Nudge - Focus Timer
Productivity
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Focus is hard when life keeps interrupting. Kids, coworkers, phone calls, that thing you just remembered — it all adds up. Most timer apps punish you for being human. Nudge doesn't.
**KEY FEATURES**
- Gentle timer that pauses without punishment — pause whenever life interrupts, resume when you're ready. No dead trees, no failed sessions, no guilt.
- Background execution that actually works — lock your phone, switch apps, put it in your pocket. Your timer keeps running and alerts you when it's time.
- Silent vibration mode (Library Safe) — a custom triple-pulse vibration pattern that works even on mute. Focus in libraries, open offices, and shared spaces without disturbing a soul.
- Flexible presets — Pomodoro, countdown, or open-ended count-up mode. Build timers that match how you actually work, not how a textbook says you should.
- Session history with honest stats — see your real focus time, pause count, and total duration. No inflated numbers, no gamified streaks to stress about.
- Smart defaults & day context — time-of-day greetings, remembered last preset, auto-start breaks. Nudge learns how you work and gets out of the way.
**WHY NUDGE?**
We built Nudge because every focus timer we tried made us feel worse. Paused? Failed session. Locked your phone? Timer stopped. Need silence? Too bad, here's an alarm.
Nudge is different:
- No shame for pausing. Life happens. Your timer understands.
- ADHD-friendly. Flexible structures instead of rigid 25/5 boxes. Time awareness without time pressure.
- Warm, not aggressive. Amber glow instead of red alerts. Encouraging copy instead of streaks and punishments.
- One-time purchase. No subscriptions draining your account every month.
