Nudge a friend

A Nudge is a gentle accountability check-in — a quick, friendly reminder from someone you trust. It's a low-stakes tap: no message to write, just a nudge that lets a friend know you're thinking of them.

You can only nudge friends

Nudges go to people you're already friends with — see Add friends.

  1. Open the friend's profile page, or open your private chat with them — their actions sit beside their name.

  2. Choose Nudge (the bell).

  3. Latte confirms with Nudge sent. Your friend gets the check-in as a push notification on their phone.

On the Latte desktop app

The desktop app behaves the same way.

What your friend sees​

The nudge arrives as a push notification on their phone — "👋 (your name) is checking in on you.", under A nudge from a friend. Tapping it opens their Today tab.

Nudges are shown on mobile only: a friend who uses Latte only on the web or desktop app won't see one. Anyone can mute them under Peer nudges in Notification preferences.

tip

A nudge is a nudge, not a nag — there's no confirmation step because it's meant to be light. Use it to check in on a study buddy before a deadline.
