How it works

Three steps to a better inner voice.

01

Tell us what matters

Answer a short questionnaire about the areas of life you want to improve. Confidence, relationships, career, self-love, calm. You choose.

02

Set your rhythm

Pick your start and stop times. Choose how often you want a nudge, from every hour to every two hours. Your schedule, your pace.

03

Receive and breathe

Personalized words of encouragement land in your texts throughout the day. No app to open. No notification to swipe away. Just words that find you.

Why text messages

Push notifications get buried. Texts get read.

98%

of text messages are opened and read, compared to 20% for email and even less for push notifications.

3 min

is the average time to read an SMS after receiving it. Your encouragement reaches you when it matters.

0 apps

to download, log into, or remember. NudgeUp lives where your conversations already happen.

Sample nudges

Words that meet you where you are.

8:00 AM
Calm
"Pause. Three deep breaths. You don't have to solve everything right now."
10:15 AM
Confidence
"You've handled hard things before. This one is no different."
12:30 PM
Joy
"Think of one thing that made you smile this week. Hold onto that feeling."

Early stories

Small shifts, every single day.

★★★★★
"I used to scroll through my phone first thing in the morning and immediately feel behind. Now I get a NudgeUp text and it's the first thing I read. It changed the whole tone of my day. I didn't expect something so simple to actually stick."
Sarah M. Nurse, busy mom of two
★★★★★
"I've tried every mindfulness app out there. They all required me to do something — open the app, start a session, track a habit. NudgeUp just shows up. The message I got on Tuesday when I was totally overwhelmed at work was like it was written for exactly that moment."
Jordan T. Project manager, Chicago
★★★★★
"I was skeptical that a text message could actually help. After a week, I noticed I was catching my inner critic more quickly. After a month, it felt like my default inner voice had actually softened. Seven dollars is nothing compared to what that's worth."
Renee K. Freelance designer, Austin

Questions answered

Everything you're wondering.

When you sign up, you answer a short questionnaire about the life areas that matter most to you — things like confidence, relationships, calm, career, or self-worth. You choose your daily schedule and how often you want a message. Then NudgeUp sends personalized words of encouragement straight to your phone via text, no app required. Messages are drawn from a curated library matched to your focus areas and delivered throughout your day.
Completely. Your phone number is only ever used to send your NudgeUp messages. It is never sold, shared, or used for any other purpose. We store it with encryption and follow strict data handling practices. You will never receive third-party marketing from us. To stop receiving messages at any time, simply reply STOP — and you'll never hear from us again.
Yes, no questions asked. You can cancel your subscription anytime through the Stripe customer portal — a link is in your welcome email — or by emailing us directly. You can also reply STOP to any message to immediately pause all texts. There are no cancellation fees, no hoops to jump through, and no guilt. We'd rather you leave on good terms than stay and resent it.
Three things. First, SMS has a 98% open rate — app push notifications average under 10%. Second, NudgeUp requires zero effort from you: no app to open, no habit to build, no streak to protect. Third, the messages are personalized to your chosen life areas, so they land differently than generic inspiration. You don't have to remember to do anything. The encouragement just finds you.
After your 7-day free trial, NudgeUp is $7.99/month — less than a cup of coffee a week. You can also save 18% with annual billing at $79/year ($6.58/month). We'll remind you before your trial ends. No surprise charges. If you don't want to continue, just cancel before the trial period closes. No credit card is required to start the free trial.

The kindest voice in your phone should be yours.

NudgeUp helps you rewrite the story you tell yourself, one text at a time. No app fatigue. No habit to build. Just gentle words of empowerment reminding you that you're doing better than you think.

Meet the Founder

I built NudgeUp because I needed it first.

I'm Patricia Lamford. A few years ago I realized the loudest voice in my head wasn't a kind one. I tried apps, journals, routines — but nothing stuck because nothing met me where I already was: my phone, my texts, my real life.

So I created NudgeUp — a simple way to receive words of encouragement and empowerment throughout your day. No downloads, no streaks to maintain, no guilt. Just warm, personal messages that remind you of what you're capable of.

Every nudge is written with one belief at its core: you already have everything you need inside you. Sometimes you just need someone to say it out loud.
