Nudgling: Stop Doomscrolling

HidDehris App Studio

About this app

Caught yourself scrolling again? Nudgling is the kind friend who taps your shoulder mid-scroll. It doesn't block anything or make you feel guilty. It just breaks the momentum with a tiny win.

Tap once and your pet buddy gives you something small and real to do, away from the screen: 10 squats, a glass of water, a slow breathing round, a quick stretch. Put the phone down, your pet counts you through it, and you get a little celebration when you're done.

Why it works
• No decisions. Tap "Surprise me" and go. Most breaks take under a minute.
• Screen-free. The app counts reps and breaths out loud, so you don't have to look.
• Kind, no guilt. Your pet cheers you on and never makes you feel bad for a quiet day.

What's inside
• Catch the scroll: pick one app, and your pet pops up with a tiny break when you've scrolled too long. Optional; uses usage access, stays on your phone.
• 65 quick breaks for your body and mind: squats, push-ups, stretches, posture resets, eye rests, water, tidying, calming breaths.
• Your own breaks: add up to 3 of your own, like watering the plants or making tea.
• Each break says what it did for you: refresh your mind, better posture, calm down, rest your eyes and more.
• Audio guidance: a 3-2-1 countdown, a rhythm to move to, spoken counts and a proper ta-da at the end.
• A pet buddy to grow: choose Kopi the cat, Biscuit the dog, Pip the bunny or Bruno the bear. Earn XP, level up and unlock outfits.
• Moments: see the moments you took back this week. No pressure, no guilt for a quiet day.
• Something special at your 1st, 10th, 50th and 100th moment.
• Share your week as a card: your pet, your moments and their verdict. Made on your phone; you pick where it goes.
• Home-screen widgets: your pet lives on your home screen and changes with the time of day. One tap starts a break.
• Gentle nudges: up to two friendly reminders a day, at the times you usually get stuck scrolling. Quiet hours respected.
• Speaks English, Chinese (Simplified) and Malay, following your phone's language.

Private by design
No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your phone.

Nudgling is a wellness companion, not medical advice. Skip any exercise if you're injured, and stop if something hurts.

What’s new

New in 1.2: a fresh icon, and an open-eyed face when your pet peeks in. Every time you choose to look up, you get a little celebration: "Moment #N this week", with something special at your 1st, 10th, 50th and 100th. Share your week as a card starring your pet. Now speaks Chinese (Simplified) and Malay, following your phone's language. After a week of scroll watch, your pet asks one quick question: is it helping? Scroll watch copes better with clock changes. Everything stays on your phone.
