## What is Nudge?

Meet **Nudge — Your Focus Companion**

Nudge is a gamified productivity app that helps you reduce distractions and build better focus habits. Your star companion reacts to your behavior in real time, celebrating your focus and warning you when screen time gets out of control.

Instead of just setting timers, Nudge gives you a companion that grows with your habits.

YOUR STAR COMPANION

Your golden star reacts to your behavior throughout the day.

• Locked In — When you're fully in the zone
• Hyped — Celebrating your wins
• Brain Rot — Too much mindless scrolling
• Fried — Completely exhausted from screen time
• Legendary — Crushing your focus goals

Your star evolves as your habits improve and reflects how you spend your time.

FOUR LIFE MODES

Nudge helps you balance different parts of your day with four activity modes.

LOCK IN — Focus & Productivity
Deep work, studying, or creative projects. Block distracting apps during sessions using Apple’s Screen Time API and stay fully focused.

MOVE — Physical Activity
Use this mode during workouts, gym sessions, walks, or sports to stay active and maintain healthy routines.

VIBE — Leisure & Recharge
Enjoy guilt-free leisure time like social media, games, or entertainment. Healthy downtime is part of a balanced life.

RESET — Mindfulness & Recovery
Meditation, journaling, breathing exercises, or quiet reflection to recharge mentally.

Each mode contributes to your overall balance and progression.
