Everything still open goes on the list. If it's written down, your brain can stop tracking it.
Sundown for Windows · by Nowak
You stopped working at six.
Your mind didn't.
Sundown is a three-minute evening ritual that gets every unfinished task out of your head, decides what happens to it, and lets you actually stop.
Try the full app for €5 for 7 days. Then €19/month. Cancel before renewal to avoid the next charge.
Sundown— ☐ ✕
01 / the problem you didn't know you had
It's called attention residue.
When you stop in the middle of something, part of your attention stays behind with it. Close the laptop with ten loose ends and your brain keeps quietly tracking all ten: at dinner, in the shower, at 2 a.m.
- You replay tomorrow's to-do list while someone is talking to you.
- You “just check one thing” at 9 p.m. and lose the evening.
- Sunday evenings feel like Monday mornings.
It isn't a discipline problem. It's an open-loop problem, and open loops close when you write down a plan for them.

02 / how it works
Three minutes.
Then you're done.
At your sundown, a Windows notification turns the sky in the app gold and Sundown walks you through closing the day. Each step brings the sun a little lower.
Decide
One card at a time: tomorrow, park it, let it go, or done. Tasks you keep dodging get flagged as ghost loops.
First move
Pick what starts tomorrow and write its first small step, so morning-you has nothing to figure out.
Close
Note one good thing, press and hold. The sun sets, the stars come out, and the day is officially over.
03 / made for Windows
Lives quietly in your tray.
- A sundown reminder as a Windows notification when your workday should end.
