Small Steps vs Nudge

Small Steps is a habit tracker app. Instead of managing your time or reminding you of your tasks, it focuses on helping you to build good habits and track them by calendar and charts. With a little persistence, even the smallest steps can take you to faraway places.

Nudge is built for you to ACT. Most focus apps add. Nudge removes. You don't need another dashboard, another streak to protect, or another 25-minute timer. You need to finish the one thing you keep putting off. HOW IT WORKS 1. Each morning, name your one task. 2. Set the deadline you're giving yourself. 3. Pick the apps that pull you away. Until that task is marked done, those apps stay behind a soft lock. Open Instagram, TikTok, or whatever your weakness is, and Nudge quietly reminds you what you were supposed to be doing — then lets you decide. NOT A TIMER. A FINISH LINE. Session blockers free you for a window of time. When the clock runs out, you're back to square one. Nudge ties the unlock to the work itself. The block lifts when the task is done — not a minute before, not a minute after. ONE TASK. ON PURPOSE. A to-do list with forty items is just forty ways to feel behind. Nudge holds exactly one. The one that matters today. Everything else can wait until you've earned the right to think about it. A STREAK THAT WON'T PUNISH YOU Miss a day and nothing burns down. The streak is there to encourage, not to guilt. There are no points to farm, no trees to kill, no leaderboard to climb.
