Read full description

Nodge is a Health companion built around soft, living orbs. Each one tracks a metric you turn on. Close the gap on today’s goal and the orb fills with light. Ease off and it settles. Quick to read, not another dense dashboard. FEATURES • Orbs for steps, sleep, active calories, stand hours, and exercise • Swipe the home screen to move between enabled metrics • Daily targets you can tune per metric • Optional nudges when steps are on but you have not moved much in a while • Apple Health (read only for what you enable) • Light and dark UI, Home and Settings in a standard tab layout • Nodge Pro: full orb colour set plus Home and Lock Screen widgets with live numbers from Health WHY NODGE Most trackers look the same. Nodge keeps one clear focal orb per pillar so checking in feels fast and personal, whether you care about steps or the rest of your rings. PRIVACY Only the Health types you enable are read to power the app and widgets. No account. No Nodge servers for your Health numbers. Nothing sold. Your data stays with you and Apple. SUBSCRIPTIONS (NODGE PRO) Pro is optional. It unlocks every premium orb colour and Home and Lock Screen widgets. Core tracking, goals, and notifications stay free. Billed monthly or yearly through your Apple ID. Renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. The app does not include a free trial; any intro pricing would come only from App Store Connect for that product.
