About

Noded

Features
Read full description

Noded replaces the endless to-do list with a surface. Instead of stacking tasks on top of each other, you put them where they belong: close together when they belong together. Large when they matter. Far out when they can wait. The place is the information. GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD, NOW The capture field always sits at the bottom edge. One tap, one sentence, done — without deciding first which list, which folder or which project the thought belongs to. Sorting happens later, with your finger. ROOMS INSTEAD OF LISTS Your areas of life become zones on the surface: work, home, this week — however you like. Drag a thought in and it docks, taking on the colour of the zone. What belongs together you connect with a thread into subtasks that follow their main thought when you move it. FINISHING AS A RITUAL No checkbox. You press and hold the task, it slowly fills, then it is gone — with a real pulse in your hand. A small moment instead of a click. NO PRESSURE, NO GUILT Noded knows no red, no "overdue", no streaks and no number on the app icon. A task left behind only gets quieter: it gently recedes into the background until you touch it again. Instead of hard clock times there are four soft parts of the day — morning, midday, afternoon, evening. WHEN IT ALL GETS TOO MUCH One button sweeps the whole surface clear. Nothing is deleted: everything moves back into the inbox, and you bring back only the three to five things that really count today. Focus mode additionally clears away the entire interface and leaves only your thoughts. THE LIGHT TURNS WITH THE DAY Morning, midday, evening and night each lay a different quality of light over the surface. You set this nowhere — Noded knows what time it is. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Noded works offline. Every thought lands on your device first and is only backed up afterwards, in the background. There is never a loading bar between you and your idea. NODED LIFETIME The first space is free forever — with unlimited thoughts, zones and connections. If you want several separate surfaces, work and personal side by side, you unlock them once and also get deeper zone colours and further appearances. No subscription, no monthly commitment: one purchase, for good. Noded is for everyone who finds list apps more crushing than freeing. It will not make you more productive. It will make your head emptier.
