Amnesia
A Mac app that asks why you opened that tab
Amnesia is a local-first macOS menu bar app for people who open X, YouTube, Reddit, Slack, or analytics dashboards and forget why. It asks for your intent, keeps a tiny timer on-screen, checks whether you did what you came to do, and turns the day into a private report of opens, forgotten intents, and time lost.

Hey Product Hunt - I built Amnesia after noticing I kept opening X "for one thing" and resurfacing 10 minutes later with no idea why I came there. It is a tiny local-first Mac menu bar app. When you open a distracting app or site, it asks: "Why are you here?" Then it keeps that intent floating on-screen, checks whether you actually did it, and gives you a private daily report of opens, forgotten intents, time lost, and worst loops. No cloud, no login, and no content capture. It does not read tweets, messages, prompts, source code, or revenue numbers. It only tracks coarse destinations and the intent you choose. I am launching it as a $19 early-access Mac app because I wanted to see if other people have the same app-amnesia problem. I would love feedback on whether this should stay a tiny personal tool or become something more team-focused.
