Gubb is a Cross-platform software application for macOS and Windows. The software combines notes, task lists, timers, clipboard history, calculations, and voice-to-text tools in a single desktop app.[1][2] Gubb works offline, storing data locally on the device rather than in the cloud.[2][3][4] gubb also offered a fully functional mobile Web application.[5]

History

[edit]

Gubb was originally launched in 2006 as a purely web-based list application, requiring no downloaded software.[3] The platform allowed users to create, manage, and share unlimited lists online, and also offered a mobile web version.[5] It was co-founded by former White House intern and Walt Disney Company executive Josh Weinstein and Peppercoin founding member Joe Bergeron.[6] By the early 2020s, the web version became inactive. In 2024, Gubb was relaunched as a native desktop application for macOS and Windows by Sohail Hussain.
