SelfPush vs Nook

The notes that get through to you are the ones you wrote yourself. SelfPush lets you write a few lines today and have them show up on your lock screen later, as an ordinary push notification, when you are most likely to need them. WRITE NOW, RECEIVE LATER - Save short messages in your own words, as many as you like - Pick a daily push time in Settings. Each day SelfPush sends one of your saved messages, picked at random - Or give a single message its own date and time, for the morning of an exam, a hard conversation or a deadline - Tap the push to read the message full screen, signed "from your past self" - Edit, reschedule or delete any message whenever you like THREE TABS Messages holds your list and shows the next push. Alerts is a history of the pushes that have already arrived. Settings has the push time, the daily on and off switch and a test push that lands right away, so you can see how it will look. GOOD TO KNOW SelfPush schedules your daily pushes two weeks ahead on the phone and tops that window up whenever you open the app, so open it now and then. Delivery also follows your phone's notification and battery settings. The notification prompt appears when you set a push time, schedule a message or send a test push, not when you launch the app. ABOUT THE AD SelfPush is free and shows one small banner at the bottom of the Alerts tab. The Messages tab, Settings and the full-screen message have no ads. Where the law requires it (the EEA and UK), a consent form asks about ads before any of them load, and Settings gets an Ad privacy options row for changing your answer later. On iPhone, the system tracking prompt appears only if that form allows it. Decline either one and every feature keeps working. There is no account and no server of ours. Your messages, schedule and history are stored on the phone, and the ad request is the only thing the app sends out on its own. LANGUAGES SelfPush speaks English, Korean, Japanese and Simplified Chinese, switching with your phone's language. Questions or feedback: contact+selfpush@peppertree.so

Nook is a quiet corner for focused work. Set a timer, work in short bursts, and take real breaks in between. No character to feed, no leaderboard to climb, no streak shaming you for a day off. Just the time you gave to the thing you were doing. COMPLETELY FREE No trial countdown. No subscription. No paywall. No ads. There is nothing to buy in Nook, now or ever. FOCUS TIMER Work, short break and long break lengths are all yours to set. A breathing ring marks the session so you can tell at a glance where you are without reading numbers. Pause, skip a phase, or stop whenever you need to. STOPWATCH When 25 minutes is the wrong shape, count up instead. Take laps to mark stages inside one long stretch. Stopping saves the session to your history like any other. YOUR HISTORY See any day, week or month. A chart shows when you actually focused, and every session is listed with its start and end time. Plain numbers, no scores. OPTIONAL GOALS Daily, weekly and monthly session targets, off unless you switch them on. Missing one does nothing at all. GENTLE REMINDERS Pick the days and times you want to be nudged. Nook says something short and encouraging, then leaves you alone. MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY Six alarm tones to choose from, or none. Light, dark, or follow the system. A quiet accent colour if you want one. Haptics you can switch off. Breaks that start on their own, or wait for you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. No analytics. Everything you enter stays on your device. Nook has no server to send it to. Nook is for students, for people with ADHD who need a timer that does not nag, and for anyone who just wants a calm place to put their attention for a while.
