Brainfog — ADHD Focus Timer - Your goblin loses HP when you doomscroll. Stay focused

by•
Brainfog is a focus app built specifically for ADHD brains. A goblin mascot tracks your HP in real time — rising when you focus, dropping when you don't. No blank to-do lists. No willpower required. Just you, your goblin, and actual stakes

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Tee, the founder of Brainfog — and I have ADHD. I built this because I was genuinely struggling. I'd tried every productivity app — Forest, Notion, Tiimo, Todoist — and none of them gave my brain anything to actually respond to. A blank list does nothing for dopamine-deficient brains. It just makes you feel worse when you inevitably don't complete it. The goblin HP mechanic came from a frustrating realisation: the only thing that reliably made me do things was when something was watching and visibly suffering because of my choices. I know how that sounds. But it works. A few things people always ask: Does it work on mobile? Yes — it's a web app, no download needed, works in any browser including on your phone. Is the goblin actually funny? The goblin has a face that I genuinely feel bad disappointing. So yes. What's the free version? Full HP system, focus timer, goblin emotional states, and basic streaks. Paid unlocks cloud sync, full stats history, and advanced streak mechanics. I'd love honest feedback from the community — especially from people with ADHD who have tried other systems. What didn't work, and does this approach make sense to you? Happy to answer everything in the comments. Thank you for having us
