Reminders that actually reach you.
Create a channel, add what you don't want to forget, and choose exactly how it reaches you — on a timer, at a set time, the moment you arrive somewhere, or as a real full-screen alarm.
Built to actually reach you
Four ways to make sure a reminder isn't just sent — it's seen.
Custom Channels
Create unlimited channels for anything you don't want to forget — habits, meds, quotes, study prompts. Your own color, emoji, and schedule for each.
Smart Scheduling
Set intervals from minutes to months, restrict delivery to active hours, and choose sequential, random, or weighted content order.
Alarm Mode
Ring like a real phone alarm — full-screen, wakes a locked screen, and plays through the dedicated alarm volume even in silent mode.
Location Trigger
Search any address or place by name, and get nudged the instant you arrive — no need to remember to check a timer.
Checklists that actually remind you
Not just a list — the same reminder engine behind everything else in NudgeBuzz.
Due-Date Reminders
Give any item its own deadline and get a real reminder for it — plus Alarm Mode, Location Trigger, and custom schedules for the whole list.
Subtasks
Break a task into smaller steps nested right underneath it, each with its own checkbox.
Streaks
Complete something on a list two days running and a streak counter kicks in — a small nudge to keep it going.
Natural-Language Quick-Add
Type "call mom tomorrow at 5pm" and NudgeBuzz sets the due date for you — no separate date picker required.
Content that writes itself
Don't have time to write ten reminders by hand? Ask for them instead.
AI-Powered Content
Tell it what you want — "facts about biology," "motivational quotes for runners" — and how many. Generated on demand with your own API key.
Multi-Language
Generate content natively in 12 languages, including English, Spanish, Hindi, and Nepali — not machine-translated afterthoughts.
Templates
Skip the blank page. Pick a ready-made channel for motivation, mindfulness, health, learning, or productivity.
Rich Media
Text, quotes, links with previews, images, video, and audio — all included, no upgrade required.
More than notifications
A couple of tools that don't fit "reminder app" — but fit NudgeBuzz.
Timer & Stopwatch
A countdown timer that rings full-screen even if you've closed the app, and a stopwatch with fastest/slowest lap highlighting.
Sports Mode
HIIT, Tabata, Circuit, and AMRAP presets, or build your own — custom work/rest rounds, pause/resume, and audio cues for each phase.
Groups & Nudges
Invite people by email and broadcast messages straight to their devices, with a full history of everything sent.
Private by default, not by promise
Every feature above works fully offline. No account, no server, and no third party ever sees your channels or content.

Set up your first channel in under a minute
Four steps, in order — from a blank app to your first reminder.
Create a channel
Name it, pick a color and emoji, and set a schedule — every hour, every day, or any custom interval.
Add your content
Write it yourself, pick a template, or hand the topic to AI and let it generate the rest.
Choose your trigger
On a timer, at a specific time, the moment you arrive somewhere, or as a full-screen alarm.
Get nudged
Tap a notification to see the full content — or let Alarm Mode take over the screen.
Questions people actually ask
Is NudgeBuzz really free?
Yes — every feature is available to everyone, with no subscriptions or locked tiers. Banner and native ads keep it free to run.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. Channels, scheduling, alarms, Timer & Stopwatch, and Location Trigger all run entirely on your device. Only AI content generation and Groups & Nudges need a connection.
Do I need to create an account?
No. NudgeBuzz works fully anonymously with local storage. An account is only needed for Groups & Nudges.
Can I make to-do lists, not just reminders?
Yes — To-Do Lists are checklists with due-date reminders per item, subtasks, streaks, and natural-language quick-add ("tomorrow at 5pm"), plus the same Alarm Mode, Location Trigger, and AI generation as every other channel.
How does Location Trigger use my location?
It's evaluated entirely on-device to detect arrival at a place you've chosen. Your location is never sent to a server — see the Privacy Policy for details.
What languages does AI content support?
12 languages, including English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Nepali, Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese — generated natively, not translated afterward.
Can I get my data out if I stop using the app?
Yes, anytime — Settings → Export Data saves everything as a real file you can restore later or move to another device.
