Your most distracting apps stay locked until you go outside. Nature Nudge blocks the apps that eat your day, and the only way to unlock them is to get outside. Hit your daily goal in daylight minutes, steps, or distance, and your apps come back automatically. Less scrolling. More sunlight. A habit that actually sticks. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that steal your time: social media, games, video, anything 2. Set a daily goal: time in daylight, steps, or distance 3. Choose the days and hours you want blocking active 4. Go outside 5. Hit your goal and your apps unlock WHY IT WORKS Most screen time limits can be dismissed with one tap. Nature Nudge swaps willpower for something real: getting outside. Instead of fighting the urge to scroll, you're rewarded for moving, walking, and soaking up daylight. BUILT SO YOU CAN'T CHEAT YOURSELF - Making your goal harder takes effect immediately - Making it easier waits until tomorrow, so you can't lower the bar in a weak moment STAY MOTIVATED - Build a daily streak every time you hit your goal - Life happens: use one grace day per week without breaking your streak - Emergency Unlock is there when you truly need it, but your streak resets PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. With your permission, Nature Nudge reads Time in Daylight, steps, and distance from Apple Health and uses Screen Time to manage app restrictions. Your data is never sent anywhere, not even to us. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone running iOS 26 or later - Time in Daylight goals require Apple Watch Series 6 or later - Steps and Distance goals work on iPhone alone, no Apple Watch needed Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
