Want to be less forgetful in 2024? These wearable memo bracelets — just $2 a pop — will keep your to-do list in check

It doesn’t matter what age you are: We all forget things, whether it has to do with chores, taking medications, buying groceries, picking the grandkids up from school, walking the dog — the list goes on. And if your New Year’s resolutions include being less forgetful, have we found the perfect memory-jogger for you. It’s the Chuangdi Memo Bracelet, a wearable, reusable to-do list you can refer to throughout the day to ensure you don’t miss any important tasks. Pretty genius, no? And at just $10 for a 5-pack at Amazon, the price is right. Here’s to 2024 being the year of un-scattered brains!

Remember slap bracelets? It’s essentially the same idea behind these memo bracelets — just lightly tap one against your wrist and it’ll roll up around it. But instead of fun colors and prints, these helpful accessories have a dated checklist on one side and a ruler on the other. (Hey, you never know when it’ll come in handy!)

Made of durable silicone, the bracelets are waterproof, so you won’t have to worry about erasing your list when you wash your hands. They’re designed to be written on with an oil-based ink pen, and once you’ve completed a task, you can simply wipe it away with a cloth. (FYI, though: The manufacturer does recommend removing the writing within 24 hours to ensure it doesn’t leave traces behind.)

Still not convinced you need these memo bracelets in your life? Don’t just take our word for it — here’s what verified Amazon customers had to say.

“These have helped me eliminate paper lists and reduce the number of reminders on my phone,” wrote one impressed shopper. “I use cheap dry erase fine-point markers and, to erase, I simply rub with a paper towel any line item that I need to remove. … The only downside is actually a precaution: If you wear it under a sleeve or if it rubs against something, the writing may become distorted; however, it’s just something to be mindful of … I love these and will buy more when and if I need to replace them.”

“I have ADHD and have a problem with remembering things,” shared another five-star fan. “Out of sight, out of mind. So this helps a lot when I need to remember important things to do that day. And the quality is really good.”

“As long as you use the correct type of pen and rinse off the words within that day, this product works exactly as described!” explained a happy user. “There were two lines that I forgot about and tried to wipe off a few days later. They still came off, but you can see them lightly in the background.”

Even medical professionals love these: “This thing has been great, as [I am] a nurse who works in the ER and [am] constantly taking vitals and writing notes!” gushed a final reviewer. “Easy to write on and clean!”

Want an oil-based ballpoint pen to write on your bracelets with? Here’s one:

“This writes well and I really love the extra-fine point,” raved a reviewer. “This is great if you need to fill in small print.”
