STOP THINKING ABOUT WRITING. START WRITING. You don't need more motivation โ€” you need a reminder that won't leave you alone. Nudge pairs persistent writing reminders with a clean, distraction-free editor so you can go from "I should write" to actually writing in one tap. โ–ธ WRITING NUDGES Daily, weekly, monthly, or fully custom โ€” "every 2nd Tuesday" or "last Friday of the month." Color-code your nudges by project or goal, add notes for context, and see everything in a clear timeline: Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Later. โ–ธ A DISTRACTION-FREE EDITOR Bold, italic, headings, lists, block quotes, code blocks โ€” all in a minimal rich text editor that auto-saves as you type. Pin important notes to the top. No clutter, no fiddling. Just write. โ–ธ BUILT TO NAG (ON PURPOSE) Ignore a nudge and it comes right back. Auto-snooze keeps re-notifying until you write or dismiss. Missed reminders surface at the top so nothing slips through. Think of it as the accountability partner who never gives up on you. โ–ธ SNOOZE WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Not ready yet? Tap a custom snooze preset right from the notification โ€” up to five durations you set yourself. The nudge reschedules instantly. No need to open the app. โ–ธ 100% PRIVATE. NO LOGIN. NO CLOUD. Your writing stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no servers. Nudge works completely offline โ€” your words never leave your phone. โ–ธ EXPORT & BACK UP YOUR WORK Save any note as a formatted PDF or plain text. Back up everything as JSON and restore anytime. Your writing is always portable. PERFECT FOR: Writers who procrastinate and need a push Beginners building a daily writing habit Journalers, bloggers, and hobbyist authors Anyone who works better with a little nagging FEATURES: Recurring reminders: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom 8 color categories for organizing nudges Rich text editor with auto-save Custom snooze presets from notifications Auto-snooze for unacknowledged nudges Missed reminder highlighting PDF and plain text export Full JSON backup and restore Light & dark mode (follows system preference) Fully offline โ€” no internet required
