About

You don't decide to open Instagram. Your thumb just does it. Nudge is built specifically for ADHD brains that act before they think. It's not a blocker. It's a pause — a few seconds of space between the tap and the scroll, so you can actually choose. HOW IT WORKS → Pick the apps that steal your time — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Snapchat, or anything else → When you open one, Nudge gently interrupts with a short pause → Choose how it pauses you: a countdown, a quick "why am I opening this?" check-in, a breathing moment, or a short reflection → Then decide — continue in, or go back. No shame either way. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most screen time apps lock you out completely. That works for a few days, then you turn it off out of frustration. Nudge doesn't fight you. It just asks you to notice. That one small moment — built on real behavioral research — is enough to break the autopilot loop most ADHD brains get stuck in. BUILT FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN ACTUALLY WORKS - No shame, no lectures — just a gentle check-in - Pick your pause style: countdown, intention check, breathing, or reflection - See your daily streaks and how much time you've reclaimed - Track your patterns — when you scroll most, which apps pull you in, what's working - Works fully offline, your data stays on your device WHAT PEOPLE WITH ADHD ARE SAYING "I've tried every blocker. They all made me feel punished. This one just makes me pause — and that's actually enough." "The 'why am I opening this' question is the first thing that's ever made me put my phone down before I even started scrolling." GET STARTED IN UNDER 2 MINUTES Set up takes one quick permission and picking your apps. No complicated automations, no fiddly settings. Open Nudge, set it up once, and it works in the background from then on. Nudge is free to try. Upgrade anytime to unlock unlimited apps, all pause styles, and your full insights. Your brain isn't broken. It just needs a beat before it acts. Nudge is that beat.
