This is one of our most exciting updates to date. We have been heads down this summer to refactor NOODS based on the community’s feedback of the app running too slow. The purpose of NOODS is to run it idle in the background as you work on your computer. We have refactored it for Windows to run much faster, fix memory leak issues, plus a whole swath of bug fixes. We still have many more bugs to go, some tricky ones as well.
This summer, we’ve been heads-down making NOODS faster, smoother, and ready for long idle runs while you work or game. Thanks to your feedback, we tracked down the slowdown issues and gave our Windows build a full refactor.
We’ve still got some tricky bugs to tackle, but this update is a huge leap forward.
Next up, we’re diving into two of the most requested community features:
Blocklist Mode: time-limit specific websites and apps
MacOS Version: long-awaited and finally in the works
Thanks for sticking with us while we make NOODS the perfect desktop companion. Keep the feedback coming, it’s powering every update!
