About Nudge
The cleaning app that nudges, never nags.
What Nudge Does
Nudge is an AI-powered cleaning coach for iOS. You tell it your energy level (1–5) and how much time you have. It gives you a cleaning plan that actually fits how you feel right now — not how you felt when you set up a schedule last month.
For people with ADHD, executive dysfunction, or anyone who gets overwhelmed by cleaning, Nudge removes two of the hardest parts: deciding what to do and breaking it into steps small enough to actually start.
Who Built It
Nudge is built by an indie developer who understands firsthand what it's like to have executive dysfunction and stand in the doorway of a messy room not knowing where to begin. No VC funding, no team of fifty. Just a tool built because nothing else existed that combined genuine AI capability with genuine empathy for how ADHD brains work.
Why It Exists
Every cleaning app on the market was built for neurotypical consistency. Sweepy sends "overdue" notifications. Tody has a color-coded point system. Generic to-do apps expect you to maintain a rigid routine.
Nudge was built on a different assumption: your capacity varies. Some days you have an hour. Some days you have five minutes and low energy. The app should adapt to you — not the other way around. Your home doesn't need to be perfect, just livable.
How the AI Works
Nudge uses Claude (Anthropic's AI model) for two things:
- Daily plan generation — based on your stated energy level and time, the AI selects and sequences cleaning tasks appropriate to your capacity.
- Room scanning — point your camera at any room. The AI analyzes the image and produces a prioritized task list based on what it sees, ordered by visual impact and effort required.
- Task decomposition — say "clean the kitchen" and the AI breaks it into 5 concrete micro-steps you can actually check off.
No user data is used to train AI models. Camera images are processed in real time and not stored.
