nudge2.0

The "don't let yourself off" stake feature with the $5 deposit is genuinely clever, turns a todo list into a real commitment device rather than just another pretty planner.

plain text task entry actually worked way better than i expected, and the deposit lock idea is clever enough that id probably use it. pricing seems fair for what it does too.

dropped a few tasks and the AI slotted them around my sleep and lunch blocks without me lifting a finger, which actually saved me the usual sunday night planning headache.

honestly love the $5 stake idea, that's clever. one thing though, could you add a quick "reschedule" option when life happens? like if something comes up on tuesday and i need to push my whole day back an hour without manually dragging everything around. that would save me a lot of friction right when i'm already stressed about the change.

The Slack and Discord integration is a nice touch, but I'd love to see a simple way to share specific tasks or deadlines with a teammate without giving them access to my whole week. Like a public link or one-off invite just for that task.

Hey Product Hunt 👋

I'm Shunsuke, a 20-year-old engineering student in Tokyo, building nudge solo.

Some of you might remember nudge — I launched an early beta here about 3 months ago. That thread shaped this release more than anything else, so this relaunch is partly a thank-you note.

The honest origin story: I'm the kind of person who plans a perfect week in Notion on Sunday and abandons it by Tuesday. I tried Motion, Todoist, TickTick — every tool eventually became one more thing to manage. The app itself turned into a task.

So nudge 2.0 is built around one rule: don't manage. Just do.

• Don't create. Hit ⌘K, type your tasks as plain text — AI turns them into real tasks with durations, priorities, and deadlines.
• Don't plan your day. One click, and AI schedules your whole week around your actual life: sleep, meals, fixed events.
• Don't let yourself off. For the tasks you can't afford to skip, lock $5 (up to $50) on the deadline. Finish and submit proof — you pay nothing. Miss it, and the penalty is real. That's why it works.
• Don't switch apps. Capture tasks, get pinged, and reschedule right from Slack or Discord.
• Don't get lost. One simple workspace: calendar, list, Kanban. No setup, no templates.
• Don't fall behind. Missed a task? While you sleep, nudge quietly moves yesterday's unfinished tasks into today's open slots.

That last one exists because of this community. In the last thread, someone asked what happens when a day goes sideways — whether you have to push everything forward by hand. I didn't have a good answer then. This release is the answer: we call it the dawn sweep.

One honest caveat: Google Calendar sync is already built — it's going through Google's verification right now, and rolls out the moment it clears. Until then, nudge plans around the life you set up in the app: sleep, meals, fixed events.

Pricing: $5 for your first month, then $20/mo (or $120/yr).

I'd love brutally honest feedback — especially from fellow Notion/Motion refugees. I'll be here all day answering everything 🙏
