Nag is a to-do app for brains that lose the thread. Every task gets a time. When it arrives, Nag asks whether it’s complete, and keeps asking, louder and more often, until you answer honestly.
The alert takes the whole screen and stays until you pick one. Every answer is recorded, so the pattern shows up later.
Then one more question: was the spoon estimate too low, about right or too high? That is how Nag learns which tasks you misjudge.
A 2-spoon task offers 5, 10 or 20 minutes. Every snooze shrinks the next menu, and nothing can be as long as the last one, down to a one-minute floor.
Park it for the rest of today, this week or until next month. The cascade resets when it comes back. The deferral still counts, double, in your friction score.
Four tiers. The colour, the copy and the sound all escalate. In the app it re-pulses every 30 seconds while an alert sits unanswered.
Rate every task from 1 to 5 spoons. The number sets your first snooze window: 5, 10, 20, 45 or 90 minutes. After you finish, Nag asks whether that estimate held up.
The Friction tab adds it all up by type of task, spoon size and part of the day: what you snooze, what you park, what you underestimate. A pattern you can see is a pattern you can plan around.
On iOS, nags are time-sensitive notifications. Done, snooze and out of spoons are right on the notification, no unlock needed.
Web push reaches your laptop with the tab closed. Ignore it and the server nags again every ten minutes, up to six times per alert.
“Add a task in Nag.” Then dictate the whole thing: call the insurance company tomorrow morning, admin, three spoons. It lands with its time anchor set.
Anchor a task to 9:40, or just to “afternoon”. A time is mandatory. Being vague about which time is allowed.
Every device keeps a full copy and works without a connection. Changes merge when you are back. One emailed code signs you in; there is no password to lose.
Types of task ranked by how often you snooze them and how badly you misjudge them. Visible, not shameful.
If you want a gentle app that lets things slide, this is not it. If you want something that treats a missed task like a fire alarm, and then shows you which tasks keep setting it off, open it.
