Nudge: calm focus and tasks for ADHD

One thing at a time. A calm task manager for ADHD brains, with a floating reminder, visual timers & gentle nudges.

Nudge is a calm, simple productivity and focus extension designed for ADHD brains and anyone who struggles with focus, procrastination, time blindness, overwhelm, or getting started. Instead of showing you a long task list, Nudge helps you focus on one thing at a time. It keeps your current task visible, breaks difficult tasks into smaller steps, makes time easier to see, and gives you an immediate reward when you finish. Everything stays locally in your browser. No account and no tracking. One Thing at a Time Your Nudge new tab puts your current task front and center. See: • What you should work on now • The next small step • How long it should take • When you should finish Choose a 5, 15, 25, or 45 minute focus session and start with one click. ADHD Focus Timer Use a visual shrinking timer that makes time easier to understand. During a focus session: • See time passing visually • Get a halfway check in • Receive a gentle near end reminder • Get a break reminder after longer sessions • Save random thoughts without leaving your task The interface strips away distractions so you can concentrate on what you are doing. Floating Task Bubble Your current task can stay visible across the websites you use. The floating Nudge bubble lets you: • See your current task • Start or pause focus • Mark a task complete • See the next step • Move the bubble anywhere on your screen You can hide it temporarily, hide it on a specific website, or turn it off completely. Help When You Are Stuck Knowing what to do is not always the same as being able to start. When you are stuck, Nudge can help break a task into smaller actions. Choose how much help you need: A Little Make the task easier to start. More Break it into several actionable steps. Tiny Steps Turn it into very small actions that are easier to begin. You can also choose to: • Work on a rough version for 5 minutes • Switch to an easier task • Turn on focus sounds • Set a reward • Move the task to Later without losing progress Shuffle: Pick a Task for Me Not sure what to work on? Use Shuffle to turn your tasks into a simple deck of cards. Keep shuffling until something feels manageable, then choose Do This One. On low energy days, easier tasks can be surfaced first so you can build momentum without staring at a large task list. Today Timeline See your day as a simple timeline instead of an overwhelming list. Nudge shows: • What you are doing now • Upcoming tasks • Estimated completion times • Your available time • Tasks that may not fit into the day Keep Today focused and move everything else to Later. Gentle Reminders Nudge can remind you about the things you actually need to do. Create: • One time reminders • Daily routines • Weekday routines • Task reminders • Morning planning prompts • Evening close the day prompts Reminders are designed to be gentle rather than stressful. You can snooze them and start a focus session directly from a notification. Distraction Guard Choose websites that tend to pull you away from your work. During focus sessions, Nudge can show a calm pause screen when you open a distracting website. You can: Go Back Return to your task. Save the Idea Capture the thought and come back later. Allow for 5 Minutes Temporarily access the website. You control which websites are included and whether Nudge simply reminds you or pauses access. Meeting Mode Keep your tasks private when you are on a video call or sharing your screen.

Rewards and Progress Finishing a task should feel rewarding. Every completed task can become a collectible card.

It is to make completion feel immediately satisfying. Daily Planning Start your day with a short planning ritual.
