Stay motivated
See exactly how much progress remains instead of staring at a number with no clear plan.
Why Nudge?
Stop guessing. Know exactly what it will take to finish your day.
Seeing that you have completed 7,100 steps is useful. But it does not answer the questions that matter when you are trying to reach your goal.
How many steps do I actually have left?
How much walking time will that take?
Am I ahead, behind, or on pace?
Should I walk now or can it wait?
Nudge answers those questions at a glance. It turns your Apple Health step count into guidance you can use throughout the day.

Apple Workouts
Records walks, runs, hikes, and workouts, including duration, heart rate, pace, routes, and exercise data.

Shows what remains between you and your daily step goal, then helps you decide what to do next.

The number that matters most: steps left today
Nudge is built around fast, useful information on your wrist. Open the app and immediately see your remaining steps, estimated walking time, and daily pace.
Steps Left Today
Whether you have 800 steps or 8,000 steps remaining, Nudge helps translate that number into something practical.
A plan you can act on
Turn remaining steps into a practical walk
Nudge estimates how much walking time remains based on your current progress and walking pace.

The Nudge philosophy
Consistency matters more than intensity
A lasting fitness habit does not require every day to include a perfect workout. Small amounts of movement, repeated consistently, can make a meaningful difference.
Nudge is designed to make the next small action obvious. It does not ask you to train harder. It helps you keep moving.
