Now on the App Store — and on Google Play.

The problem

Your best thoughts have the worst timing.

They arrive in the car, in the shower, halfway through something else — and they’re gone by the time you could have typed them. Nodus is built for that exact moment: hold one button, say it, move on. The thought is safe, structured and scheduled before your phone is back in your pocket.

How it works

  1. The Nodus home screen, with the capture button at the bottom

    01

    Hold and speak

    One button. Say the thing — a task, an idea, a goal with a deadline.

  2. The AI-proposed plan — steps, due date and reminder — ready to save in one tap

    02

    It becomes a plan

    AI turns your words into a titled item with steps, a due date and the right reminder. You approve it in one glance.

  3. A Nodus item later that day — reminder set, first step already checked off

    03

    It comes back at the right time

    Reminders fire on your phone and your watch. Check steps off anywhere — phone or web — and everything stays in sync, instantly.

A second look

Same Nodus, written like a letter.

Paper is a second appearance for Nodus: warm eggshell, a serif voice, and an assistant that replies in plain prose instead of chat bubbles. Same capture, same sync, same reminders — just quieter. It is an optional paid theme pack, sold on the web app.

  1. The Nodus home screen in Paper — a warm eggshell list of today's items

    Warm, not stark

    Eggshell in place of dark glass, a serif voice for titles and summaries — the same items, steps and reminders, in a different light.

  2. A Nodus item in Paper — steps, due date and reminder set as a ruled page

    Ruled, not boxed

    Stamped caps labels and hairline rules instead of cards and shadows — every field still exactly where you left it.

  3. The Nodus assistant in Paper, replying in plain prose set off by a rust margin rule

    Correspondence, not bubbles

    Your question sits in the margin; the assistant answers in plain running text — read like a note, not a chat log.

What Nodus does

Capture is where it starts.

Nodus is a capture app and to-do list in one. Four things people ask about most:

  • A voice to-do list

    Hold a button, say the task, and get steps, a due date and a reminder. Type it instead if you would rather.

  • Renewals that repeat

    Licence disc, car service, SARS return, passport: add one once and Nodus brings it back every year.

  • Focus mode

    One item and its steps on the iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, or in an Android notification.

  • Siri and shortcuts

    Say “What’s due in Nodus”, or start a capture from an Android shortcut or Quick Settings tile.

Private by design

Your thoughts are yours.

  • Recordings are never stored on our servers. On your device they delete themselves 7 days after you save an item, unless you choose to keep them.
  • Start without an account. Sync only if you sign in — with an emailed link, never a password.
  • The free plan shows ads; paying removes them. Nothing you capture is ever sent to an advertiser, and we don’t sell your information.

Questions

The short answers.

What is Nodus?

Nodus is a capture-first to-do app from Torus Solutions, a South African software company. You say or type a thought once, and AI turns it into a to-do, goal, idea or routine with steps, a due date and a reminder.

Is this the same as other apps called Nodus?

No. Several unrelated products share the name. This one is the voice to-do list and capture app by Torus Solutions, at trynodus.com, on the App Store and Google Play.

Is Nodus free?

Yes. Nodus is free to download and use, with a daily allowance and ads. Nodus Premium removes the daily limits and the ads, and optional theme packs change how the app looks. Both are bought on the web.

Does Nodus work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. It is on the App Store and Google Play, and there is a web version at app.trynodus.com. Sign in and your items sync between them.

Do I need an account?

No. You can start without one. Sign in with Apple, Google or an emailed link only if you want sync and backup.

Can I use it hands-free?

On iPhone you can capture a task and ask what is due with Siri, for example by saying “What’s due in Nodus”. On Android there are home-screen shortcuts and a Quick Settings tile that start a capture.
