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. LIVES ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A widget keeps today's task and its deadline one glance away — so the commitment stays visible without opening anything. Pick the one thing. Give it a deadline. Get it done. —————————————— FEATURES • One task per day — no lists, no categories, no noise • Lock Screen widget — show the task to remind you • Home Screen widget — keep it front and center • Live Activity — Overdue tasks surface on your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen in real time • App Shield — blocked apps show your task first, every single time • Completion history — a calendar and streak so you can see your momentum build • Streak tracking — see how many days in a row you've closed the loop —————————————— SUBSCRIPTION Nudge is free to use with a 3-day free trial.
