Why I built Unfog — and why every other app failed me first

Hey Product Hunt 👋

I'm Rafshan, a CS student. I built Unfog solo — design, frontend, backend, everything.

Here's the honest reason it exists:

I have too many hobbies. Football, table tennis, guitar, writing, multiple side projects. I'm not unfocused — I'm genuinely into all of it. But every productivity app I tried was built for someone with one goal and laser focus.

They also all had the same problem: my gym routine lived in one app, my tasks in another, my journal somewhere else, and my bad habits — the stuff I was actively trying to stop — tracked nowhere. Completely thriving on their own.

So I'd miss gym. Miss class. Start a habit, feel great for four days, forget it existed.

And every app I tried to fix this was so boring. White. Minimal. Clean. I'd open it, feel nothing, close it.

Unfog is what I actually needed:

→ 3 daily nudges (not 47 notifications)

→ Routines, todos with subtasks, journaling

→ A "shouldn't list" — for habits you're trying to DROP, not build

→ No streaks. No shame mechanics.

→ Retro icons, because it should be fun to open

Live on Android now. iOS coming.

I'd love honest feedback — what's missing, what's confusing, what would make you actually use this daily. Tell me everything. 🙏
