About

WellnessNudge

Read full description

WellnessNudge helps you add small, restorative pauses to your day without turning wellness into another complicated routine. Choose the moments you want to remember, set a simple schedule, and let gentle local notifications bring you back to your body and attention. Create reminders for everyday resets: Drink Water: stay hydrated with quick water breaks. Deep Breathing: follow a guided breathing reset with calming motion and sound. Eye Rest: give tired eyes a short movement break away from the screen. Stretch: loosen your neck, shoulders, and body with brief guided stretches. Take a Break: step away for a warm 5-minute pause. Focus Moment: settle your attention before returning to work. Each activity includes a full-screen guided exercise, designed to be short enough to use between tasks and calm enough to fit into a busy day. You can start any exercise manually, remove activities you do not need, and customize reminders per activity. Reminder controls are simple and predictable: turn reminders on or off, choose a daily time window, and set how often each nudge appears. Notifications are scheduled locally on your device, so WellnessNudge works as a quiet personal reminder rather than a social feed, tracker, or productivity dashboard. The app also supports light, dark, and system appearance modes, plus multiple app languages with system or custom language settings. Use WellnessNudge to protect the tiny habits that are easy to skip: a glass of water, a deep breath, relaxed eyes, a body stretch, a real break, and a calmer return to focus.
