Your most distracting apps stay locked until you go outside.
Nature Nudge blocks the apps that eat your day, and the only way to unlock them is to get outside. Hit your daily goal in daylight minutes, steps, or distance, and your apps come back automatically.
Less scrolling. More sunlight. A habit that actually sticks.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick the apps that steal your time: social media, games, video, anything
2. Set a daily goal: time in daylight, steps, or distance
3. Choose the days and hours you want blocking active
4. Go outside
5. Hit your goal and your apps unlock
WHY IT WORKS
Most screen time limits can be dismissed with one tap. Nature Nudge swaps willpower for something real: getting outside. Instead of fighting the urge to scroll, you're rewarded for moving, walking, and soaking up daylight.
BUILT SO YOU CAN'T CHEAT YOURSELF
- Making your goal harder takes effect immediately
- Making it easier waits until tomorrow, so you can't lower the bar in a weak moment
STAY MOTIVATED
- Build a daily streak every time you hit your goal
- Life happens: use one grace day per week without breaking your streak
- Emergency Unlock is there when you truly need it, but your streak resets
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. With your permission, Nature Nudge reads Time in Daylight, steps, and distance from Apple Health and uses Screen Time to manage app restrictions. Your data is never sent anywhere, not even to us.
REQUIREMENTS
- iPhone running iOS 26 or later
- Time in Daylight goals require Apple Watch Series 6 or later
- Steps and Distance goals work on iPhone alone, no Apple Watch needed

As a student who spends so much time studying that I forget to get up and move around. This app is very helpful for me to stay active and reach my activity goal. I like that I can set my own step goal based on what works for me. It gives me a reason to walk around rather than take breaks scrolling on my phone while studying!!
Thanks for getting me off my phone!

Nature Nudge really helps me stop doomscrolling and go outside instead. It was easy to set up and now when I try to open Instagram or TikTok before reaching my goal the apps stay locked and I get a reminder to get some vitamin D. Highly recommend this app!
Thanks for using Nature Nudge. This update includes minor improvements to make Nature Nudge better for you. Enjoy!
