Nudge is a homework planner and assignment reminder app for students. Connect Canvas, Schoology, Blackboard, Brightspace (D2L), Moodle, Sakai, ManageBac, Veracross or Blackbaud once, and every due date lands in one list, with a nudge before each deadline. Meet Pip, a small bird who lives on your windowsill. When something's due, his crest perks up and he nudges you, early enough to actually do it. WORKS WITH YOUR SCHOOL'S LMS - Canvas - Schoology - Blackboard - Brightspace (D2L) - Moodle - Sakai - ManageBac - Veracross - Blackbaud (myschoolapp) - Any other school calendar link (.ics) HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your school's platform. Nudge shows you exactly where its calendar link is. 2. Paste the link once. Every dated assignment, quiz and exam shows up, sorted by due date. 3. Pip nudges you before each deadline. If a teacher moves a due date, he tells you what changed. Nudge never asks for your school password. It reads the same private calendar link your school gives you for Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. TYPE IT LIKE A TEXT "stats quiz friday 10am" is a complete entry. Nudge reads the date and time straight out of what you type. No date pickers, no forms. ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S NEXT Home opens on a live countdown to whatever's due first. It turns rose when it's close. NUDGED, NOT NAGGED Nudges only come for real deadlines, things due together share one nudge, and nothing lands overnight. Pip moves those to the evening before. LATE STILL COUNTS No streaks, no grades, no guilt. If something slips, Pip helps you send it anyway, and Mark all done clears an old backlog in one tap. MEET PIP He cheers when you finish something, naps when nothing's due, and gets dizzy if you boop him too much. His windowsill follows the seasons. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Nudge works fully without signing in, and your assignments stay on your phone. Sign in only if you want your school link kept for a new phone. NUDGE EARLY BIRD (OPTIONAL) Everything above is free forever. Early Bird is for getting ahead: - A morning brief at wake-up: what's due today, and what to start - Plan it out: big essays, projects and exams split into small sessions, re-planned if one slips - Nudges two days early, plus a head start on big work - A live Lock Screen countdown for the last two hours before a deadline - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets - Snooze in your own words, like "remind me after practice" Early Bird is an auto-renewing subscription with a 1-month free trial on the yearly plan, or monthly. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Nudge reads standard .ics calendar feeds that you copy from your own school's site.
