Can't start cleaning? Nudge gives you one tiny task, a short timer and a clear place to stop. Made for ADHD brains and days when the mess feels too big. Start with the energy you have. Break chores into small steps, follow a flexible cleaning routine, and make one corner of home feel better. No perfect schedule required. TRY ONE SMALL STEP Your first tiny task comes before choosing a subscription. Try a step, then decide whether Nudge fits your day. GET UNSTUCK • One Tiny Thing: get one concrete move instead of a whole room to clean. • Start Rescue: follow one physical step when starting feels hard. • Panic Clean: focus on what makes the biggest visible difference before guests arrive. • Scan My Mess: turn a room photo into a focused starting point. • Plan My Day: fit cleaning to your available time and energy. MAKE CHORES FIT REAL LIFE • Follow ready-made routines with one step and one timer at a time. • Skip for today, snooze for later, or park a task on your later list. • Repeat tasks after you finish them, on selected days, every few weeks or monthly. • Add a "then, later" reminder, such as hanging up the laundry after a wash. • Declutter one item at a time: keep, donate, sell, toss, or decide later. HAVE SOME QUIET COMPANY Clean with Mochi, your on-screen cat companion. This is quiet virtual company: no camera, chat or live partner. Voice guidance can talk you through cleaning while your phone stays in your pocket, and widgets and Live Activities keep your timer close. SEE WHAT YOU DID Small cleaning wins help fill the illustrated rooms in Mochi's Place. Earn outfits for your cat and look back at your recent tasks in What I Did. Set gentle reminders, pause for today, or take a break when you need one. Start with one tiny thing. The whole house can wait. SUBSCRIPTION & FREE TRIAL Continued access requires a subscription.

TIME IS INVISIBLE. SQUIBO MAKES IT MELT. If you have ADHD, you know the drill: "just five more minutes" becomes an hour, deadlines sneak up, and clock numbers mean nothing. That's time blindness — and abstract numbers can't fix it. Squibo turns time into a physical thing: a glowing acorn that visibly melts as minutes pass. Your brain finally SEES time moving. That's the whole trick, and it works. MEET SQUIBO A friendly robot squirrel who collects an acorn every time you finish a focus session. Skip a day? Nothing breaks. No streaks, no guilt, no shame mechanics. Squibo is on your side. FOCUS THAT LIVES ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN - Live Activities keep your countdown visible without unlocking your phone - Dynamic Island shows your remaining time at a glance - Home Screen widget starts a focus in one tap - A gentle notification tells you when your acorn is ready Because unlocking your phone is where focus goes to die. BODY DOUBLING — NO CAMERAS, NO STRANGERS The "someone is working next to me" effect, without awkward video calls. Four built-in ambient rooms: Library, Café, Night, and Rain. Sounds start with your focus, pause when you pause, and keep playing with the screen locked. Works fully offline. MORNINGS ON AUTOPILOT Morning and evening routine cards walk you through one step at a time. Finish a card, flip to the next — or skip with zero guilt. Your routine stops being a memory test. RADICALLY PRIVATE - No account. No login.

Both are free to download. Nudge sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Squibo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
