Struggling with everyday things. Like not forgetting your keys? Drink some water in the morning. Or losing yourself in the darkness that is time blindness? I know that very well. My whole life. Always thought I was forgetful and unfocused. Until I got diagnosed. Then I knew I was really forgetful and unfocused by design. I learned, I was not wrong but in a different way right.
And as I am a coder, I built myself an app for simple checklists. Because I know my brain cannot handle that on its own, or only with a sheer amount of energy. Starting every day from scratch. Regular To-Do-apps and trackers were either too complicated or resulted in shame by showing me that I ruined another streak. Also, I need a mechanism to prevent me from checking something of mindlessly and then not doing the thing. So Noggi will remind make sure you are really attentive when checking the important things.
After forgetting my keys the 100th time, sitting with undone hair in Zoom meetings and taking double doses of my ADHD meds because I forgot I did already, I decided that I desperately needed checklists for the most basic things. From morning routines through meeting preparations or just leaving the house.
And because I am a developer I made an app out of it.
Noggi is simple checklists for leaving the house, morning routine, meds — where the critical items ask twice whether you really did them. No streaks, no shame stats, no subscription.
Love the no-tracking, pay-once approach, feels refreshing. One idea that would help me: add a simple "recurring checklist" option so routines like weekly cleaning or trip packing reset automatically without me having to duplicate them each time.
@safiyeljul Oh. They already do once you checked all mandatory and regular items. You can then – and even before – just close the list. It will start fresh.
@safiyeljul „Noggi“ wants to help you – not berate you all the time. If you decide a list is done, do so.
love the no-subscription angle and the calm vibe. one thing i'd really love is a way to share a checklist with someone, like a grocery list with my partner or a packing list for a trip with friends, just a simple link they can view and tick off without needing to install the app themselves.
@merve1557163 That's a really great idea. I will think about it. But then I wanted to keep it as „offline“ and as simple as possible.
It would also mean that I would have to introduce user profiles. Which would be another thing to maintain for users. As this is targeted at neurospicy folks, I wanted to reduce the barriers to use it to a bare minimum.
What you already can do is export and import templates. But that's not what you are looking for, right?
the pay once and done thing is honestly so refreshing, feels like the team actually thought about user trust instead of just chasing recurring revenue
@lknur289838 Thanks. Yeah. I made this app first for myself. It has a simple concept and no roadmap to grow into something huge. Just wanna mantain it as it is. It's the core concept: This app should not stand in your way but help you get forward.
The only planned option is maybe a online library of routines, so people can share them with each other. This will be free too and be paid by the one time sells as that would be the only online traffic. No tracking or something whatsoever. App is not talking to anyone or anything.
Finally tried Noggi and the one-time purchase model sold me before I even opened it. The checklists feel calm and intentional, which is a nice change from the usual task managers yelling at you.
@smetslnhatkhjp That is so kind. It was an idea of my wife „Why don't you use checklists?“ To make it into an app was given to me as a developer. Never planned to publish. But the feedback from some people who saw it made me think: Maybe there are more people out there who forget their keys every other day or, when running, recognize after a few kilometres that they totally forgot to hydrate. And so on.
