Why Nudge

Anticipation is better shared

Everything you need to count down to the big days, and bring your people along for the wait.

👥

Shared countdowns

Invite friends with a 6-digit code, a QR code or one tap from your Nudge Mates, so everyone watches the same day approach.

🔔

Send a nudge

Tap the bell to give someone a little wave. Add an emoji or a quick message, and friends can reply, react, and keep a streak going.

📱

Widgets & Live Activities

Home and Lock Screen widgets with a nudge button, plus a live countdown in the Dynamic Island.

🎂

Recurring events

Birthdays and anniversaries roll over automatically, plus weekly and monthly.

💌

Live invites

Create a nudge with a mate and an invite pops up on their screen seconds later. Accept, and you're in. A bell inbox keeps every pending invite with Accept/Reject.

📍

Location reminders

Get a nudge when you arrive near an event's place. Opt-in, and your location never leaves your device.

👆

Photo pings

Hold a spot on a shared photo to drop an emoji there, tagged with your name. Friends see it pop up in the exact same place for 24 hours. Every member can swipe every picture.

🤝

Nudge Mates

Everyone you count down with, one tap away. Filter your feed by one mate or a whole group, then start a new nudge with all of them at once.

📷

Join by QR

Show your code as a QR; friends scan it from the Join screen and they're in instantly. No links, no sign-up, just iCloud.

One tap to say “I’m counting down too.”

A nudge is a tiny, joyful ping between friends. React with emoji, fire one back, or leave a surprise that unlocks on the day.

Private by design: countdowns stay personal until you choose to share one.

How it works

Three taps to the countdown

No account needed to start. Add a day, make it yours, and share it.

Create a countdown

Pick a date and add an emoji, color, photo, location and reminders.

Share it

Share your 6-digit code or QR code so friends can join, or invite your Nudge Mates in one tap. AirDrop works too.

Nudge & celebrate

Get reminded, nudge each other, and watch the confetti land on the day.

Start from your Calendar

Already have the date saved? Import a calendar event in a tap, and Nudge even guesses the category.

Privacy

Your countdowns stay yours

🔒

Personal and secret countdowns sync through your own private iCloud, which we can’t read. They stay private unless you share them.

⏲️

No sign-up, no ads, no trackers. Nudge uses your iCloud account and runs no servers of its own.

👀

There’s no public feed or search: only people with a countdown’s code or an invite can join and see it. Block or report anyone from their profile.

Worldwide

Nudge speaks your language

Available in 15 languages, so the countdown feels right wherever your friends are.
