Nook.

For when you’ve been “about to start” for an hour.

Starting is the hard part. Nib makes it small.

Tell Nib what you’re working on, pick how long, and hit start. Your screen goes quiet so you can actually get it done. Study solo, or hop in a room with friends.

Get Nook

Out now on Windows 10 and 11, and it’s free.

Focus.

Evening. One thing, then rest.

How long?

Choose a length. Rest when it ends.

Start with the part you already understand.

Go on, try it. It’s just a preview, nothing gets saved.

Nook's quiet screen on Windows: Lab report, methods section, a ring at 17:44, Pause session, and Nib at his laptop.
This is all you see while you work. A timer and a pause button.

Just tell Nib.

Type it or just say it. He talks back, you can cut in whenever, and then he starts the timer for you, so there’s no backing out.

25, 50 or 75 minutes, or no timer at all. Stuck? He’ll find you a first step small enough to actually do, and you can give just that step ten minutes.

lab report, the methods section. I keep putting it off

Nib

Mm, a good place to start. Pick the paragraph that scares you least and write one ugly sentence for it.

ok, start 25 minutes

Nib starts a 25 minute session.

Switch tabs. It comes with you.

Nothing pops up and nothing cheers at you. Open your notes, a doc, or that YouTube video you swear is for school, and Nook shrinks into a little corner panel and keeps going.

Then take a break.

When time’s up, rest for a bit. The break ends on its own, so five minutes doesn’t turn into fifty.

Go again, or call it a night.

Rain, lo-fi, whatever helps.

Pick a background sound, put music on top if you want. It turns itself down when Nib talks.
