There’s a pile. You know the one.

School forms. The thing you were supposed to ring about. The list that lives in your head. Nelawa takes the pile, holds it safely, and hands you back only what matters today.

Early access, when it’s ready. No spam — we’re not that kind of app.

And that’s just the pile you can see.

So you tried the apps. Every one handed the pile straight back — and made you its administrator.

They didn’t fail because you’re disorganised. Admin is exactly what a full head has no fuel left for.

Nelawa says something different. Give it here.

Empty your head — all of it.

One line at a time or the whole pile at once. Nothing gets lost. That’s the promise the rest of the app is built on.

Capturing a thought in Nelawa — saved instantly with 'I'll help you sort it later'

Nelawa does the sorting.

It spots the school form, the bill, the real deadline — and never makes you the administrator.

You get back the few things that matter today.

Not thirty-seven tasks. A few that are truly yours to do — with the first two-minute step already worked out.

Nelawa's Today screen — one task that matters, with its small first step

Early access, when it’s ready. No spam — we’re not that kind of app.

It guards what matters. It lets the rest rest.

Fierce

Real deadlines with real consequences get an unmissable, calm, amber edge. Nelawa won’t let the school enrolment slide — and it won’t let you kid yourself either.

Forgiving

Everything else can slip, silently. Dropping a task is a first-class action, and the pile rests where you can see it’s safe — never lost, never counted against you.

Nelawa's daily sweep — keep, let it go, or leave for later. No wrong answers

Nothing ever turns red. No streaks. No overdue counts. Ever.

It also keeps the calendar, the repeating things and the reminders — quietly, without asking you to manage them.

A note from the founder

I’m Howard. I’m raising five children on my own, and the pile on my kitchen table is not a metaphor.

I tried every app. Each one made me its administrator, then counted my failures in red. So I’m building the thing I actually needed — something that takes the pile, guards the few things that truly matter, and at the end of the day tells me the truth: that it was enough.

It’s a very small team and we’re building it carefully. The waitlist hears everything first.

— Howard

At the end of the day, Nelawa shows you what you did and says the sentence nobody else will say to you.

That was enough.

Built for parents, ADHD brains, carers, and anyone carrying a whole household in their head.

Set the day down. Join the waitlist.

Fair questions

Is this another app I’ll have to maintain?

No. The whole point of Nelawa is that it is the administrator. You empty your head; it does the sorting, the holding and the reminding. If an app needs weekly upkeep to work, it has already failed you.

When does it launch?

It’s being built now, by a very small team, with care rather than speed. The waitlist hears first — and gets in first.

Will it cost money?

There will be a free way in and a paid plan. No figures yet — but early users get looked after.

Do I need an ADHD diagnosis for this to be for me?

No. If your head is full, it’s for you.

What happens to my email?

The waitlist, and nothing else. No sharing, no drip campaigns. When there’s real news, you’ll hear it.
