SuperNudge · free beta · macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon & Intel
Two minutes from now, your screen is on your side.
The focus companion that notices you drifted and offers a hand back — never an alarm, never a block, never shame. Free while in beta.
Read me first —
This beta is unsigned. Apple charges $99/year to make the "unidentified developer" warning go away, and I'd rather ship to you first and pay that tax once we've earned it together. The install takes two extra clicks — the steps below walk you through them. One person built this; the code never phones home.
The install, ADHD-proofed —
Three steps. No step four.
-
Open the download, drag to Applications
Open
SuperNudge.dmgand drag the app into the Applications folder. Close the window. That part's done forever. -
Tell macOS you meant to do this
Open the app once — macOS will decline politely. Then: System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll down → "Open Anyway." Confirm. (On macOS 13–14, right-click the app → Open → Open also works.)
-
Grant Screen Recording when asked
Screen awareness is how it catches drift. What happens to those pixels is documented below — short version: downscaled, classified, never stored.
macOS says the app "is damaged"? — the 10-second fix
xattr -cr /Applications/Supernudge.app
Paste that into Terminal and press return. It removes the quarantine flag macOS adds to downloads — nothing else.
What happens to your data —
Private by architecture, not by promise.
- Screen captures
- Downscaled and sent only to the AI provider you configure, only during a focus session. No screenshot or recording history is ever kept.
- Analytics & tasks
- Stored locally on your Mac, in your user folder. Nothing syncs anywhere unless you connect it.
- AI provider
- Bring your own key — Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible, Gemini, or Mimo. Your key lives in the macOS Keychain.
- Optional. Connects over OAuth; passwords are never seen or stored.
- This developer
- Receives nothing. The app has no telemetry in the beta. If that changes it will be opt-in and announced.
