How to use Nodo

1. Capture anything

Tasks, ideas, reminders, links, random thoughts — just text them.

Nodo figures out the type and asks if it needs more.

Need to renew my passport
Idea: build a landing page for my side project
Remember to call mom on Sunday
Save this article(then paste any link)
Need to schedule a dentist appointment next week
Add submit kids camp forms by May 31st
I want to learn a little French before my trip to Switzerland next Friday
Just thinking about getting back into weight training

You don't need to label anything — Nodo figures out the type and asks if it needs more.

2. How Nodo tracks

Six buckets — Priority, Backlog, Idea, Reminder, Brain dump, Bookmark. You don't have to label anything yourself.

Priority "Finish the investor update by Friday": Things that matter right now. Nodo scores and ranks them so the most important ones surface first.
Backlog "Eventually redo my LinkedIn bio": Things for later. Not urgent — Nodo holds them until you're ready.
Idea "Idea: side project for tracking books I want to read": Early thoughts worth revisiting. No pressure, no scoring.
Reminder "Remind me to call the dentist on Thursday": Time-based nudges. Nodo pings you at the moment. Add a clock time and Nodo will fire a WhatsApp message at exactly that time.
Brain dump "Don't put the pressure cooker in the dishwasher": Unstructured thoughts you don't want to lose. Resurfaces in your weekly review.
Bookmark paste any URL: Links. Nodo auto-fetches the title and groups by source — Instagram, YouTube, articles, tools, and more.

Nodo also tracks projects — a tag you can put on any item to group related things. See section 3.

3. Stay organized with projects

Group related items (tasks, ideas, bookmarks, reminders, brain dumps) into Projects. Projects come into existence the moment you tag an item with one. There's nothing to set up first.

Start a project by tagging your first item:

Add "finalize Q3 budget" to a new project called Q3 Launch
Group the basement stuff (TV, paint, ping pong table) under a Basement Remodel project
Tag this as a Kids item: submit camp forms by May 31st

Add more items to an existing project:

Add submit camp forms to my Kids project
Tag health appointments under Health
Add this idea to Side Hustle

Ask about a project:

Show me everything in my Kids project
What's on Basement Remodel?
List items under Work

Projects are optional — most people start flat and add 1–3 projects once patterns emerge. Use the same name consistently ("Kids" and "kids stuff" become two separate projects). When in doubt, ask Nodo "what projects do I have?" first.

4. Keep things updated

Mark things done, defer them, change reminders, retitle them — same conversational style.

Mark passport renewal done
We tried the ballet dress — done
Amit's bottles are done
Move this to later
Remind me next Friday instead
Change my morning brief to 7:30 AM
Remove the Hebrew name task
Add this to my health project

Nodo remembers context within the thread. "Mark that done" usually works — Nodo refers to the last thing you both talked about.

5. Pause Nodo while you're away

Going on vacation or want a quiet week? Pause Nodo. No briefs, no pings — picks up where you left off.

pause until Friday
pause until June 20
pause from June 10 to June 20
resume
unpause

While paused, morning briefs, weekly reviews, and timed reminders all stop. You can still text things to capture — Nodo will save them but won't ping you until you're back.

Pauses cap at 30 days per request. Need longer? Pause again on resume. Different from STOP — STOP fully opts you out (see the FAQ on the home page).

6. Morning briefs

A short brief every morning at your chosen time.

What's in it:

The top 1–3 things that matter today (Nodo scores priorities by importance and urgency)
Any reminders due today
Anything overdue that quietly slipped

You can reply with what you want to focus on, defer items, or check things off — all in the same thread.

Default time is 8 AM in your timezone. Change it anytime: "Change my morning brief to 7 AM."

7. Weekly reviews

A pruning and refocus check-in, once a week.

It's the most valuable five minutes of your week:

Recap of what you finished
The priorities heading into the next week
A pruning prompt for stale items — things you keep deferring without doing

The goal isn't to add more. It's to keep the list honest.

Default is Sunday 7 PM. Change anytime: "Move my weekly review to Friday 5 PM."

8. Ask Nodo what matters

Anything you've sent Nodo, you can ask about anytime.

What's on my plate?
What should I focus on today?
What's due this week?
Show me my bookmarks
Can you give me a summary of all the things on my list?
Show me my travel-related items
Where is the weight training item?
How are you ranking my priorities?
I want to view my list on the web

Nodo replies in the same thread. For batch edits, ask for the web link.

9. See it all on the web

Go to getnodo.ai/list for batch edits, weekly cleanups, or scanning the whole picture.

Anything you've sent Nodo is there: tasks, ideas, bookmarks, reminders, brain dumps. The web view is best for batch edits, weekly pruning, and seeing everything at once.

Ask Nodo for the link:

Send me my list
Give me the web link
Where can I see my items?

Go to getnodo.ai/list — Nodo texts you a 6-digit code, no password.

For easy access, this link is available in Nodo's WhatsApp contact.

10. Give feedback

Start a message with feedback: — every note goes to the team.

Nodo is in beta. Your feedback shapes what it becomes.

feedback: morning brief comes too early
feedback: wish I could snooze items for a few days
feedback: love the weekly review — keep it short

Nodo also asks for a quick 1–5 rating a couple of times during beta — one number is enough.

Message limits

40 messages per day.

The 40-message daily cap counts both yours and Nodo's replies. Nodo will warn you when you have 5 messages left. Your items are always safe — they just pick up the next day.
