Getting Started
Nudge is a social accountability app that helps you build habits and achieve goals with friends. Create or join challenges, log your daily progress, and hold each other accountable with real consequences for missed commitments.
Tap the + button on the Challenges tab to create a new challenge. You'll set a name, duration, daily rules to follow, and consequences for violations. Once created, share the invite code with friends to have them join.
Get an invite code from a friend who has already created a challenge. Go to the Challenges tab, tap "Join Challenge," and enter the code. You'll see the challenge details before confirming.
Once the challenge starts, you'll need to log your progress daily. Open the app, go to the Daily Log screen, and mark which rules you completed. Submit before midnight to avoid violations.
Daily Logging
You should log your progress before midnight each day. The app will send you reminders throughout the day. A countdown timer shows how much time you have left.
If you don't submit a log before midnight, violations will be automatically created for any rules you were supposed to complete that day. Make sure to enable notifications so you don't forget!
Once submitted, logs cannot be edited. Make sure to double-check before submitting. If you made a mistake, reach out to your challenge admin.
Some rules require photo proof of completion. You'll need to upload a photo showing you completed the task. This adds an extra layer of accountability.
Flexible rules let you complete a task a certain number of times per week (e.g., "Workout 3 days this week") instead of on specific days. You choose when to complete them, but must hit your weekly target.
Violations & Punishments
A violation is created when you fail to complete a required rule or miss logging entirely. Each violation may come with consequences (fines or custom punishments) as defined by the challenge.
You'll receive a notification and the violation will appear in your Violations tab. You'll see what punishments are required and how to settle them.
Tap on the violation to see payment options. If the challenge has Venmo set up, you'll be able to pay directly. After paying, mark it as paid and wait for admin approval.
Challenge admins can set custom punishments like "Do 50 pushups" or "Buy the group coffee." You complete the punishment, optionally upload proof, and mark it as done for admin approval.
The challenge admin reviews all settlements. They may reject if proof is insufficient or payment wasn't received. Check the rejection reason and try again with better proof.
Social Features
If you've logged for the day, you can "nudge" other participants who haven't yet. They'll receive a notification reminding them to log. You can only nudge each person once per day.
You can react to other people's daily logs with 🔥 (fire) or 💪 (strong) to show encouragement. Tap the reaction buttons on any log in the feed.
Your streak counts consecutive days you've submitted logs. The longer your streak, the better! You'll receive notifications at milestone achievements (7 days, 30 days, etc.).
Tap on any user's profile and use the "Add Friend" button. Friends can see your activity even if your profile is set to private.
Account & Privacy
Go to your Profile tab and tap "Edit Profile." You can update your username and upload a new avatar photo.
When enabled, other users can find you and see your basic stats. When disabled, only your friends can see your profile information.
Go to Settings → Security → Delete Account. This action is permanent and will delete all your data including logs, violations, and challenge history.

Troubleshooting
Check that notifications are enabled in your phone's Settings app for Nudge. Also verify your notification preferences in Settings → Notifications within the app.
Ensure you've granted camera and photo library permissions. Try using a smaller photo or check your internet connection. If issues persist, try restarting the app.
Try closing and reopening the app. If that doesn't help, check for app updates in the App Store. Clearing the app cache by reinstalling can also help.
Check the Challenges tab for active challenges. If the challenge has ended, it will be in your "Completed" section on your profile. Make sure you're logged into the correct account.
