Nudge Monster

Most reminder apps send one notification and give up. This one escalates. Nudge Monster puts a live countdown on your Lock Screen and keeps nagging β through silent mode β until you actually do the thing. COUNTDOWNS, WITHOUT REOPENING THE APP A live countdown can appear on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported iPhonesβeven if youβve swiped the app closed. ALARMS THAT CUT THROUGH SILENT MODE With alarm permission enabled, Monster mode uses system alarms that can sound through Silent mode and Focus. BIRTHDAYS YOU ACTUALLY ACT ON Bring birthdays in from your Contacts, with the date and the age. A warning the night before and a gift reminder a fortnight out help you plan ahead. When the reminder pops up, call the person or open a WhatsApp chat directly from it. Turn the nudge into a birthday wish while they are still on your mind. THE HALL OF SHAME Your on-time rate, and every deadline you let slide. Uncomfortable, and that is the point. YOUR REMINDER CONTENT STAYS PRIVATE No account. No tracking. No ads. Your reminders, birthdays and photos are stored on your device, with optional backup to your private iCloud account. Starting a countdown remotely uses a reminder service that processes device delivery tokens, random identifiers, scheduling times and technical delivery records. Your reminder text and contact details are not sent to that service. The words in your countdown are filled in on your phone. FREE, PERMANENTLY Unlimited reminders and birthdays. Standard notifications on all of them. One live countdown, Monster mode on three, export and import, and your on-time stats. NUDGE MONSTER PRO Monster mode on everything. Five countdowns at once. Automatic iCloud backup, the Home Screen widget, repeating reminders, gift reminders, and your full history. Pro is a yearly or monthly auto-renewing subscription; the price in your local currency is shown before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings.
