Foghorn starts your routines with a full-screen alarm that breaks through Silent and Focus mode — a real alarm, not a notification. One step at a time: no checklist, no shame for skipped days. No account, no ads, nothing ever leaves your phone.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm the solo dev behind Foghorn. Backstory: this started from a pain point that comes up constantly in ADHD communities — the notification that's supposed to start the morning routine gets swiped away half-asleep, day after day. Not because people don't care: a notification banner takes half a second to dismiss, and it's built to be dismissed.
iOS 26 shipped AlarmKit, a new framework that lets third-party apps ring an actual full-screen alarm that gets through Silent and Focus mode — the same category the Clock app uses. So Foghorn uses a real alarm to start your routines, then hands you one step at a time (never a full list) with a big "Done" button and zero guilt if you skip something or miss a day.
No account, no ads, no analytics — everything lives on your device.
Would love feedback on anything, but especially: does "one step at a time" feel like the right amount of structure, or too much/too little? And if you've tried other ADHD/routine apps, what made you stop using them? Answering everything in the comments today.
honestly the fact that it actually breaks through silent mode is kind of a game changer for me, always miss softer alarms. also love that there's no account setup, just downloaded and used it.

Thanks for actually giving it a run on day one — that means a lot. The "always miss softer alarms" thing is exactly the gap AlarmKit filled; a normal notification just can't hold the floor the way a real alarm does. And no account is deliberate: there's no server for your routines to leave to, so there's nothing to sign up for. If you get a few mornings into it, I'd genuinely like to hear where the first rough edge is.
the full-screen take over that cuts through Focus mode is a really thoughtful call, treating habit building like it actually matters instead of just tossing another silent notification into the pile

That's exactly the intent — a routine you actually care about shouldn't quietly lose to Silent mode. The other half of that same idea is what happens after it rings: one step at a time instead of a wall of checklist, and no shame if you skip a day. Appreciate you reading it that way.
