How the nudges decide when to remind you (and when to stay quiet)

Most apps notify you to remind you the app exists. We would rather you forget it exists until a nudge is worth your attention. These are the rules.

When a nudge fires

• You planned something for today. "Today: Blue Tokai — you planned this for today. Still on?" That morning, at the time you prefer (morning people get the 9 am run, evening people the 8 pm one).
• You asked to be reminded. A voice note that said "six months", a bill with a due date, a reminder you set on an item.
• You are near something you saved. Within walking distance, while you are out, not while you are at home.
• It is the weekend and three of your saves fit. Friday evening, once.
• A price dropped on something you saved, with the old and new price.
• Something you saved months ago is still waiting. "Saved 3 months ago. Still want to try it?"

When it stays quiet

• Never more than one a day.
• Never for something you have marked Tried or dismissed.
• Never a digest, never "you have 24 unread saves".
• Never at night.

Where the control is

Me → Nudge me turns them on, and morning or evening picks the run. Turn on location and the nearby nudge lights up; leave it off and everything else still works.

A reminder is a favour only if it arrives at the moment you can use it. That is the bar.
