It basically means Just in time.

Many years ago a students attendance was marked with a nick, or notch on a stick.

The saying " in the nick of time" meant, just in time to get counted.
At the last second. Example: I was begging to starve but in the nick of time, the Pizza man delivered our food.
In the nick of time means something happened just seconds before it needed to.

Something occurred just quick enough to prevent something negative from happening.

Example sentence:

Seeing the approaching vehicle, he sprinted toward the toddler and scooped her up in the nick of time.
