Practical and WORKS

The Nudge app WORKS! It naturally fits into how I use my phone and I no longer watch hours of reels and I’m pursuing things that I love again. THANK YOU 🤘 🤘 🤘

Tried the others..this is one different

I tried the other app blockers and this is the only one that actually helped me change my relationship with social media. I can still use my apps but I do it intentionally now and I feel so much better

This one finally did it!

I've used the other apps for years and they never really worked. I barely am on IG any more. Hope downloads are crushing accordingly!

Screen time down 60%

I use Nudge all day long and it's honestly become essential for me. Task mode is amazing… being clear about what I'm actually opening the app for and having it keep me on track is such a simple idea but it works so well.I t already has so many great preventative features. The breathing exercise when you get nudged is great. I even find myself trying to game the timing on the task mode, knowing it takes a second to catch me, but even then it still stops me from mindlessly scrolling, which kind of proves the point.
What I love is that no other app lets me actually use the things that keep me connected to people while breaking the addictive parts that come with them. My screen time is legit down 50-60% consistently compared to before. Like it ACTUALLY works and isn't some hardware thing I have to carry around or plug into. It just runs. Can't recommend it enough.

Expensive and problematic

Works by recording your screen and sending it to Google. Expensive and a privacy concern. There is a 3-day free trial then it costs $90+

Response from developer

Hey there! Nudge's Task Mode feature uses Google's AI to detect if you're distracted. We built it with zero data retention so neither Nudge nor Google stores your screen, and it's never used to train AI models. If you'd prefer no AI involvement at all, Timer Mode is free and uses smart timers to limit screen time. For any questions, please email hello@nudgefocus.co or refer to our Privacy Policy. I hope that helps. All the best, Team Nudge
