Overview
Nudge is an app that helps couples get everyday things done without friction.
It's built for relationships where one person struggles more with starting or remembering tasks, and the other ends up carrying the mental load. Instead of nagging or repeated reminders, Nudge makes effort visible and easier to act on.
Features in Action
Treats are cute rewards a partner can offer, pay to unlock bespoke ones
Scribbling out tasks adds dopamine and makes accomplishment fun
Let your partner know you appreciate their efforts, building connection
Unlocking treats creates memorable experiences that get couples talking
How It Works
- ●One partner adds a few Things
- ●The other completes them one at a time
- ●Progress is visible
- ●Effort gets acknowledged
- ●Momentum builds
Moments and Treats sit alongside this to keep things balanced.
Key Features
Things (tasks)
One partner adds tasks ("Things"). The other completes them by scribbling them out — a simple interaction that helps reduce overwhelm and makes finishing feel clear.
The app focuses on one thing at a time, rather than long lists.
Moments
Nudge occasionally adds short prompts for connection, like a hug or a few minutes together.
They're optional and lightweight, and they don't affect progress. They exist to keep things human, not to add more work.
Appreciation
When something is completed, the other partner can send a quick reaction or message.
This makes effort visible and acknowledged, without a conversation.
Treats
Partners can set small incentives that unlock after a few things are done.
They're flexible and personal — and help keep momentum going.
Why Nudge Works
Most tension around chores isn't about unwillingness — it's about getting started, forgetting, and effort going unnoticed.
Nudge works because it:
- ●Lowers the barrier to starting
- ●Avoids overwhelming lists
- ●Makes progress obvious
- ●Replaces reminders with visibility
- ●Avoids scores, streaks, and comparisons
It's designed to reduce friction, not track behaviour.
Who It's For
Nudge is for couples who:
- ●Want fewer arguments about everyday tasks
- ●Deal with imbalance or mental load
- ●Need something simpler than a shared to-do list
It's especially useful when ADHD, stress, or busy schedules get in the way.
The Idea Behind Nudge
Getting things done shouldn't require repeated conversations.
Nudge gives couples a clearer, calmer way to handle the small stuff — so it doesn't turn into bigger problems.
