The PrioNudge desktop app Today workspace. The Now section features the active priority task with subtask checklist progress, with Next, Inbox, and Later sections organized below. The task inspector on the right displays subtasks and contextual energy, location, and device attributes.
Today workspace — Now, Next, Later, and Completed stay cleanly separated with custom Windows window controls, today capacity gauge, and instant task inspector.

Most task lists ask you to be disciplined.
PrioNudge asks less of you.

The work isn’t organizing tasks. The work is doing them. PrioNudge is designed to keep the deciding small.

Decide less

Now, Next, Inbox and Later are separate states, not one endless list. Everything doesn’t become equally urgent, and the next thing is already chosen.

Work with time, not just checkboxes

Estimates, focus sessions and a lightweight activity tracker make your real workload visible — not just your task count.

Stay out of the app

Quick Capture, keyboard shortcuts and tray controls keep capturing and finishing work from interrupting the work itself.

Product story

The parts you’ll actually use.

Not a hundred features. Just the parts that remove a decision.

Dead-Time Optimizer

Optimize a spare window into a plan.

Tell PrioNudge how much time you have, where you are and how much energy you’ve got. It ranks what fits and builds one plan you can start immediately.

  • Matches tasks to available time, location and energy
  • Ranks a single next step instead of a long list
  • Turns “I have twenty minutes” into action
The Dead-Time Optimizer modal: selecting an available 25-minute window with high energy, computer device, and work location ranks the best matching task into an executable plan.
Optimize matches your current time, energy, and device to build a single actionable plan.
Quick Capture

Type it once. PrioNudge parses the rest.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Space from anywhere on Windows. Dates, priorities, recurrence and estimates are extracted so you can get back to work.

  • Global Ctrl+Alt+Space capture from anywhere on Windows
  • Natural date, priority and duration parsing
  • Understands recurrence like “every Monday” or “every month”
Quick Capture popup parsing 'Review PR notes Friday 30m !high !now' into structured tokens for title, date, duration, priority, and section.
The parser turns a single line into structured task metadata without taking you out of your flow.
Focus mode

One task. One timer. Zero distractions.

Pick a duration, start the session and let everything else fade back. Focus mode keeps the current task in front of you until you’re done.

  • 15, 25, 45 or 60 minute presets
  • Pause, resume and complete from the timer
  • Optional ambient soundscape to mask distractions
Focus mode: a focused single-task workspace with countdown timer, 15 to 60 minute presets, pause, complete, and ambient soundscape controls.
Focus mode keeps the current task and timer front and center while background work fades away.
Activity Tracker

Tasks tell you what you planned.
Tracker shows what you spent time on.

A lightweight companion to your task list. Start one-click stopwatches for saved activities or record ad-hoc sessions as you work. Daily targets and a rolling 7-day overview keep your actual hours honest without turning into an administrative chore.

  • Saved reusable activities with daily target goals and target-met indicators
  • One-click timers, quick start popup (Ctrl+Shift+T), and manual session editing
  • Chronological History log with elapsed durations and ad-hoc session labeling
  • Custom day rollover so late-night sessions count toward the previous day’s goals
The PrioNudge Activity Tracker showing the summary strip (Tracked today, Targets met, Target time left, Last 7 days chart), saved activities with target goals, and the chronological session history panel.
Activity Tracker combines daily targets, 7-day velocity, and live stopwatches alongside your task list.
Recurring tasks

Set it once. It comes back when it should.

Daily routines, weekdays, weekly work and monthly tasks can recreate themselves as each occurrence is completed, while completed occurrences remain part of history.

  • Daily, weekdays, weekly and monthly cadence options
  • Captures naturally with phrases like “every Monday” or “every month”
  • Completing an occurrence creates the next one on schedule while keeping past records in history
