FocusCall — for brains that ignore notifications

FocusCall rings your phone. You actually do it.

FocusCall is a productivity app that turns your tasks and reminders into real phone calls instead of push notifications — and it keeps calling until you pick up. Notifications get muted. A ringing phone doesn't.

Available now on the App Store — US phone numbers only for now, more regions coming soon.

About this app

FocusCall is a reminder app that phones you.

An iPhone app for people who miss push notifications — mostly adults with ADHD. FocusCall doesn't ping you. It rings you.

It calls, out loud

Add a task and a time. At that time FocusCall rings your phone and reads the task to you. Miss it and it calls back until you answer. One key ends it: 1 done, 2 in an hour, 3 tomorrow, 9 cancel, 0 stop every call for good.

Your number, nobody else's

We dial only the number you typed in yourself and confirmed with a one-time code, and only for reminders you created. FocusCall never calls a third party, and pressing 0 on any call stops all of them.

How FocusCall uses Google data

Only if you ask. Connect your Google account in Settings and FocusCall reads your next 7 days through Google's read-only calendar.readonly permission — event title, start time, your own RSVP, and the reminder time you already set on the event — and turns each event into a call at that time. It never writes to your calendar, and that data is never used for ads or analytics. Disconnect and the access is revoked, the data deleted. FocusCall uses your Google account data only for these reminder calls, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Why a call, not a ping

Notifications ask politely.
A call insists.

Push notifications blend into a wall of badges you've trained yourself to swipe away. A phone call demands a binary decision: pick up, or don't. That tiny moment of friction is exactly what an ADHD brain needs to switch tracks.

Looks familiar?

A push notification

  • Silently stacks with 40 others
  • Swiped away on reflex, unread
  • Gives up after one try
  • Easy to "deal with later" forever

A FocusCall

  • Rings — full screen, full attention
  • Needs a real answer to dismiss
  • Calls back until you respond
  • Turns "later" into "right now"
How it works

Three steps. Then it does
the remembering.

Tell it the task

Add what you need to do and when. Set it once, or have it recur daily, on weekdays, or weekly.

It calls you

At the moment it's due, your phone actually rings. A warm, plain-spoken voice tells you the one thing to do.

It doesn't give up

No answer? Nag Mode calls back a few minutes later — as many times as you choose — until you actually respond.

In-call controls

When it calls, one key
does everything.

No app to open, no typing. Answer and press a number — the way you'd tell a real assistant what to do next. Try it 👇

You pressed
1
I'm on it.

The task is marked done and the calls stop. That's the whole interaction — done in two seconds, without breaking your flow.

Tap a key on the pad to see what it does.

Built for the way you actually work

Designed around ADHD,
not bolted on.

Nag Mode

One try is never enough. Choose how many times and how often it calls back, so a missed reminder isn't a missed task.

Scripts that change

Every call uses different, warm wording — so it never fades into robotic background noise your brain learns to tune out.

Snooze that sticks

Press 2 for an hour or 3 for tomorrow. It reschedules itself — no guilt, no re-typing, no dropped balls.

Consent-first by design

We only ever call your own number — verified with a one-time code before any call. Press 0 to stop all calls, instantly.

No shame, ever

The voice is the encouraging friend, not the nagging parent. ADHD-friendly tone that meets you where you are.

Sign in, set, forget

Sign in with Apple or Google, add your number once, and you're set. No passwords, no clutter, no setup marathon.

Knows your calendar

Optionally connect Google Calendar (read-only) and FocusCall turns your upcoming events into call reminders automatically — no re-typing your schedule. Disconnect anytime; nothing is ever edited or deleted on your calendar.

Memory, backed up

No more
“I forgot.”

Your brain doesn't have to hold the whole list anymore. FocusCall keeps the time, makes the call, and refuses to let the important stuff slip — so you can stop white-knuckling your own memory.
