A forgotten detail is not an inconvenience. It is a cost.
Lost deals. Misremembered commitments. Agreements both sides recall differently. Forthold keeps the record of your working life, and answers to you alone.
What did I promise Sam at dinner on Thursday?
To introduce him to the Leeds team before the end of the month. You also said you would send him the deck.
What you use instead, and why none of it holds
Notes apps
Capture your intent. Never capture what actually happened.
Voice memos
Catch the moment and lose the context around it.
Calendar and email
Log the transaction and miss the substance of it.
Briefing your AI by hand
Exhausting, every session, and only as good as what you remembered to mention.
Most often, nothing
And the detail that mattered surfaces three weeks later, in a dispute.
What it is like to live with
The questions everyone asks about a recorder, answered before you have to ask.
Is it always listening?
It captures when you let it. Pause is one action, and the gap is documented honestly rather than hidden.
What if I change my mind?
Delete a recording, a source or your whole account whenever you like, and see honestly how far the deletion has got.
Own the record of your working life.
