Not Another Task App

Download for macOS
Release 1.1.4 — Sonoma Ready

There are already plenty of good task managers: Todoist, Things, Reminders, Notion, Linear, and many others.

Most of them ask you to switch into a system. Open an app, pick a project, clean up a list, and decide where everything belongs.

Nook is built for the moment before that. Capture the thought from the edge of your screen, then go back to work.
