The problem with most reminder apps isn't accuracy—it's how easy they are to swipe away. You tap dismiss, get busy, and completely forget. Nudgy's logic is simple: pressing Stop isn't done. You're only done when it's actually finished. Pick the right level for each task: • Light: a simple notification. Great for quick replies or picking up groceries. • Steady: notification + a persistent countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Perfect for upcoming meetings or heading out the door. • Deep: rings like a system alarm and cuts through Silent mode. Built for medication, deadlines, and the things you can't afford to put off. Pressed Stop? It's coming back. When a Deep reminder rings, Stop only silences it for now. You have to open the app and complete a quick confirmation (hold for 3 seconds, or solve a simple sum). If you haven't actually finished, it rings again after a quiet moment—until you do. Your history shows how many times it had to chase you. Say it once, it's captured. • Smart Capture: say "hand in the proposal tomorrow at 3pm, every Friday" and Nudgy parses the time, duration, and repeat rule, with a preview before saving. • To-do list: anything without a time becomes a to-do. Drag to reorder, tick when done. • Place reminders: get notified when you arrive at or leave a place—Deep works here too. • Widgets & Lock Screen: see your next reminder and to-dos on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. • Import from Apple Reminders in one tap. Create with Siri Shortcuts. Finish a task, grow your planet. Every confirmed finish adds mass to the little planet in Stats—from dust and clumps to planetesimals and full planets. Misses never subtract mass. No broken streaks, no guilt—just steady proof of getting things done. At the end of the day, print a receipt of everything you finished and save or share it.
