The PrioNudge Today view. The Now section holds two prioritised tasks — one marked Deep Work, one marked High priority — with Next, Inbox and Later sections below, and a task inspector open on the right.
Today view — Now, Next, Inbox and Later stay separate states, so everything doesn’t read as equally urgent.

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

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.

Three things you’ll actually use.

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

The Dead-Time Optimizer: choose an available time window, location, device and energy level, and PrioNudge ranks a single task into a startable plan.

Optimize

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.

Quick Capture parsing a typed line — 'Apply IBM networking job Friday !high 30m' — into a task dated Friday with a 30 minute estimate and high priority.

Quick Capture

Type Apply IBM networking job Friday !high 30m and press Enter. The date, priority and estimate are parsed for you.

Focus mode: a full-screen single-task timer with pause and complete controls, 15 to 60 minute presets and optional ambient soundscape.

Focus mode

One task, one timer, full screen. Sessions are logged to the Activity Tracker, so you can see where the day actually went.

A real Windows app,
not a browser tab.

PrioNudge installs like any other Windows program and runs in its own window. Nothing to keep open in a tab, nothing to sign into, nothing leaving your machine.

Local SQLite
Tasks live in a database on your machine. No account, no sync service, no server.
Automatic updates
New versions download and install themselves, after the update signature is verified.
Keyboard-first
Ctrl+K for commands, Ctrl+N to capture, J/K to move, 1/2/3 to reprioritise.
Tray integration
Start a focus session or capture a task from the system tray without opening the window.

Spend less time deciding.
Start with PrioNudge.
