Ritual vs Foghorn

Build daily rituals that create lasting habits. Ritual turns the routines you wish you had into something you actually run — a guided sequence of timed tasks that flows from one to the next, hands-free, with calm precision. Start with a 5-minute morning anchor. A 25-minute deep work block. A 10-minute wind-down before bed. Whatever shape your day takes, Ritual gives it structure without rigidity. Designed for consistency. Every routine you complete builds a streak. The Insights tab shows your 14-week heatmap, weekly cadence, top routines, and favourite time of day — so the habits you're building become visible, not just hopeful. Designed for you. Schedule routines by day of week. Pick from 20 timer colour pairings and 8 app-wide background gradients. Light mode, dark mode, your mode. Pre-loaded with six research-backed starter routines — Morning, Deep Work, Midday Reset, Evening Shutdown, Weekly Reset, Student Study (Pomodoro). Or design your own from scratch. Designed for honesty. 1-tap mood reflection after each completion. An optional "why does this matter?" intention you can set per routine and pause on before the timer starts. Eight quiet milestones (First Step, Week Warrior, 30-Day Chain, the 66-day Automatic mark) that celebrate real behavioural inflection points — not arbitrary numbers. What's not in Ritual. • No subscription. Core features are free, forever. • No ads. • No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Your data lives on your device. • No streak-shame, no notifications begging you to come back. An optional one-time Supporter purchase unlocks the custom colour wheel — paint any timer you can imagine — and helps cover ongoing development. The full preset palette and every core feature stay free. Built by one person who wanted a habit app that respects the user. No unnecessary updates or bloatware to disrupt you. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, welcome. Routines that flow. Rituals that stick.

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 • Close a routine partway and resume at the step where you stopped later that day ("Continue from 3/7") • Timed steps keep time while you're in another app or the screen is locked, and a notification tells you when time's up (if you allow notifications) • See the current step, which step you're on, and an estimated end time on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while a routine runs, plus the time left on timed steps (Lock Screen only on models without a Dynamic Island) • 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).
