What to do right now
Nudge
An iPhone and Apple Watch app that reminds you what you should be doing right now.
What it is
Nudge keeps your tasks and your daily schedule in one place. It looks at both and suggests what you should be doing at the moment, like studying, taking a break, or winding down for bed. I wanted something that felt simple on the phone and easy to check on the watch, without needing a server.
How it works
- 1
You set up your week as repeating blocks like Study, Sleep, Break, and Busy. Blocks can run overnight, like sleep from 11pm to 7am.
- 2
A Swift rules engine combines your schedule and tasks into one suggestion for the current time. That shows up as a card on iPhone and a smaller screen on Apple Watch.
- 3
Local notifications fire for due tasks, before study blocks, and before bedtime. The watch gets the same notifications through the phone.
- 4
Tasks can come in from Apple Reminders and Notion. WatchConnectivity keeps the phone and watch in sync.
