Flinch — Random Nudges
Jeremy Lambert
Watchapp
Description
Your wrist doesn't nag on a schedule. Flinch uses random-interval nudges — the same psychology behind slot machines — to build habits that actually stick. No streaks. No gamification. Just a sharp little reminder when you least expect it. Variable-ratio reinforcement is the most effective conditioning schedule in behavioral psychology. Flinch puts it on your wrist. Features: • Define custom habits with personalized nudge text • Random-interval wakeups throughout the day — never predictable • Per-habit active hours, frequency range, and vibration pattern • 5 vibration patterns: Gentle, Normal, Strong, Double Tap, Triple Tap • Quick mute: long-press SELECT to silence all nudges for 30 minutes • Mute status visible per-habit with countdown • Optional acknowledgment tracking (tap SELECT = "I did the thing") • Daily acknowledgment count per habit • Dark-themed config page with clean card-based UI • Zero backend, zero cloud, zero accounts — everything on watch + phone • Survives watch reboots (uses Pebble wakeup API) Build a habit. Break a habit. Flinch doesn't care which — it just nudges.
