Nudge

A floating HUD for your day.

Why I built it

Calendar apps live in tabs I never open. I wanted something that just sits there and tells me what I should be doing right now — and what's coming next.

What it does

  • 01Floating always-on-top widget with schedule and countdown to next block
  • 02Todo mode with priorities, descriptions, and quick-add
  • 03Personalised greetings and tone throughout the day
  • 04Optional 20-20-20 eye-break reminders
  • 05Gentle hydration nudges anchored to wall-clock times
  • 06Sparkle auto-updates — never re-download

What I learned

Menu-bar apps are a different beast from windowed apps — always-on-top windows, click-through regions, and wall-clock scheduling on a sleeping laptop. First app I shipped with Sparkle auto-updates.
