Nudge vs. to-do apps
A to-do app is only as complete as what you remember to type into it. Nudge finds the follow-up for you, from the conversation it started in.

Side by side
| Nudge | To-do apps | |
|---|---|---|
| How a task gets in | Nudge notices a promise or request as it's written, in chat, email or a meeting. | You write it down yourself, after you remember to. |
| Context | Every loop carries the exact message it came from, and who sent it. | Usually just a title you typed. |
| Closing it out | Closes itself once the work is actually done, like sending the reply. | You check it off by hand. |
| Across apps | Reads chat, email, documents, browsers and meetings you allow. | Lives on its own, separate from where the ask happened. |
| Shared team lists | Personal by design, not built for team task boards. | Often built for shared boards and assignments. |
When to use Nudge
You want the follow-up caught automatically, from wherever it was actually said, with the original message attached.
When to-do apps make more sense
You want a shared board your team plans sprints or projects against.
