Open loops
Loops that check first
A nudge that checks whether you already did it before interrupting you.
A reminder interrupts you on a timer whether or not the loop is already closed, which is why founders stop trusting them. Arden’s open loops check reality first: sent means silence, still open means a nudge that says why.
You say
“Remind me tonight if I haven’t sent John the proposal.”
Arden handles it
Open loop
Tonight, 8:00 PM
Watching
Sent mail to John
How it works
- 01
Arden stores the condition with the loop: what has to be true, checked against your actual mail rather than your intentions.
- 02
At the trigger time it checks. Sent means silence. Not sent means the loop comes back with the reason attached.
- 03
Every nudge explains itself, so you always know why you are being interrupted.
Things to say
You say
“Remind me tonight if I haven’t sent John the proposal.”
You say
“If Alexa hasn’t replied by Thursday, nudge me.”
You say
“Remind me before the meeting if the vendor form is still open.”
Good for
- The proposal you meant to send today
- Threads that have gone quiet
- Chasing replies without keeping a list
- Loops that respect your attention
