One place for everything.

Notes, calendar, goals, projects, journal — voice-accessible, all in one app. Built for blind users. Useful for anyone tired of switching between six apps to remember one thing.

Why we built this

If you're blind, your life is scattered across Notes, Calendar, Pages, Reminders, Messages, and half a dozen other apps. Every planner is built for sighted users and retrofitted for VoiceOver. Most of them "work" — technically — but they treat accessibility as a compliance checkbox, not a design constraint.

Nudge is the opposite. The voice assistant, the spatial audio, the haptics, the layout — every decision starts from "how does a blind person actually use this?" and works outward.

What's in it

• One place

  Notes, events, goals, projects, journal — unified, searchable, syncable. No more "which app did I put that in?"

• Voice-first capture

  Speak and it's in. Dictation works out of the box. Optional AI assistant (bring your own API key) handles the "add this to tomorrow's school block" kind of thing.

• Blind-first architecture

  Spatial audio maps time to a clock-face you can hear. CoreHaptics give you a tactile grid to feel the day. Color is never used to convey information — haptic patterns carry domain identity instead.

Brooke's story

My wife Brooke is blind, and she homeschools our oldest. Before Nudge, her lesson plans lived in Notes, appointments in Calendar, recipes in Pages, long-form in Messages-to-self, and everything else in scattered voice memos. She'd tried every "accessible" planner app and bounced off all of them.

(Brooke's audio will be embedded here once recorded.)

Founder note

I'm Adam. I'm the sighted half of this household. I have ADHD-pattern — I've read every productivity book on the shelf (literally), tried every app, stuck with none. When I watched Brooke fight her tools, I realized two things.

One: there's no all-in-one planner built for her. Two: the same design choices that make an app work for her — voice-first capture, linear flow, one place for everything — are the same choices that would finally make a planner work for me. So I built one app that serves both of us, and we're opening it to a small founding cohort now.

Who it's for

Blind users whose life lives in seven apps. Stay-at-home parents, students, working professionals — it doesn't matter. The pain is the scatter, and the fix is one voice-accessible place for all of it.

Anyone who's tried six planners and stuck with none. ADHD, executive-function fatigue, productivity-app burnout — Nudge's voice-first capture eliminates the setup energy wall that kills adherence.

Privacy and accessibility

Your data stays yours. No account, no tracking, no analytics. Notes and events sync privately through your own iCloud. The AI voice assistant is optional and, during the beta, uses your own API key — your transcripts never pass through our servers because we don't have any.

Accessibility is a design constraint, not a feature. We build with VoiceOver on and iterate from there.
