Copyright & trade marks

Last updated: August 2026

Every word in Nudge was written from scratch — the nudges, the affirmations, the Brain School cards, the jokes you didn't ask for. This page says plainly what's ours, what's yours, and what you're welcome to do with it.

1. The short version

© 2026 Half-Baked Co.. All rights reserved. Nudge and everything in it is protected by copyright from the moment it was written — no registration required, in Canada and in every other Berne Convention country.

2. What we own

  • All app copy, headings, microcopy, error messages and onboarding text
  • The prompt library, affirmation writing rules, and every pre-written nudge
  • Brain School articles, the brain quiz, Resources guides and the Reset Room scripts
  • The brain mascot illustrations and every other image, icon and share-card design
  • The source code, database design, AI system prompts and feature architecture
  • The Nudge name, logo, colour system, typography and overall look and feel

3. What you own

Everything you write inside Nudge — brain dumps, tasks, custom prompts, goals, notes, item homes — is yours and stays yours. We only hold a limited licence to store and display it back to you so the app works. We don't train models on it and we don't sell it. See the Privacy Policy.

AI-generated output produced from your input is yours to use as well, with the usual caveat that AI can be confidently wrong.

4. What you're welcome to do

  • Share the share cards. That's what they're for — the credit is baked in.
  • Quote a nudge or a Brain School line with credit to Nudge and a link to usenudge.fun.
  • Print the Resources checklist and take it to your appointment.
  • Screenshot the app for reviews, teaching, journalism or commentary.

5. What you can't do

  • Copy the prompt library, Brain School content or app copy into another product — free or paid
  • Scrape the app, or use it to build a training set or a competing service
  • Republish our writing as your own, with or without light rewording
  • Use the Nudge name, mascot or branding in a way that suggests we made or endorsed your thing
  • Resell, sublicense or white-label Nudge without written permission

6. Trade marks

Nudge, Nudges, not nags, Brain School, The Reset Room, Where Things Live, Half-Baked Co. and the brain mascot are trade marks of Half-Baked Co., used in commerce and claimed as unregistered (common-law) marks. Registration status may change; this page will be updated if it does.

7. Reporting infringement

If you've spotted our writing somewhere it shouldn't be — or you think Nudge has used something of yours — email hello@usenudge.fun with the URL, what specifically was copied, and proof you own it. We investigate every notice and remove anything that shouldn't be there.

8. Permission requests

Want to use Nudge content in a course, clinic, workplace programme or article? Ask. We say yes far more often than you'd think — email hello@usenudge.fun and tell us what you have in mind.

9. Third-party credit

Nudge is built on open-source software used under its own licences, and links to independent organisations we're not affiliated with. Their names and marks belong to them.
