About

Foghorn

Built for ADHD brains: full-screen alarms that break through Silent and Focus mode. One step at a time — never an overwhelming list, just the next thing to do. No account. No ads. Your routines never leave your phone. Notifications are easy to swipe away. Foghorn isn't. Your routines start with a real alarm — the kind that gets through even when your phone is silenced — so "I didn't hear it" stops being the reason your morning fell apart. Once it's running, you get one screen and one step. Not a checklist. Not a dashboard. Just the thing in front of you right now, with a big "Done" and nothing else competing for your attention. FROM THE ALARM TO "DONE" • Alarms that break through Silent and Focus mode, powered by Apple's AlarmKit • A one-step-at-a-time routine player — no scrolling, no clutter, no overwhelm • Ready-made templates: Morning Launch, Evening Shutdown, Work Start, Self-care, Before You Leave • A widget that shows your next routine at a glance • Skip a step and keep going — finished routines show up on Home as “done this week.” Foghorn never guilts you for an off day WHAT FOGHORN DOESN'T HAVE: ACCOUNTS, ADS, SERVERS • Nothing to sign up for — no account and no email address • Your routines, steps, and history stay on your device — the app has no server to leak from • Zero ads, zero trackers, zero analytics SDKs inside • One complete routine with every core feature — alarms, player, and widget — without paying anything Foghorn doesn't count your off days to shame you. It doesn't nag. It just makes sure the thing you meant to do actually reaches you — and makes doing it feel like less of a mountain. Foghorn Pro unlocks unlimited routines as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription (with a 7-day free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings (Settings app → your name → Subscriptions). Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://foghorn-legal.vercel.app/privacy.html Foghorn is not a medical device and offers no medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment — only a steadier way to start the routines you already meant to do.
