A thought sits on your lock screen until you punch it. Then it’s gone. That’s Nowra. You speak it or type it. It shows up where you need it. When you’re done, you punch it. No list leftover. No Tuesday. Reminders are for a date. This is for now. The next 20 minutes, parked outside your head. How it works • Say it. Apple speech, on the phone. Nothing is uploaded. Or type, if you’d rather. • See it. Lock screen widget and home screen widget. You don’t have to open the app. • Clear it. Punch the chip. Five seconds to undo if you didn’t mean it. Rules • Seven at a time. After that you clear one. • If you ignore it, it dies tonight. • Still need it tomorrow? Tap Keep. One extra day. That’s all. • No account. No iCloud. No folders. No tags. No ads. Free. This is not a to-do app. It does not keep a history. It does not nag you next week. If that sounds small, good. That’s the point.
