About this app

Most alarms don't care what you're doing when they go off. Nudge does.

That groggy, ripped-out-of-deep-sleep feeling isn't just unpleasant — it affects your mood, focus, and reaction time for hours. Nudge monitors your sleep on the wrist and waits for a light sleep window to wake you gently, so you start the day as a person rather than a zombie.

No account required. Optional supporter subscription. Ads are limited to the mobile free tier. Your sleep data stays on your devices.


On Your Wear OS Watch
Everything you need to wake up runs on the watch itself — the phone is only for setup:
• Alarm list — view, add, edit and delete alarms right on your wrist
• Dismiss challenges — swipe, hold, math, echo or rapid-tap to actually get up
• Power Nap tile — start a nap timer in one tap
• Tile & complication — see your next alarm at a glance
• Skip or reschedule the next occurrence directly from the watch
• Watch settings — snooze rules, gradual wake-up, smart-alarm window, dismiss method
• On-wrist sleep tracking — review the full sleep timeline on your phone


Smart Alarm — Wake Up at the Right Moment
Nudge analyzes accelerometer and heart rate data on your watch and triggers the alarm during light sleep — up to 30 minutes before your set time. If you're already sleeping lightly, it wakes you early. If you're deep asleep until the last moment, it still wakes you on time.

Dismiss Challenges — Actually Get Out of Bed
Five challenges to choose from, designed to defeat the half-asleep button tap:
• Standard swipe
• Hold — press and hold until the alarm releases
• Math — solve a quick equation (adjustable difficulty)
• Echo — repeat a pattern shown on screen (think: memory game)
• Rapid Tap — tap repeatedly until you've hit the count

Pick the one that matches how stubborn your morning self is.

Gradual Wake-Up
Vibration and volume ramp up slowly instead of hitting you all at once. Waking up is a process, not an event.

Power Nap
Set a quick nap timer — 10, 20, or any duration you choose — directly from a watch tile. No fuss, no alarm setup.

Sleep Tracking
Nudge tracks your sleep phases throughout the night. Review your sleep timeline on your phone the next morning.

Choose Where It Rings — Per Alarm
Decide for each alarm where it should ring:
• Watch only
• Phone only
• Watch, with phone as backup (phone rings 3 minutes later if the watch doesn't confirm)

Your phone stays your companion for setup. Your watch is where the alarm actually happens.

Snooze on Your Terms
Configure snooze duration and the maximum number of snoozes per alarm. Or disable snooze entirely and pair it with a tough dismiss challenge.

Watch Face & Tiles
See your next alarm on your watch face or tile. Start a power nap in one tap.

No Account Required
No sign-up, no login. Your alarms and sleep data stay on your watch and phone and are never uploaded to our servers. The optional supporter subscription is handled by Google Play, and the free mobile tier shows ads via Google AdMob.

Compatible with Wear OS 3+ watches (Galaxy Watch 4 and later, Pixel Watch). Requires Android companion app for full configuration.
