Compared to Alternatives
How Dory differs from phone reminders, from trackers like AirTag or Tile, from a sticky note by the door, and from reminders you ask Alexa or Google Home for.
Phone reminders go off at a set time, often when you're on the couch or already in the car. Dory activates at the only moment that matters: when you pick up your keys, the door is still open, and you can still go back. That timing difference changes everything.
Tile and AirTag help you find lost items after the fact. Dory prevents forgetting in the first place. It's not a tracker: it's a departure checkpoint that reminds you before you leave, not after.
Sticky notes work for a day or two, then you stop seeing them. They don't change with the day, they don't know who's about to leave, and they only work for whoever wrote them. Dory speaks to you at the exact right moment, with content that adapts to who you are and what your day looks like, and you can't ignore it because it's tied to the physical act of grabbing your keys.
Smart speakers require you to remember to ask, or to set a time-based reminder in advance. Dory is passive: you don't do anything. You just pick up your keys like you always do, and Dory tells you what you need. No voice command, no schedule to set, no app to open in the moment.
