ADHD focus — minus the overwhelm
Most productivity apps hand you a wall of tasks and expect a neurotypical brain to sort it out. Nudgel does the opposite — it shows you the single next thing, times a calm focus block, and rewards you with a streak you can actually feel.

A 40-item to-do list is a threat display to an ADHD brain. You freeze, you scroll, you close the app. Nudgel takes the list out of view and hands you one thing — the next thing — plus a gentle push to start it.
The core loop
One tap surfaces the single most important next task. Nothing else on screen to stare at, second-guess, or reorganize for the ninth time. Say it out loud — voice capture types it for you.
A body-double block with quiet, non-nagging encouragement — from a 2-minute "just start" to a full 45. The screen stays awake, the timer keeps its own time even if you switch apps, and you're not doing it alone.
Every focus block earns a square. Watch the dopamine build, day after day — visible progress that rewards showing up, not being perfect.
A two-tap check-in that reframes a rough day without a shred of shame. Missed a day? That's data, not failure — and tomorrow's nudge is already waiting.
Why it's different
No red streaks-broken guilt. No nagging. Miss a day and Nudgel treats it as information, then quietly hands you the next thing.
One clear action at a time. Soft colors, generous spacing, big tap targets. The interface lowers overwhelm instead of adding to it.
Your tasks live on your device. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, nothing harvesting your habits. Open the app and go.

No. Habit trackers give you a grid to fill and a list to manage — more to keep up with. Nudgel takes the list out of view and focuses you on the single next action, then rewards the focus itself. The streak is a byproduct, not a chore.
