Messy notes? Nudge cleans them up.
Nudge gives you a strict formatting-engine prompt. Paste it into any LLM with your raw notes, and get back clean, structured Markdown.
1
Pick a template
Choose your workflow: Obsidian/Markdown, Quick Asterisks, or Minimalist Brackets.
2
Copy the prompt
One click copies a strict formatting-engine prompt to your clipboard.
3
Get structured output
Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any LLM with your raw notes. The AI outputs clean Markdown with proper headings, checkboxes, and bullets.
The Engine.
Every line of your notes is classified into one of three types. You never think about syntax — Nudge classifies your input and applies the right format automatically.
Action
Checkbox nodes you can toggle. Click to mark done. The file on disk updates instantly. Your commitments, tracked.
Bullet
Reference items that stay visible but can't be toggled. Notes, context, and reminders you don't want to accidentally mark done.
Plain
Passive context. No checkbox, no bullet. Blockers, notes, and ambient information that anchors your workflow.
Numbered List
Ordered sequences for step-by-step procedures. Keeps execution order intact without manual re-numbering.
Complete HUD Control.
Snap to any monitor
Works across multiple displays. Pick left, center, or right on whichever screen you want. Nudge remembers your setup.
Disappears when idle
Move your mouse away and Nudge shrinks to a 6 px strip. Hover to bring it back. Always there when you need it, invisible when you don't.
Three views, one window
Banner mode shows one task at a time. Expand to see the full file. Settings and info panels stay tucked away until you need them.
Light or dark, your choice
Matches your operating system theme. Smooth, hardware-accelerated animations keep everything responsive with zero lag.
Built for speed. Not for bloat.
We believe your tools should stay out of the way. Nudge is a fraction of the size of traditional knowledge bases.
Buy once. Own it.
Every to-do app charges rent. Nudge is a purchase.
No subscription
Todoist costs $48 a year. TickTick, $36. Nudge costs $15. Once.
You own your data
Every task lives in a single .md file on your machine. No server holds your data. Nobody can revoke access.
Free updates forever
Auto-scroll, drag-drop reorder, global shortcuts, themes. Every feature we build is yours. No upgrade tiers.
The real cost of a to-do list.
Most apps charge by the year. Every year. Nudge charges once.
Nudge price is the full $15. Competitors shown at annual rates. BETA40 drops it to $9.
