Nuvo — Your life won’t get simpler. Your week can.
Nuvo is a personal daily planner for one person — calendars, tasks, and projects in one place. Four lives. Four apps that have never met. One line from what you’re responsible for down to 2pm today. Fourteen days free, no card. Nobody else is ever in your account.
A task lands on an hour.

The same move at every altitude. That’s the whole product.
The desk you’re working from
Four apps. None of them have ever been introduced.
Each one is good at its job. Now ask the only question that matters.
Is the thing I committed to in January still moving, given what’s on Thursday?
The list
Knows everything you wrote down.
Not which one matters. Not when any of it happens.
The board
Knows the project exists.
Last touched three weeks ago. It has never seen your Thursday.
The calendar
Knows Thursday, to the minute.
Not what a single hour of it was for.
The note
Knows you were worried at 11pm.
That’s the whole of it.
Four good tools. Not one of them can answer it.
One place
All of it goes in before you can forget it.
⌥Space anywhere on the Mac. ⌘K inside it. Your voice. Type it like a text — call David tomorrow 9am 30m #church !high — and it lands as structure, in one inbox.
That’s the last time you have to hold it.
You know what today is
And it comes back out onto a Tuesday.
A board is where work goes to be admired. Here a scheduled task is the block. One row, one grid, beside the meetings you can’t move.
Work on Google. Family on Apple. Corp on Microsoft. The youth-group ICS feed. Nuvo reads all of them and plans into what’s actually open.

The week
25.9h · 5.6h past your usual 20.3h
No open time left 1
“But is the week real?”
It tells you when the week doesn’t fit — then lets you carry it anyway.
Everything you’ve committed to, against the hours you have left, at the pace you’ve proven. Not the pace you hoped for.
It never refuses you. It just refuses to pretend.
You don’t lose the bigger picture
The thing you committed to in January doesn’t go quiet while you’re busy.
Nothing goes wrong on any given day. That’s how a quarter disappears.
So every project carries a pace, and collisions surface three weeks out — while moving one is still cheap. You run today and you can see the quarter.
You can see where it all went
Not a feeling about the week. Evidence.
Every meeting you attended and every block you finished, assigned to the life it belonged to. Nobody types a timesheet.

Thirteen weeks
Some weeks that number is the most useful thing you’ll read all week.
“Just do it for me.”
Or ask, and watch it show its work.
Say it the way you’d say it to a person. Capture, schedule, reschedule, start a project, decline the meeting. It hands back the row it changed, with an undo on it.
Nothing reaches your calendar because the assistant felt strongly about it.
Ask Nuvo
⌘Jthe Meridian launch needs a run-through before Thursday — find me 90 minutes
Wednesday 2:00–3:30 was your only clear stretch before Thursday. Put it there and attached it to Meridian launch.

Why you can’t just build this yourself
You already own the parts. The answer isn’t in any of them.
A good list. A board where the projects live. A calendar that tells the truth. What you actually want to know isn’t in any of them. It’s the relationship between them.
No amount of syncing turns a stack into a system.
That’s the whole reason this exists. Not a better list — the one line the question can travel down.
Why it exists
I used Motion. It decided too much for me.
It built my day for me. When it was wrong about the thing that mattered most, there was nothing to argue with.
So Nuvo does the labor and leaves the judgment. Every block drags. When it says you can’t carry the week, it still lets you.
— Phil, who’s running four lives and built this for the Sunday night it kept ruining.
No team boards.
Single-player on purpose. Nobody else is ever in your funnel.
Fewer integrations than Akiflow.
Capture is fast. It doesn’t reach into every app yet.
The phone is capture and your agenda.
Planning, projects and the review are desktop today.
Before you ask
What Nuvo won’t do.
It won’t run your day for you.
It composes a week and waits. Every block drags. You promote the work, never the software.
It won’t nag you.
No streaks. No red badges. No debt ledger. It reports; you decide.
It won’t show anyone else.
No shared board. No manager’s dashboard. Nobody watching your calendar.
It won’t make you migrate.
Useful on day one with an empty backlog. Nothing to import.
Everything included
One price. All of it.
No tiers. No add-ons. Nothing held back for a “pro” plan. Mac, browser, and your phone.
