We have all been there. A deadline gets buried somewhere in a long email thread, life gets busy, and suddenly you are apologizing for a missed follow-up you completely forgot about. Avec, the AI powered email app built around swipe gestures and voice dictation, just rolled out a fix for this problem, and it might be the app’s smartest addition yet.

the magic in this one is the due date detection: you just swipe left, and avec figures out when to remind you, without you needing to do anything more.

What is Avec’s ‘Never Forget Anything’ feature?

The feature is called Never Forget Anything, and using it is quite simple. Whenever you spot an email that is important but cannot deal with right now, just swipe left on it. From there, Avec quietly does the hard part for you, scanning the message to figure out exactly when it is due, whether that is a deadline, a follow up date, or a specific day something needs your attention.

When that day arrives, the email resurfaces right at the top of your inbox, paired with a short, clear notification reminding you why it matters. There is no manual date picking or setting reminders yourself. One swipe sets the whole thing in motion, and Avec handles the rest.

Why does this matter?

Avec is an email app that has built its identity around making email feel less like a chore. It lets you triage your inbox one message at a time with quick swipes, similar to swiping through a dating app. On top of that, you can dictate replies out loud instead of typing them manually.

Founder and CEO Jonathan Unikowski called the due date detection the real magic behind this update. He admitted the team was not initially confident they could pull it off reliably. Now, he says, the feature works consistently every single time. Since email inboxes can become quite overwhelming to deal with, automatically catching deadlines makes Avec a real lifesaver.

Everything Apple announced at its September event: iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, new Apple Watches, and AirPods 5

The "Surprise and Shine" September launch event was one of Apple's crispest, most elaborate, and most loaded launch events in a while. Instead of leaving the minute details in the spec sheet or fine print, Apple actually included them in its keynote presentation, not just for its big reveal but for all the devices it unveiled on September 9, 2026. 

While the 'Surprise' bit was covered by the new iPhone Duo, 'Shine' probably refers to the new colors in the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. Beyond these, Apple also announced two new Apple Watches and a refresh for the regular AirPods (not the Pro ones). Given that there's a lot of ground to cover, here's everything Apple announced at its September 2026 event.

Before You Pay More for DDR5, Think About How Much Memory You Need
The MSI Cubi 5 1MA makes a strong case for looking beyond the newest specs

There is an easy trap to fall into when buying a new PC. The newer specification usually sounds like the better one, so choosing DDR5 memory over DDR4 can seem like an obvious upgrade. But with memory prices climbing to unusually high levels, it is worth asking whether you will actually benefit from paying more for that extra speed.

For many people buying a PC primarily for work, the answer comes down to how they use it. Everyday tasks such as browsing, email, spreadsheets, presentations, and video calls generally do not need the extremely high memory bandwidth DDR5 offers. Having enough RAM to keep several of those tasks running comfortably can be far more relevant.

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Adobe

PDFs remain one of those unavoidable parts of working life. Reports, research papers, presentations, proposals, financial documents and client material still tend to arrive as PDFs, and the real problem is rarely opening or reading them. It is dealing with everything that comes after: finding the useful information in a lengthy document, understanding it quickly and eventually turning it into something presentable.
