It lives up here, all day

It already lives where you look.

Nudgebar sits quietly in your menu bar with your next meeting always one glance away. No dock icon, no window to manage.

Scroll
The loud state

Then, right on time, impossible to miss.

Five minutes before your meeting, Nudgebar fills the screen with everything you need — and a one-click Join. Snooze it, dismiss it, or walk in on time.

One-click Join for video calls
Snooze 1, 5, or 10 minutes
The loud state · together

Several at once? One calm block.

When meetings collide, Nudgebar merges them into a single window instead of stacking pop-ups — with a Join for each and one button to clear them all.

The glance

Your whole day, one click away.

Click the menu bar and Nudgebar shows the next one or two meetings as cards you can act on, with everything else on a quiet timeline. Quiet hours fold away so you only see what's real.

Tuned to you

Set it once. Forget it's there.

Pick how early you want the heads-up, which sound plays, how long the alert lingers, and the snooze presets you actually use. Then never open Settings again.
