Focus is hard when life keeps interrupting. Kids, coworkers, phone calls, that thing you just remembered โ€” it all adds up. Most timer apps punish you for being human. Nudge doesn't. **KEY FEATURES** - Gentle timer that pauses without punishment โ€” pause whenever life interrupts, resume when you're ready. No dead trees, no failed sessions, no guilt. - Background execution that actually works โ€” lock your phone, switch apps, put it in your pocket. Your timer keeps running and alerts you when it's time. - Silent vibration mode (Library Safe) โ€” a custom triple-pulse vibration pattern that works even on mute. Focus in libraries, open offices, and shared spaces without disturbing a soul. - Flexible presets โ€” Pomodoro, countdown, or open-ended count-up mode. Build timers that match how you actually work, not how a textbook says you should. - Session history with honest stats โ€” see your real focus time, pause count, and total duration. No inflated numbers, no gamified streaks to stress about. - Smart defaults & day context โ€” time-of-day greetings, remembered last preset, auto-start breaks. Nudge learns how you work and gets out of the way. **WHY NUDGE?** We built Nudge because every focus timer we tried made us feel worse. Paused? Failed session. Locked your phone? Timer stopped. Need silence? Too bad, here's an alarm. Nudge is different: - No shame for pausing. Life happens. Your timer understands. - ADHD-friendly. Flexible structures instead of rigid 25/5 boxes. Time awareness without time pressure. - Warm, not aggressive. Amber glow instead of red alerts. Encouraging copy instead of streaks and punishments. - One-time purchase. No subscriptions draining your account every month. **WHAT'S INCLUDED FREE** - Classic Pomodoro timer (25/5) - Up to 3 custom presets - Full session history - Silent vibration alerts - Background timer execution - All core features, no ads, no account required **NUDGE PRO โ€” $6.99 (one-time)** - Unlimited custom presets - Per-timer analytics and breakdowns - Time awareness mode (periodic gentle nudges for time-blindness) - Shortcuts integration - CSV data export - Priority support All your data stays on your device. No account needed. No tracking. Just you and your focus.

You're not just losing focus. You're losing your life. The average person spends over 4 hours a day on their phone. That's 60 days a year โ€” not creating, not connecting, not living. Just gone. Moku was built around one simple truth: the hardest part of focusing isn't willpower. It's starting. So we made starting effortless. JUST FLIP IT Place your phone face down. That's it. Moku detects the motion instantly and starts your focus session โ€” no tapping, no setup, no negotiating with yourself. Pick it up before the session ends? It stops. No guilt. Just honest tracking. BUILD THE HABIT THAT ADDS UP One session won't change your life. But showing up every day will. Set your daily focus goal, build your streak, and watch yourself improve week after week. When you see "6 hours and 18 minutes reclaimed this week," you won't want to stop. WHAT MOKU INCLUDES โ€” Automatic session detection when your phone is face down โ€” Manual session start for full flexibility โ€” Daily focus goal, streak tracking, and weekly stats โ€” Session history and progress over time โ€” Daily reminders to stay consistent โ€” Focus cards and stats you can share โ€” iCloud sync across your devices MOKU PRO Unlock the full picture: complete session history, advanced statistics, and a home screen widget that keeps your streak and daily progress front and center. โ€” Moku isn't a productivity app. It's a decision โ€” to stop giving away the hours that matter most. One flip. One session. One day at a time. Get your life back.
