Nudge
Link your phone with one special person. One tap, and their phone buzzes.
How it works
One of you shows a 6-digit code (or QR), the other enters or scans it, and you both confirm. From then on, a big round button sends a nudge: two soft buzzes for "Thinking of you", one long buzz for "Call me", or three fast buzzes, twice, for "Urgent". You see when it was delivered.
Gets through silent mode
If the receiver allows it (always, or only for Urgent), a nudge vibrates even when their phone is on silent.
The receiver is in charge
Quiet hours, a silent-mode setting, rate limits on the server, and an Unlink button that works on both phones straight away.
No email, no number
Just a first name. See the privacy policy for exactly what is kept and how to delete it.
Getting it
Nudge is coming to Google Play for Android. It is free, with ads on the History and Settings screens.
Help
Nudges arriving late? Your phone's battery saver is the usual cause: Nudge shows phone-specific steps under Settings → Phone setup. For anything else, write to partybook.support@gmail.com.
