About Nudge

You're cooking dinner, hands covered in sauce, and the playlist hits a track that's way too loud or needs to be skipped. Reach for your phone. Connecting... Looking for devices... By the time it responds, you've already crossed the kitchen to hit the speaker manually.

That's the moment Nudge was built to fix.

Ron Trackey launched Nudge in March 2026 after getting fed up with the latency. Not because the existing apps are bad — they're fine on a phone. But a watch is always on your wrist. It should be instant. Raise. Tap. Done.

So he built it that way. One developer, one obsession: make Sonos control on Apple Watch feel like it was always supposed to work like this.

Nudge is a product of Bolton LLC.

Why Nudge?

Most apps try to do too much. Nudge focuses on doing one thing perfectly: Instant control for Sonos

Native Performance: Built specifically for the ecosystem to ensure speed and reliability.
Instant Control: Raise your wrist to see what's playing. Simply tap to pause or skip.
Precision Volume: Use the Digital Crown for smooth, responsive volume control.
Direct Connection: Talks directly to your Sonos system via WiFi for low-latency command.
Quick Access: Browse your Sonos Favorites, Pandora and Spotify Stations, and recently played items with a tap.
Voice Search: Search and queue tracks directly from watch.
Privacy First: Your data stays yours. We use anonymized analytics to improve the app but never sell your data or track your listening habits.
User-Centric Design: Every pixel is considered to make your interaction as seamless as possible.
