Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm Muhammed Nifal, the maker behind Nifu.

I built Nifu from a simple observation: when we're deeply focused on our computers, it's surprisingly easy to forget the things we normally wouldn't forget.

Water.
Breaks.
Movement.
Tasks.
Meals.
Even calling someone we care about.

Most of the tools I've used solve this with another notification.

I wanted to try something different.

What if a reminder felt less like an interruption and more like a little friend checking in on you?

That's where Nifu came from.

Nifu lives quietly on your desktop and gently reminds you about the little things, while knowing when to leave you alone and let you focus.

I also wanted Nifu to feel trustworthy from day one, so I built it around a simple principle:

It cares. It doesn't watch.

No account.
No tracking.
No screen monitoring.
Your data stays on your device.

Nifu is completely free and currently available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

This is still an early product, and that's exactly why I'm launching it here.

I'd love to hear from people who try it.

What would you want your own desktop companion to remind you about?

What would make you keep Nifu on your computer every day?

And most importantly, what should I improve?
