Read full descriptionHide full description
nu. is a 5-second, one-line journal built for ADHD brains and anyone who loses their train of thought mid-task. It's based on interstitial journaling: instead of trying to remember your whole day at night, you capture the small transitions between tasks as they happen. What did you just finish? What is the next tiny step? That's it. Most journaling apps demand long paragraphs you don't have time to write. nu. asks just those two questions. Type one sentence, tag your mood, and get back to your focus in 5 seconds. WHY NU. WORKS • Built for Task-Switching: Designed for brains that lose the thread every time they change tasks. • Zero Friction: Open, type, done. No blank-page anxiety. • Automatic Timestamps: A clear visual timeline of your day, built effortlessly. • Mood Tracking: Spot your energy and emotion patterns over time. • Zero Distractions: No streak guilt, no social feeds, no noisy notifications. PREMIUM (One-Time Purchase — No Subscription) • Unlimited Calendar Archive: Revisit any past day. • Minimalist Custom Themes: Match your personal aesthetic. nu. gives your scattered mind a quiet place to land, one moment at a time.
