Care Moments
When the kindest nudge is no nudge at all
How Jambu decides when a Care Moment should arrive — and why, on a good morning, the right answer is to stay out of your way.

Most reminder apps measure themselves by how often they speak. A timer goes off every twenty minutes whether you are mid-sentence or already standing at the kettle. After a week, you stop hearing it.
We built Jambu the other way round. A Care Moment is only worth sending if it lands at a moment when you could actually take it. Everything else is noise.
The quiet morning
Picture a good start: you open your laptop just after nine, settle into one piece of work, and keep going in steady, natural bursts with short pauses in between. Jambu sees the shape of that — sessions, idle gaps, timing — and does nothing.
No nudge is sometimes the right Care Moment. Jambu stays quiet when your rhythm is already working.
When it does speak
A Care Moment is one short line and two choices: take it, or snooze it. It doesn't take over your screen, block a tab or tell you off about the time. It tends to arrive in situations like these:
- After a long, unbroken stretch, offered at the next natural pause rather than mid-task.
- When you come back from a long idle gap, as a gentle way back in.
- At the end of a long day, as a soft suggestion that it might be time to stop.
You set the volume
Some days you want company; some days you want silence. Choose a preference level — Gentle, Essentials or Silence — set quiet hours, snooze for 5, 10 or 20 minutes, or pause Jambu altogether. Nothing escalates if you ignore a nudge. There are no streaks to protect and no score to explain.
That is the whole idea: care that knows when to step back.
