This is a blog post.
Companies have blog posts.
Therefore, we have one too.
audajo is a company that builds software.
Sometimes tools.
Sometimes apps.
Sometimes things that end up being used in ways we did not plan for.
This blog exists to document that.
Let's be clear right away.
Nistory shows ads.
This wasn't an accident. This wasn't a shortcut. This wasn't something we forgot to "fix later".
Nistory is not free.
You don't pay with money. You pay by seeing ads.
And that tradeoff is intentional.
Notifications are surprisingly personal.
They include:
Many apps solve notification history by doing the obvious thing: they move that data somewhere else.
We didn't want that.
Your notification content is yours. Reading it again should not require sending it away.
Your notification data stays:
It is not uploaded. It is not synced. It is not shared.
Not with us. Not with third parties. Not with anyone.
If an app can read your notifications, that doesn't mean it should collect them.
Because the app still has to exist.
Development, maintenance, updates, and support don't happen magically.
We chose a model where:
Ads were the cleanest way to do that.
They don't require storing your notification data. They don't require sending it anywhere. They don't depend on what your notifications contain.
Nistory is not free.
It costs:
Your notification content stays where it belongs.
On your device. With you.
No hidden sharing. No silent copies. No secondary use.
Just an honest tradeoff.
And that matters.
You wanted to do one simple thing.
Maybe generate a QR code. Maybe check a notification you accidentally dismissed. Maybe just use a tool and move on with your life.
Instead, the internet said:
"Before we begin, please create an account."
Then it asked for your email. Then it sent you a verification link. Then it showed you a pricing page. Then it added cookies. Then it added tracking. Then it added more tracking.
For a tool you'll use once.
Impressive.
Somewhere along the way, we collectively decided that every small utility must become a growth‑optimized SaaS product.
With dashboards. With onboarding flows. With founders writing long posts about "user journeys".
We didn't want to be part of that.
So we built audajo.
audajo is a place for tools that:
You open the site. You use the tool. You leave.
No account. No unnecessary tracking. No analytics watching your cursor like a wildlife documentary. No "just one more step".
If a tool needs tracking to justify its existence, maybe the tool isn't very good.
If a QR code generator needs a login, something went very wrong.
audajo exists because the internet forgot that software can be boring, small, and useful — and that this is actually a feature.
This blog will not publish growth hacks or productivity porn.
It will complain about bad software. It will explain why privacy matters. It will ship small tools. It will remove features instead of adding them.
If that sounds refreshing, welcome.
If not — there are plenty of dashboards waiting for you.
