I just wanted a volume knob
Hands full, music too loud. Raise your wrist, turn it down. Nudge is a Sonos controller for iPhone and Apple Watch, out today on the App Store.
Nudge is out today. Apple Watch and iPhone.
So yesterday I was making dinner. Hands covered in sauce. Music got loud. I raised my wrist. Volume went down. That's it.
That's Nudge.
I built it because I got tired of waiting. The Sonos app does a lot. Setup, EQ, alarms, all of it. For changing the volume, I just wanted a volume knob.
Now we don't wait. Both apps are out today. Watch and phone. Whichever's closer.
Tap. Play. Done.
On my wrist
The Digital Crown is my volume knob. Every tick buzzes on my wrist. I don't have to look.
One tap plays, pauses, skips. My Sonos Favorites are right there. Playlists. Stations.
I search by voice. Switch rooms. Group and ungroup speakers.
I hand control to a friend with a simple invitation, sent straight to their phone. They tap accept. They DJ. They leave. Or they ask, and I approve with a tap. They get the whole app, not a stripped-down guest mode.
On my phone
Nudge just fits. Album art fills the screen. The background tints to match. Swipe down for every room, my Favorites, every speaker. A mini-player follows me between tabs.
The Lock Screen has the controls. Dynamic Island too. My iPhone's volume buttons are Sonos volume now.
Like it was always there.
