zen + genug — German for “enough”
Not a task manager.
A loop closer.
Open loops — the unfiled claim, the unanswered message, the payment you meant to check — quietly drain you. ZENUG closes three a day. Then it tells you: enough.
Close a loop and watch the day shrink — three become two, two become one. Close the third and the day is cleared. Scroll the screen; it’s the real thing.
Exactly what ships — same layout, same rules, same palette.
Three loops a day, ranked — deadlines first, then what actually matters. Every card says why now. No browsing, no reordering. Choosing is how you got here.
Done. Later — with a concrete date. Kill — with a confirm. There is no “someday”.
Every loop shows its cost in minutes and the first physical action. Not “do taxes” — “put the folder on your keyboard.”
Close three and the day is cleared — even when the list isn't empty. Want more? The app offers the next loop, ranked — or pick any loop yourself from the pool. Invited, never demanded.
You already think out loud with your AI — researching, planning, deciding. The action items hiding in those conversations are captured into one Notion database: the pool, where every loop lives. ZENUG syncs with that pool in both directions — new loops arrive ranked, and what you close in the app is checked off in Notion. Each day, the app picks the three that matter.
Bring your own keys: a Notion database and a Claude API key, entered once in Settings. Both optional — manual entry always works, offline, with no account.
An open loop costs a little attention every time you remember it. A closed one costs nothing. Most tools help you hold more open loops, more comfortably. ZENUG nudges you to end three a day — then the pushing stops. Anything beyond three is yours to take: the app offers the next loop by priority, or you choose freely from everything still open. The nudge ends. The option doesn't.
No account. No analytics. No ads. No server. Your loops live on your phone — deleting the app deletes them. The optional AI calls go directly from your device to APIs you configured with your own keys. Nothing passes through us, because there is no us in the middle.
Because a list of thirty open loops is how you got here. Three closed loops beat thirty managed ones — the pool holds the rest, and the app picks again tomorrow. After three, more is always allowed — just never demanded.
No. The app is fully functional with manual entry — offline, no account. The sync is for people who want their tasks captured from their AI conversations instead of typed.
No. ZENUG is built for iPhone, iOS 17 and up.
