A lightweight HUD for your tasks. Or: an all-in-one workspace with wikis, databases, AI, and collaboration. These are different tools built for different problems.
The short answer:
Notion is a better wiki. A better database. A better team hub. Nudge is a better to-do list for focused solo work. Notion replaces your docs, spreadsheets, and project boards. Nudge replaces your sticky notes and alt-tabbing. They aren't competitors — they solve different problems. But if you're using Notion just for task management, you might be paying $120/year for a tool that weighs 353 MB and loads slower than a text file.
Notion has a free plan for individuals. Nudge is a one-time purchase. Notion Plus costs $120/year per user. Nudge costs $15 once. Notion Business is $240/year. Nudge is still $15. Different price brackets for different jobs.
Nudge reads a single .md file on your machine. No servers. No accounts. No export. You control the file. Version control it. Back it up. It's yours.
Notion stores everything on their cloud. Your wikis, databases, meeting notes, and tasks live on Notion's servers. If Notion changes pricing, removes features, or has an outage, your workspace is affected. Export is available but not seamless.
Different models. Notion's cloud is a feature for teams. Nudge's local file is a feature for individuals.
Nudge won't replace Notion. It replaces the to-do list you're alt-tabbing to inside Notion.
