Most ideas aren't bad. They're lost. Thinking is a resource. Most people waste most of it by accident — wrong moment, wrong friction, no tool at hand. The gap between having an idea and losing it is where most good thinking goes. Prod exists because that's a waste worth fixing. Capture in seconds Ideas are fleeting. Prod gets out of your way so you can catch a thought the moment it arrives. No setup, no ceremony. Review with a swipe Not every idea needs action right now. Swipe to mark ideas as Active, Paused, or Archived — you can also send an idea to be actioned elsewhere. Stay focused on what matters without losing anything. Timely prods The difference between an idea and something real is usually just timing. Prod handles the timing. Discover your patterns Learn when your mind is sharpest. Prod tracks your ideation habits — your most productive times, your best days, your streaks — so you can work with your creativity, not against it. Prod is not a project manager. It is not a notes app. It is the thing you reach for in the first three seconds of an idea arriving — and the reason that idea still exists tomorrow. Available on iPhone, iPad. Some features require a subscription or in-app purchase. EULA — https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

ALdo – a place to drop your thoughts As an individual in the 21st century, your days are full. At work, at home, at the gym, or on the road—your thoughts appear everywhere.

ALdo gives you one place to put everything. A simple digital brain dump — so you can store a thought before it vanishes, then return to what matters: the present moment. Simple by default Quickly capture thoughts, ideas, and notes No clutter, no forced structure Designed to stay out of your way Powerful when you need it When you have time — or want more control — you can customize ALdo: Turn notes into to-dos Add due dates & reminders Create recurring tasks to build habits Use new building blocks, released gradually based on real user feedback You only use what you need. Nothing more. Built to become a habit ALdo isn't trying to replace everything. It's here to be the place you actually come back to. Simple. Calm. Reliable. So it becomes a habit—not another abandoned app.
