About

Nudge Nudge

Read full description

Nudge Nudge was built so everyone can recapture the love for their hobbies, accomplish their goals, and spend a little less time on social media platforms! Create a Nudge to remind you every Wednesday to read that book you recently bought! Create a Nudge to remind yourself to stay mindful every day at 5 p.m. before you drive home from work! Nudge Nudge lets you: - Keep track of all your hobbies or goals without the hassle of a complex to-do list. - Easily create unlimited reminders to send you notifications as a Nudge to stay on track. - Keep track of your progress with short notes attached to each Nudge you create. This is great for keeping track of the progress you are making in a video game, or key plot points of the book you are reading. - Customize every part of your nudge from its color, emoji, title, and reminder text. Some features require a subscription to Nudge Nudge Pro. Nudge Nudge was created by a solo developer based on the West Coast. NO invasive company trying to collect and sell your personal information for profit. I built this app since it accomplished something I always wanted, which was a friendly reminder to put down social media and put my effort into the things that bring me the most joy.
