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.

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

Three things 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: choose an available time window, location, device and energy level, and PrioNudge ranks a single task into a startable plan.
Optimize uses what you already know about your situation.
Quick Capture

Type it once. PrioNudge parses the rest.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Space from anywhere on Windows. Dates, priorities 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
  • No forms, no clicking through menus
Quick Capture parsing a typed line into a task dated Friday with a 30 minute estimate and high priority.
The parser turns a single line into structured task metadata.
Focus mode

One task. One timer. Full screen.

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 full-screen single-task timer with pause and complete controls and 15 to 60 minute presets.
Focus mode removes the surrounding interface so the task is the only thing left.

Built for Windows

A real native 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-first

Your tasks live in a local SQLite 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

Control focus sessions, track progress, and trigger Quick Capture directly from the system tray.

Native reminders

Timed tasks can nudge you with native Windows notifications, even while PrioNudge is minimized or sitting in the tray.

Spend less time deciding.
Start with PrioNudge.
