What is Commitment Radar?
Commitment Radar reads the documents and notes you choose and finds what reads like something you said you would do. Each finding shows the exact text and where it came from, and nothing becomes a task until you accept it. New scans are part of Premium.
At a glance
| Reads | Markdown, plain text, PDF with selectable text, Word (.docx) on the Mac, and notes you paste |
|---|---|
| Sources | A folder or document you choose on the Mac; a document or pasted notes on iPhone |
| Where it runs | On your device, with rules rather than AI. Nothing is uploaded. |
| Never read | Hidden files, files such as keys or passwords, other formats, links to other locations, and folders you exclude |
| Languages | Rules for English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian |
| Plan | New scans are Premium. Everything already found stays viewable and exportable on Free. |
What it looks for
Commitment Radar looks for unchecked items, lines marked as action items, items under headings such as “Next steps” or “Open questions”, and sentences that read like promises: something you said you would do, something someone else agreed to do, or a follow-up you noted.
It tells you how it found each one. Found in the text means the document marks it as open, such as an unchecked item. nubbio’s reading means a sentence reads like a commitment, so you check it.
What a finding shows
- What: a title taken from the text.
- Why: the reason, for example “Reads like something you said you would do, in “Q3 planning notes.md”.”
- Evidence: the exact text, word for word.
- Where it came from: the file or the notes it was found in.
A date in the text stays a quote. nubbio never turns it into a deadline.
You decide
Accept a finding and it becomes a task in My Tasks. Correct its wording, dismiss it, assign it to a project or move it to the Decision Inbox. Corrections and dismissals are kept when Radar reads the same source again, after a restart and after a change of plan.
You control the sources
Radar reads only the locations you authorize. You can pause a source, exclude folders, remove it (accepted findings are kept) or delete its saved text. Work sources need a separate confirmation. If a file goes missing, it is marked unavailable and the saved copy is kept.
Questions
Does Commitment Radar upload my documents?
No. It reads the files and notes you choose on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Does it use AI?
No. Commitment Radar works with rules, without AI and without a network connection. nubbio’s AI features are off until you turn them on.
Will it set deadlines for me?
No. When the text mentions a date, the finding quotes it, for example “by Friday”. No deadline is set unless you add one.
What happens to my findings if Premium ends?
Everything already found stays viewable and exportable. Reading new sources needs Premium.
Which devices does it run on?
On the Mac, where you can choose folders and documents, and on iPhone, where you can import a document or paste notes.
