A decision layer for your ideas

Stop drowning in scattered notes. Use a simple framework to find what's truly worth building.

A simple framework for clarity

Go from a fleeting thought to a validated concept in three simple steps.

1

Capture every spark

Stop losing ideas in random notes. Give them a home. No pressure to flesh them out. Just get them down before they disappear.

  • Quick capture, add details later
  • Track status from Spark to Released
  • Archive low-scoring ideas without guilt

Find the signal in the noise

Score your ideas honestly against three dimensions. Opportunity carries the most weight because we tend to optimise for fun and forget about whether anyone will actually pay.

❤️ Joy: Will this project energise me?

Are you solving a problem you personally understand? Is this a domain you're genuinely interested in, not just profitable-sounding?

🏝️ Ease: Can I actually build and ship this?

A todo list app is high ease. A Ticketmaster competitor is low ease. Can you ship in weeks, not years?

💸 Opportunity: Is there a real market for this?

This is the most important one. Are people already paying for solutions? Is it painful enough to open wallets?

Decide with confidence

Your ideas are now sorted by a weighted score that balances passion, pragmatism, and profit. The best ideas float to the top. Now you know what to focus on.

  • Focus on the ideas with the highest potential
  • Let ideas marinate. Revisit and re-score them later.
  • Move forward to building with conviction

What IdeaBadger is not

A project manager

A to-do list

A notes app

IdeaBadger is the decision layer that sits before all those tools. It helps you decide what to build, so you can use your favorite tools for how to build it.

Everything you need to decide with confidence

All the tools to capture, score, and shape your ideas in one place.

Quick Capture

Add ideas in seconds. No friction. No forms. Just capture the spark before it fades.

Smart Scoring

Three simple questions. Joy, Ease, Opportunity. A weighted score that cuts through the noise.

Status Tracking

Move ideas through stages: Spark → Shaping → Building → Released. See your progress.

Unlimited Archive

Never delete an idea. Archive it. Let it marinate. Revive it when the timing is right.

Focus by Design

The free tier limits you to 10 active ideas. It's a feature, not a bug. Focus breeds success.

Dark Mode

Built-in dark mode. Because late-night idea sessions are when the magic happens.
