What nowU is
nowU is a web task planner that places tasks on a calendar with meetings, helping you organize a daily plan. Its planning method is time blocking: reserve time for work, then drag a task onto a calendar slot to schedule it. If a task remains unfinished, nowU moves it to the next day’s first free slot. The service offers two-way synchronization with Google Calendar and Apple Calendar. While you type, smart tags suggest labels from the task text. Keyboard controls support capturing, scheduling, rescheduling, and completing tasks, while Cmd-K opens the full command set. Task views include Inbox, Today, Scheduled, Completed, and Deleted. nowU is free while in beta, with no card required; its Beta plan is free. It runs on the web, and the site says signup takes two minutes.
