Nudge

Nudge is an app for macOS designed to help users stay focused on their tasks. It monitors screen activity and gently reminds users when distractions are detected. By using AI, Nudge analyzes screenshots taken at regular intervals to determine if the user is engaged in their intended activity. If a distraction is found, the app sends a notification to help the user refocus.

Benefits

Nudge offers several key benefits:-Personalized Focus Sessions: Users can describe their activity and set a duration, such as "I want to vibe code for an hour."-AI-Powered Detection: Nudge takes screenshots every minute and uses a multimodal AI to check if the user is on track.-Real-Time Notifications: If the AI detects a distraction, Nudge sends a notification to bring the user back to their intended task.

Use Cases

Nudge is ideal for anyone who needs to stay focused on specific tasks, such as:-Students: Staying focused on studying or completing assignments.-Professionals: Maintaining productivity during work hours.-Creatives: Focusing on creative projects without getting sidetracked.

Pricing

The cost of using Nudge depends on the AI model used, screen size, and capture frequency. For example, during testing on July 2nd, 2025, a 1470x956 Mac screenshot used approximately 14k input tokens in GPT-4o-mini. At default settings (1-minute capture frequency), this works out to about $0.002 per minute or $0.12 per hour that Nudge is active.

Nudge is available for macOS and can be downloaded from the official repository. The app is released under the GPL-3.0 license. For any questions or concerns, users can contact the developer at felipe AT portalform.com.
