Nudge home screen on iPhone. Mochi stands in the living room doorway and says: evening, maya. the living room has been lived-in since sunday. one tiny thing?

Then the next step, Clear the coffee table, living room, about 1 minute, then Mochi brings a gift, with Start this task and Easier buttons, More for this task, and a Visit Mochi card: the living room is lived-in, 2 gifts. — A verified first-party Nudge Today screen.

One Tiny Clean asks for a room, your energy, and 2, 5, or 10 minutes. It gives back one bounded action and tells you where to stop. It runs in this browser—no install, no account, nothing to set up first.

Get one tiny task

takes about ten seconds, and you can stop after one

one win paints a room.

the misty ones are waiting for theirs.

Mochi's Place is a small island of rooms that fills in as you finish real tasks. Each tiny win brings the next piece for a room: a rug, a sofa, a lamp. Every room also has its own page, with its painting, its tasks and Mochi offering to make the first one tiny. Show up on enough days and Mochi finds an outfit, like a striped scarf. Miss a week and none of it is taken away.

Mochi says: a blanket, a toy and a book are lying around.
put one thing back and the sofa is yours.

Mochi's Place in Nudge on iPhone: a terraced island of small arched rooms. The bedroom at the top and the living room, its fire lit and a badge showing 2, are painted in, and Mochi stands on the ladder under the living room label. The kitchen, the bathroom, a study and the rooms below are still misty, with empty plots at the bottom. The line reads: one win paints a room. the misty ones are waiting for theirs. — your island, painting in.

The living room's page in Nudge on iPhone: a painting of the room through an arched doorway, with bookshelves, an orange sofa, a lit fireplace and an armchair, and three task pins, a star on the sofa for the picked task. Mochi sits beside a speech bubble: the sofa first? i can make it tiny for you. Below is the picked task, Fluff the sofa cushions, today, with 2 min and weekly chips and a Make it tiny button, then two more tasks: Dust one shelf, about 2 minutes, and Water the plant, about 1 minute. — every room gets its own page.

when reminders and daily counters make starting harder.

many cleaning apps prioritize recurring schedules, reminders, and daily counters. those patterns may not fit someone whose main barrier is choosing and starting the first action. nudge starts smaller.

Nudge Start Rescue on iPhone, step 2 of 4, asking How stuck does it feel? No wrong answer, it only picks the size of the first step. Three choices, each with a small Mochi: I could push, I just need a nudge to stand up; I'm frozen, I'm looking at it and not moving; and It feels impossible, even standing feels like too much.

frozen? one physical step.

Start Rescue asks how stuck it feels, then reads out one concrete move sized to that. Hear it again, make it smaller, or stop after the first one. Moving counts.

Nudge task sheet on iPhone over the kitchen page: Clear one small surface, kitchen, about 2 minutes, with not now selected beside remind me and did it. It says it leaves your list, then comes back by itself, above a Not today, back tomorrow button, In an hour, back at 12:16, Put it on my later list, on the rooms tab till you want it, and Edit task.

not today? it comes back tomorrow.

Skip a task for today, snooze it for an hour, or park it on a later list on the Rooms tab. It leaves your list, then comes back by itself. Changed your mind? Undo is one tap.

Nudge Scan My Mess on iPhone: point at the mess. A drawn camera frame shows Mochi waving from a kitchen doorway and saying i'll find the first thing. no tidying first, with the hint stand at the door, get the floor in. Below are Take a photo and Choose from photos, a short privacy note, and two ways to start without a photo: House hush, just clear the surfaces, and List what you see, no photo, no scan.

point at the mess. get the first thing.

Scan My Mess looks at one photo of the room and names the first thing to touch. No tidying before you start, and no list of everything that is wrong. Leave the app halfway and the list waits for you. Rather not take a photo? List what you see instead.

Nudge guided clean-along on iPhone, step 1 of 5: entry, shoes in a line, bags on hooks, with 02:52 left on a 3-minute timer and timing and sound buttons at the top. Below, the next step, loo: wipe the sink, fresh towel, lid down, starts by itself, the line just this one thing, stop early if your brain says done, and I did it, Too hard and Stop buttons.

phone in your pocket. the voice keeps going.

A calm voice counts with you, not at you. One step, one timer, and a too-hard button that asks what is in the way, then shrinks the step instead of judging you.

Clean with Mochi on iPhone: Mochi carries a small gift across an arched room with a green sofa and says i'm here. pick one small spot to start. Below, 09:53 left of 10 minutes, ten progress pips with the first one lit, and the label tidying together, then I'm done and Stop.

company while you tidy.

Clean with Mochi keeps you company while you work: soft rain, a calm line every minute and a half, and a 10, 20 or 30-minute timer if you want one. No camera, no chat, nobody watching.

Nudge Panic Clean on iPhone: Breathe. We got this. How much time do you have, with 10, 20, 30 and 60 minute choices and 20 selected, a co-clean card that says I am here with you, one small move is enough to begin, with a Clean with me button, the line unlimited panic cleans, and a Let's go button.

guests in thirty minutes?

