export - is free forever. Deforget Pro unlocks the intelligence: $2.99/month, $29.99/year, or $59.99 once for lifetime - a launch-window price that will rise later. 7-day free trial; billed through the App Store.

Requires
Apple Intelligence hardware: an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, an M-series iPad, or an Apple-silicon Mac. The App Store offers Deforget only on devices that can run the on-device model.
Languages
Writing works in any language. The intelligence is tuned and tested for English today; other languages often work, but we don't promise them.
Privacy
App Privacy label: Data Not Collected. No analytics, no tracking, no account, no third-party services. The app talks to exactly one party: your own iCloud, for sync between your devices.
Developer
Kaloyan Lachezarov, solo developer.

Measured, not promised

Deforget ships with its own evaluation harness, and I've been measuring Apple's on-device model across the iOS 26 → 27 betas - same app binary, same 34-case corpus, five runs per case, on the same iPad. From iPadOS 26.5.2 to iOS 27 beta 3: overall extraction went from 127/170 to 155/170, restraint - writing plain reflection and getting no false extractions - went from 3/25 to 21/25, and model-call failures went from 9 to 0. That improvement is why Deforget launches with iOS 27, not just on it. The full data and methodology publish at launch.
