You put it down. It stopped existing. You know the drill: a reminder chimes once, you're mid-something-else, you swipe it away — and the task quietly leaves the known universe. Noodge is a to-do app built for exactly that brain. (Ours too.) REMINDS YOU UNTIL YOU TAP DONE Pick how often it should check in — every 15 minutes, every hour, or every 3 hours — and Noodge keeps nudging until the task is actually done. Swiping a notification away doesn't break the chain. Tapping Done does. Time Sensitive notifications come through even in Focus mode. HANDLE IT WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Done, +1 hour, or This evening — right from the notification. You can run your whole day from the lock screen. NAGS LIKE A FRIEND, NOT A DRILL SERGEANT • Quiet hours (10 pm – 8 am out of the box, yours to change). No 3 a.m. guilt. • At most about 6 reminders per task per day. • Ignored something five times? Noodge gently offers to move it to tomorrow — or let it go. No shame, no streaks, no red badges of failure. ONE LIST WHEN YOU LEAVE HOME Put "buy batteries" and "return the package" on the leave-home list. Soon after you step out — usually within a few minutes; that's how iOS geofencing works, and we'd rather be honest — you get one tidy digest of everything you meant to do out there. Not five separate pings. One list. START THE NAGGING LATER (PRO) "Call the clinic — but not before 9." Pick a start time and Noodge stays quiet until then, delivers the first reminder right on the dot, and only then begins its gentle pestering. CAPTURE AT THE SPEED OF THOUGHT The keyboard is up the moment the app opens. Type the thing, tap an interval — that's it, two taps. No projects, folders, tags, or priorities. On purpose. ONE PRICE, YOURS FOREVER Three active tasks and the leave-home list are free, forever — full nagging included. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited tasks and scheduled start. No subscription — ever. Your brain is not a monthly revenue stream. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No server. No analytics. Your tasks and your home location never leave your phone — see our privacy label: "Data Not Collected." Noodge is designed for ADHD brains and anyone whose "out of sight" means "out of mind." It is a productivity tool, not a medical device; it does not diagnose, treat, or manage any medical condition. Made by one person who also forgets why they walked into the kitchen. One more thing — this reminder will repeat in 15 minutes.
