Native macOS menu-bar app
Never miss the start of a meeting again.
Nudge watches your Google Calendar and slides an opaque reminder onto your screen — with a chime — a few minutes before each meeting begins.
Why Nudge
Impossible to miss
An opaque, always-on-top window appears over whatever you're doing — even full-screen apps.
A nudge that lands
The orange Nudge Dot and a clear chime fire together so you look up in time, every time.
Your real calendar
Reads your Google Calendar securely, read-only, and shows your next meeting in the menu bar.
Stays on your Mac
No servers. No tracking. Your calendar data never leaves your device.
Snooze & mute
Snooze a reminder, or mute the whole busy stretch from the menu in one click.
Lightweight
Lives quietly in your menu bar with no Dock clutter and a tiny footprint.
Your calendar data never leaves your Mac.
Nudge connects directly to Google from your device using read-only access. There is no Nudge server, no analytics, and nothing is ever sold or shared. Sign-in tokens are stored in the macOS Keychain.