Say how much time you have. Panic Clean picks what makes the room feel better fastest and hands you one high-impact task at a time. Skip it if it is wrong.

Nudge Plan my day on iPhone: I'll pick the right tasks for your energy. How's your energy, from very low to high with medium selected, how much time, from 15 to 90 minutes with 30 selected, and a Build my plan button.

a plan sized to today, not to you on a good day.

Tell it your energy and the minutes you have, and Plan My Day picks tasks that fit. Low energy and fifteen minutes is a real plan.

Nudge home on a break, on iPhone: Mochi sleeps on a cushion by the fire and thinks shh. we're resting till saturday. A card reads on a break until sat 3 oct, with Wednesday 30 as today, Thursday and Friday as rest days and Saturday as back, and the line no nudges, no piles. your streak waits. Below are Come back now and, under if you feel like it, none of this ends your break, the next step Clear one small surface and When it's hard: rescue, clean with mochi, routines.

need a few days off? take them.

Pick 3 days, a week, two weeks, or until you are back. Nudge sends no nudges, nothing piles up, and your streak waits. Come back early whenever you like, to a fresh start or right where you left off.

iPhone lock screen at 9:41 with the Nudge Live Activity: a tile with Mochi, kitchen, step 1 of 1, wipe the counter, a ring showing 1:03 left, a step bar, and done and smaller buttons.

lock your phone. the timer stays.

A Live Activity keeps Mochi, the room and step, the task, a ring with the time left, and done and smaller buttons on your lock screen, so opening the app is never the step that stops you.

built around what actually helps.

no red. ever.

other apps use red to alarm you into action. we use it never. tasks can wait without pressure.

gaps are allowed.

a forgiving streak covers a missed day each week and waits while you rest. painted rooms and show-up days never go back down.

tasks wait.

tasks wait for you, not the other way around. your kitchen will still be there when you're ready.

no shame spiral.

you're not broken. some days simply need a smaller first move.

☀

one person. no VC. just a neurodivergent builder who needed this app.

I built nudge because every cleaning app made me feel worse about myself. I have ADHD. Getting started is the hardest part. I needed something that met me where I was, not where productivity culture thinks I should be.

nudge uses Claude from Anthropic to break tasks into steps that actually feel doable. it's the app I wished existed. maybe you did too.

no investors means no pressure to make you feel bad 🌻

simple, honest pricing.

Nudge is one subscription, and every plan includes all of it. You can try one tiny task before you choose a plan.

Mochi says: not ready to pick? tap “not yet” and do one tiny thing first.

you probably have questions.

who is Mochi?

Mochi is the sleepy orange cat who lives in Nudge. Every task you finish paints in a little more of Mochi's Place, a small island of rooms. Each room has its own album page, and each win adds the next piece: a rug, a sofa, a lamp. Show up on enough days and Mochi finds an outfit, like a striped scarf. Miss a day and nothing is taken away. You can rename the cat in the app.

does Nudge keep score?

Gently. On Mochi's tab, the showing-up page keeps a forgiving streak: the days in a row you finished something. It covers one missed day each week, and days on a break do not count against it. After a longer gap it quietly starts again from one. Painted rooms, show-up days and Mochi's outfits only ever add up, and there are no points, no leaderboard and nothing red.

does it use AI?

Yes. Nudge uses AI to help break tasks into tiny, manageable steps. It is designed to be genuinely helpful, not a generic task list with a chatbot bolted on.

what if I have a really bad day?

A bad day is still a day. Nudge celebrates any cleaning, even wiping one counter. There is no minimum. There is no judgment. The app will still be there tomorrow, same as ever.

is there a free version?

Not inside the app. Nudge is a subscription: onboarding shows the plans after a few questions, and "not yet" on that screen lets you try one tiny task before you choose. Monthly and Annual include a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers; Weekly does not. If you want to try the idea with nothing to install, Tiny Clean on this website gives you one bounded task for free, no account needed.

where can I get Nudge?

Nudge is on the iOS App Store for iPhone. Plans are $2.99 a week with no trial, $6.99 a month, or $49.99 a year; the Monthly and Annual plans include a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Cancel anytime in Apple ID settings.

is it really built for ADHD?

Nudge is designed from the builder's lived experience with executive dysfunction and informed by user feedback from people with different kinds of can't-start barriers. It is task-organization support, not ADHD diagnosis or treatment.

is Nudge the Harvard cleaning app from the ads?

No. The Harvard girl cleaning app in those Instagram ads is a different app, almost certainly Chillio, whose App Store listing names COREMOVE LIMITED as the developer. Nudge has no Harvard connection. Our Harvard girl cleaning app page, linked in the footer, sets out what we could and could not verify about it and how to cancel it on iPhone.

I have a big messy house. will it actually help?

It can help when the main barrier is choosing where to start or breaking rooms into smaller actions. It cannot guarantee a clean home or replace hands-on support. You choose the room, time, and energy available for the plan.

your home doesn't need to be perfect. just livable.

one tiny step, a calm voice, and a cat who brings you something every time you finish. no red badges. no daily pressure.
