Nowline OS — Know What to Do Now. Every Day, in One Page.
Your tasks live in five apps, your projects in your head and your goals in a notebook you never open. Every morning starts with the same question: what do I do now? Nowline OS answers it on a single page, Today, so you can stop planning and start working. ☀️
Built on the C.L.E.A.R. method: Capture, Label, Elect, Act, Review.
🌟 What changes once it's set up
✅ One place to start every day: open Today, see your Top 3, begin
✅ A clear mind: capture any task, idea or worry in one tap, sort it later
✅ Work that matches your energy: high, medium and low energy lists
✅ Daily work connected to your goals: tasks → projects → goals, with automatic progress
✅ A way back after a bad week: rescue routines instead of a guilty backlog
📦 What's included
☀️ Today dashboard: Top 3, Match Your Energy, Due & Overdue, Inbox to Clear, Done Today and Focus Today, all on one phone-friendly page
✅ Tasks with Eisenhower priorities (important / urgent), energy, time needed and context
📁 Projects with automatic progress bars and a "no next action" alert

💡 Why it's different
Most productivity systems assume every day goes well. Nowline OS plans for the days that don't: when you're overwhelmed, behind or back from a break, there's a 5 to 15-minute routine to get you moving again. No catch-up marathon. "Overdue is information, not failure."

❓ Frequently asked questions
💸 Do I need a paid Notion plan?
No. Nowline OS is built for Notion's free plan. Only an optional extra chart in the Focus Log may need a paid plan, and a free alternative is included.
🧭 I'm new to Notion. Is it too complex?
No. Follow steps 1 and 2 of the Start Here guide (4 minutes) and you can already use it today. The rest of the setup can wait.
📱 Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The Today page is a single column built for phones. Capture a task in one tap from anywhere. Add Today to your Favorites so it's always one tap away.
😮💨 What if I fall behind?
That's built in. Run "Overdue Amnesty" (5 minutes, one decision per task) or "Back After a Break" (15 minutes). You never need to catch up on everything.
🔄 Will I get updates?
New versions are sent to the email you used to buy, with a new duplicate link. Your current copy keeps working.
👥 Can I share it with my team?
It's licensed for one person. Each person needs their own copy. You can still share a single task or project page with a client from Notion es Share menu.
