Four moves. No onboarding wizard, no setup quiz, no "let's get to know you." You know yourself fine.
Plain text. A verb and a thing. Skip the categories.
How often, which days, how many times. Nag does the math.
Scheduled habits trigger a notification at their time. Multiple habits in the same slot? One consolidated nag. Already checked in or skipped? Silence.
Dots show what you actually did. Not what you meant to.
Don't open the habit. Don't tap through. Press and hold any tile to log a check-in right there on the home board. Haptic tick, dot flips, you're done. Two seconds, total.
Every habit on the home board is a tile. The structure is always the same — icon, cadence, name, last check-in, week strip — but what's in each slot changes with the habit. Five examples:
A daily habit with no schedule. Cadence label is just the word; you check in when you do it.
3× a day, two done. The dot row top-right is today's progress; the week strip is the long view.
A clock + time means a notification fires at that moment. The orange cadence label is the tell.
Filled = done. Slash = missed. Tiny dot = off-day. Orange ring = today. No streaks; just the record.
3× this month. Dots top-right track the goal; the long strip below shows every day's check-ins at a glance.
Pick a rhythm, then optionally attach a time of day. Only time-attached habits get a notification — everything else just sits on the home board waiting for you to check in.
9:00 AM. 8:30 PM. Whenever. This is the one that nags — a notification at the time, a follow-up if you don't check in, and a badge on the app icon until it's logged or skipped.
For the non-negotiables. Add a time to make it scheduled, or leave it open and just check in when you do it.
Drink water 3×. Stretch every 4 hours. Each slot has its own check-in; today's tile shows a dot per slot, top-right.
Flexible — pick any day, just hit the count.
Lock it to certain days. Other days are off — not misses.
Bills, backups, calling people you love. No specific day or time — the tile shows a long strip with every check-in this month, and dots top-right track your goal count.
A scheduled slot the time passed without a check-in. Nag counts it against your compliance and the day shows the quiet slash.
Tap skip and (optionally) jot a reason. Notifications for that slot stop. Skips are tracked separately from misses — your compliance doesn't punish a planned rest day.
Notifications fire only for habits scheduled at a specific time of day. A "daily" habit with no time attached is yours to check in on whenever — nag won't interrupt you. Add a time to turn it into a scheduled habit and the reminders kick in.
You get one notification, not five. Nag consolidates anything scheduled for the same time slot into a single nudge, listing the habits in it. Tap to triage; check in or skip each one inline.
A miss is a scheduled slot that went past without a check-in — you forgot, or didn't get to it. A skip is deliberate: you tapped skip, optionally jotted a reason ("travelling", "rest day"). Skips silence the rest of that slot's notifications and are tracked separately from misses, so your compliance reflects what you actually intended.
Yes — on your home-screen app icon. The number is how many scheduled slots are currently due and unaddressed. Check in or skip them (long-press the tile, or open the app) and the badge clears. Notifications themselves don't carry the badge — that's a home-screen-only indicator.
There isn't one. Streaks reward perfect runs and quietly punish the rest, which makes you quit the day after you slip. Nag tracks compliance over weeks and months instead — the real signal that a habit is sticking.
No. Nag stores everything locally on your device. There's an optional iCloud backup. That's it. No login screen exists.
Yes — via iCloud, out of the box. Sign in on your iPad and your habits are there.
Not currently, and no immediate plans. Nag is a one-person project; iOS is what I can do well right now.
Nothing. Maybe a one-time "pay me if you want" tip in a later release. No subscriptions ever.
Not currently — but the data format is documented and you can export everything as JSON or CSV any time.
