Notifications get ignored. A ringing phone doesn't. FocusCall is an ADHD reminder app that places a real phone call the moment a task is due. WHY A CALL, NOT A PING A push notification blends into the noise you've trained yourself to tune out. A ringing phone forces a decision: pick up, or don't. That's the interruption an ADHD brain needs to switch tracks and actually act. HOW IT WORKS - Add a task for a specific time โ€” once, or recurring (daily, weekdays, weekly, or specific days) - At the right moment, your phone rings and a voice tells you the one thing to do - No answer? Nag Mode calls back as many times as you choose, until you respond ONE KEY DOES EVERYTHING No app to open, no typing. Just press: 1 โ€” I'm on it (done) 2 โ€” Snooze one hour 3 โ€” Remind me tomorrow 9 โ€” Cancel this reminder 0 โ€” Stop all reminder calls CALENDAR SYNC Let FocusCall read your phone's calendar and it calls you before your events โ€” no re-typing your day into another app. It sees whatever your Calendar app already shows: iCloud, Exchange, subscribed calendars, and any Google account you added in iOS Settings. You choose which calendars count. CALL ME WHEN I ARRIVE Set a location reminder and FocusCall rings when you get near the place โ€” the pharmacy, the office, the post office. BUILT FOR ADHD - Nag Mode โ€” one try is never enough. - Rotating scripts that change every time, so they never fade into robotic background noise. - Snooze with one key press, right from the call. - Predictable flat pricing โ€” no per-minute or per-call charges, ever. - Consent-first โ€” calls only your own verified number, stop instantly with one key. PLANS - Free: 5 calls per month to try it out. - Basic: 30 calls per month. - Pro: unlimited calls (fair use, up to ~15/day). - Pro+: unlimited calls for heavy users (fair use, up to ~30/day). Subscriptions auto-renew; cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. FocusCall is a productivity tool, not a medical device, and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
