Nudges are Lace’s way of being proactive. Instead of waiting for you to ask, Lace watches how you move between screens and surfaces insight cards when it spots something useful.Documentation Index

How nudges work
Lace spots a pattern
When Lace notices something — like going back and forth between the same screens, spending a long time on one page, or a workflow that looks stuck — it generates a nudge.
The pill shows the nudge
The floating pill expands briefly to display a compact card with a headline and confidence indicator.
The pill
The pill is a small, always-on-top companion window that stays visible while you work. When you minimize Lace (or press ⌘L), the pill appears at the edge of your screen — draggable and unobtrusive.| State | What happens |
|---|---|
| Idle | Small floating icon — click to restore Lace |
| Nudge received | Expands to show the insight headline |
| Nudge tapped | Opens detail cards with element-level highlights |
| Dismissed | Returns to idle |
Insight cards
Each nudge can produce up to three insight cards. Each card points to a specific part of your screen — Lace highlights exactly what it’s referring to with an overlay. Cards show in a swipeable carousel and include:- A specific observation about what you’re looking at
- A highlight on the UI element it applies to
- Context from your recent activity — where you’ve been, how long you stayed, what you did
