Questions

Is NowNow a task manager for Mac?

You can use it as a simple task list, but its real job is helping you finish. NowNow keeps the one task you chose in view and nudges you back to it at intervals you set.

Is NowNow free?

It will be. When NowNow launches, tasks, nudges, check-ins, Pomodoro and Deep Work sessions and day planning will all be free, with no limits. An optional monthly subscription will add a fresh Focus Mix of images and sounds about every two weeks.

Can NowNow help with ADHD?

NowNow is built for people who drift, stall or over-focus, which many people with ADHD know well. It gives you an outside nudge back to the task you chose, at intervals you set. It isn’t a treatment.

Can NowNow help me stop hyperfixating?

It can help. Give a task the time you think it needs. If you stay on it well past that, NowNow’s nudges get bolder and harder to ignore, so you can decide whether to keep going or move on.

Is NowNow a website blocker?

No. Nothing gets locked or blocked, and you stay in charge of what you do. Instead of shutting distractions out, NowNow keeps bringing you back to the task you chose.

Does NowNow have a Pomodoro timer?

Yes. Any task can run as a Pomodoro, with a set work time and a break, or as a Deep Work session, with a minimum time and no upper limit. You choose the lengths.

Which Macs does NowNow run on?

NowNow runs on macOS 15 or later. There’s no system to set up first. Type one task and you’re going.
