NightNudge

NightNudge is a mobile app (iOS/Android) that helps parents of toddlers and preschoolers run consistent bedtime routines without turning the phone into “one more toy.” It provides a parent-only routine builder with timed steps (bath, pajamas, books, lights out), plus an optional kid-facing “audio-only mode” that plays short, calming prompts and stories while the screen stays dark. The app tracks what actually happened (start time, steps skipped, wake-ups) and turns it into simple weekly insights: which steps correlate with faster sleep, which nights derail, and what to adjust next. It also supports shared caregiving: one routine, multiple caregivers, with handoff notes (“skipped nap,” “teething”). This is not a miracle sleep-training product; it’s a consistency tool that reduces decision fatigue and caregiver mismatch, which are the real nightly failure points for many families.
