You asked Claude for a workout plan. ChatGPT wrote you a 12-week study guide. Gemini drafted your meal prep. Then they vanished into chat history. Nudge is where those plans live. Paste the markdown once, tell it when and where you need it, and it finds you at the right moment โ€” not a notification you swipe away, but the whole plan, ready to use. Monday 6am, on your way to the gym. Saturday morning at the grocery store. Friday afternoon when you connect to the office Wi-Fi. Three days without opening your study plan. Nudge notices, and brings it back. Five trigger types, stackable: - Schedule โ€” days of week + time window - Location โ€” geofencing with adjustable radius - One-time date โ€” a specific day and time - Inactivity โ€” resurface if you haven't checked in - Wi-Fi โ€” trigger when you connect to a network Your workout plan can fire at 6am on weekdays and when you arrive at the gym. Your budget review can appear every Friday at noon and if you haven't looked at it in a week. Plans render the way the model wrote them. Full markdown โ€” tables, headers, code blocks, blockquotes. Interactive checkboxes and inputs you can fill in as you go. A table of contents for long plans. Scroll position memory so you pick up exactly where you left off. Everything stays on your device. No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your plans โ€” and whatever you generated them with โ€” never leave your phone. Dark mode. Haptic feedback. Native iOS feel โ€” large titles, peek preview, context menus. Categories with custom emojis. Archive, search, share, bulk organize. Free to start. Nudge Pro unlocks all five trigger types, location geofencing, and unlimited triggers for a single payment โ€” no subscription, no recurring charges. Once. Forever.
