Description

Nudge is a focus app that reclaims your wasted phone time. Instead of blocking distracting apps entirely, Nudge lets you use them exactly how want to.

How it works:

1. Choose which apps you want Nudge to help you with
2. Tell Nudge how you want to use your apps (e.g., "No political content" or "Let me reply to Sarah's message" etc.)
3. Nudge detects if you get distracted and gently pulls you away from distraction
4. Use your phone exactly how you want and waste no time

TWO MODES FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS

Task Mode (Pro)
AI detects when you're distracted from your stated goal. Get a gentle nudge to get back on track. No willpower required.

Timer Mode (Free)
Set time limits for each time you use an app. Simple, effective, no AI.

WHY NUDGE IS DIFFERENT

Other blockers limit screen time, which works for a few weeks until it’s too annoying and people give up. Nudge is the first app to restrict phone use with nuance.

• Not just a blocker (but also a blocker): you can still use your apps, just more mindfully
• Intelligent waiting room designs: the more you use distracting apps, the bigger the friction to access
• AI understands context: scrolling Instagram for a friend's post? That's allowed. Falling down a Reels rabbit hole? You'll get nudged.
• Builds better habits: over time, you'll naturally become more intentional

PERFECT FOR:

• Never checking "just one thing" that turns into an hour
• Stopping to use media that steals your focus
• Those fed up with other basic app blocking solutions
• Anyone who wants to use their phone, not be used by it

Timer Mode is completely free.
