Nudge is a simple daily schedule and alarm app for all the small things you keep meaning to do. Take your medicine. Drink some water. Roll the trash out. Stand up and stretch. Pick up the kids. Walk the dog. Call your mom and tell her you love her (dad too, he is waiting). A Nudge alarm takes about ten seconds to set up, and then it just shows up when you need it, like a friend who happens to be very good with time. Nudge is not trying to replace your calendar. Your calendar is for meetings and dentist appointments. Nudge is for the stuff you do over and over, the things that never make it onto a calendar and still manage to slip your mind. Pick a time, choose the days, pick a sound, then give it a name, a color and an icon so you know what it is at a glance. That is the whole setup. Nothing to learn, nothing to maintain. HOW PEOPLE USE NUDGE • Medicine, vitamins and refills, on time and on the right days • Water breaks and stretch breaks during long stretches at a desk • Trash and recycling night, so the truck outside is never a surprise • School pickup, practice, lessons and carpool • Feeding the dog, walking the dog, the cat's medicine • Walk, meditate, journal, whatever you promised yourself back in January • Calling the people you love more often than you currently do FEATURES • Create custom alarms in seconds • Repeat on any day, or any mix of days • Optional 5-minute warning bell so you can finish what you are doing first • Choose from a library of sounds • Name your nudges and give them colors and icons • Home screen widget with today's schedule at a glance • Ask Siri to create a nudge without opening the app • Light, dark, or match your system appearance • Mute everything for a quiet day without deleting a single alarm • Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac NUDGE PRO Pro removes all ads, syncs your nudges across iPhone, iPad and Mac with iCloud, and unlocks more icons and sounds. The free version keeps doing everything it always did. Got a nudge idea we should have thought of? Send it to us from inside the app. We read all of it.
