Nozbe - app for SMART business owners and teams - turns 17!
✅Nozbe,💼Business,✏️Drawings,⭐️Featured
Last week, on February 1, Nozbe turned 17 years old and as I reflect over these last years I’d like to dig deeper into who is Nozbe really for? While working with Seth Godin’s marketing book I was thinking how to really convey to our current and future customers what we as Nozbe believe in. What’s our why? Because people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it. Not only our core values but also how we work, how we’re remote first, we don’t use email to collaborate, or have very few meetings. How to create this tension and play with status. How to say that people like us do things like this. Being a productivity nerd and loving the SMART acronym for goal setting, I decided to piggy-back on it and create my own way.

Nozbe has always been a promise of better productivity
I founded Nozbe 17 years ago, back in 2007 because I needed a digital tool to implement David Allen’s Getting Things Done - I wanted to work in a better way. And many people wanted it, too.
This was my first promise: with Nozbe you will implement GTD (Getting Things Done) in a digital way and it will make you more productive.
The first customers came over because people like us do things like this which meant:
People like us (who read the book by David Allen and wanted to implement GTD - Getting Things Done - in a digital way), use Nozbe to get it all done.
Nozbe wasn’t a generic to-do app. It was a to-do app for people implementing getting things done methodology.
Today Nozbe has matured into a productivity tool for Small Business Owners - and we call them SMART for a reason!
It’s been 17 years since I started Nozbe and things have progressed. Our app is no longer just for people who know GTD, but it’s for any busy professional out there. Especially small business owners, who want to work in a smart way.
Nozbe is for smart business owners and their teams.

You can access Nozbe’s powerful features through its simple interface. Even non-tech savvy people can quickly learn to use Nozbe. The app is available on all the platforms (computers, smartphones and tablets) with its simple structure of: projects, tasks and comments.
- Believes MEETINGS should be regular, optional and well prepared so that there is more time to getting work done.
As you add feedback in comments to tasks in Nozbe, most “status” meetings become unnecessary. Everything is being discussed in a written form asynchronously. You regularly host only few meetings and only if they are really needed.

Nozbe exists to serve Smart Business Owners
Nozbe users are busy professionals, solo-preneurs and small and medium-sized businesses of 10, 20 or more people from diverse industries. Nozbe is not for enterprise.
Nozbe is for smart businesses that want to out-smart the enterprise.
When I started Nozbe 17 years ago I believed there was a place on the market for a tool that would help busy professionals simply get things done. Hundreds of thousands of users later, I see Nozbe helping smart business owners and their teams be more organized, serve their customers better and outsmart their competitors, while having a better work-life balance and finding more joy at their work. This is the Nozbe way.
After 17 years of running Nozbe I’m still excited about it. Are you in?
