Why Nearer feels different

Nearer shields you from the whole list until you need it.

Here’s how: AI turns a goal into small steps. You see one card at a time. Finishing a card takes you to the next. Routines reset on their own, and extra controls stay hidden until you want them.

AI Roadmap

Say where you want to end up. Nearer lays out every step.

Type a goal, like “my passport is renewed” or “the garage is usable again.” Nearer may ask you one quick question first. Then it gives you the steps in order. Each step says what to do, what to have ready, and links to the right website. If a step still feels too big, break it apart.

Nearer makes the small decisions, so you start instead of plan
Break Apart turns any step into smaller ones without growing the list
Finish the small steps and Nearer checks off the big one

Focused view

The list stays nearby. The noise stays out of your face.

Nearer keeps the whole list in the flow, but gives the screen to one card at a time. You see what matters now without losing the thread of what comes next.

Nearer is built to close the gap.

No overwhelming list. No wall of everything you haven't done yet. Just the next card. Day after day, one card at a time adds up to habits that stick, exams passed, and projects finally finished.

Built for the work you keep postponing.

Use the same calm card flow for tasks, routines, and flashcards.

For long to-do lists

Turn a noisy list into one clear next task.

Add every task. Nearer shows you one card at a time. Finish a card and it moves out of the way, so you only see what’s left.

Compare apps that show one task at a time

For repeatable days

Run your routine without rebuilding it.

Set daily, weekly, or custom resets. Check off each habit as you go, then Nearer refreshes the cards when the cycle starts again.

What is Nearer?

Nearer is a card-based to-do app for tasks, routines, and flashcards. Instead of showing every unfinished item at once, it gives you one card to complete, check off, or review before the next one appears.

How is Nearer different from a normal to-do list?

Most to-do lists make you keep choosing where to start. Nearer removes that decision by showing one clear next action. It keeps the rest of the list out of view until you finish the card in front of you.

Why does seeing one task at a time help?

Seeing one task at a time lowers the noise around the work. You do not have to scan a long list, compare priorities, or feel behind before you begin. You only have to deal with the next card.

Can Nearer be used for habits and routines?

Yes. Nearer can run repeatable routines with daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, manual, or completion-based resets. Add each habit as a card, then work through the routine one card at a time.

Can Nearer be used as a flashcard app?

Yes. Nearer includes flashcards for studying. Put one question on each card and flip it to check your answer. You go through the deck one card at a time, and your to-do list stays out of sight.

How do AI roadmaps work?

Type where you want to end up. If the right steps depend on something, like which bank you use, Nearer asks one to three quick questions first. Then it writes the steps in order, each with how to do it and a link to the official site when there is one. You can break any step into smaller steps, as many times as you need.

What happens to what I type into the AI?

Nearer encrypts your goal and steps like every other card. It sends requests only to AI providers that have agreed not to keep or train on what you send.

Is Nearer free?

Nearer comes with a 7-day free trial, and no credit card is required to start it. After the trial, Nearer is $79.99 per year, or $9.99 per month. There is no limited free tier, so the trial gives you the full app.
