Fennoc

Your phone, without the icon grid.

Why Fennoc

Keep everything your phone can do. Lose the clutter on the way there.

Dumb phones strip away your maps, banking, and camera. App blockers lock you out until a timer expires. Minimalist launchers turn your icons grayscale, but still leave you scrolling through a wall of apps.

Fennoc replaces your home screen with a single calm Stage. Your next priority sits front and center, Phone, Messages, and the last three apps you opened sit just above the dock, and the fox is always ready at the bottom to talk or type.

Zero badge noise

No grid of icons vying for your eyes. Just your current priority card, Phone and Messages, and the three apps you used most recently.

Drafts first, acts on your tap

Whether it’s a text message, reminder, or calendar update, the fox previews the action on a card first. Nothing is sent or saved until you confirm.

Private by default

No ads, no data brokers, and no attention harvesting. Your tasks and history stay in your account and can be wiped in one tap.

Direct launch

“Open Spotify.”

When you already know which app you need, you shouldn’t have to swipe past twenty unread badges to reach it.

The grid 5 steps

  1. Swipe up to all apps
  2. Scroll and look
  3. Tap search
  4. Type “spo”
  5. Tap Spotify

5 taps · 2 swipes · past 8 unread notification badges

Fennoc 2 steps

  1. Tap the fox
  2. Say “Open Spotify”

1 tap · 3 words · straight into Spotify

Both sides are acted out at a typical pace. A stopwatch test on a real phone replaces these clocks before launch.

From your last word to the open app: 72 ms.

Capabilities

Say what you need. Skip the detour.

Most pickups are for one specific job—checking a time, replying to a text, or capturing a task. Tell the fox in plain English, by voice or keyboard.

Voice or keyboard

Tap the fox and speak—even a half-formed thought works. In a quiet room or a meeting? Tap the keyboard icon and type instead.

One focus card at a time

Instead of a 30-item backlog staring at you all day, the Stage highlights your single next step. Check it off and the next one moves up.

Calls, texts, timers, and directions

“Text Sam I’m five minutes out.” “Set a 12-minute pasta timer.” “Directions to the hardware store.” Handled right from the Stage—even when offline.

Answers without the feed

Check the forecast, look up a quick fact, or see your afternoon schedule on a clean summary card—without opening a browser full of tabs.

Every Android app stays installed

Need your banking app, camera, or authenticator? Ask the fox to open it, tap it from your recent shelf, or search your full app drawer anytime.

Intentional guardrails

Put a 30-second breathing pause in front of distracting apps or sites during work hours or late at night—on rules you set yourself.

Manual vs. Voice-First

Stop acting as your own project secretary.

Traditional task apps—and our free manual mode—make you do all the filing: splitting thoughts into rows, picking projects, assigning dates, and cleaning up duplicates. With Fennoc, you speak naturally and confirm with a tap. Watch the same week on a project called Atlas, side by side.

Monday · You“Start an Atlas project. Set up a kickoff with their team, review the handoff doc before Thursday, and send a status update on Friday.”

Tuesday · You“For the status update, I could email it to the leads or post it in the Atlas channel.”

Wednesday · You“I asked the Atlas team for kickoff times. Once times land, pick one and put it in the calendar.”

Thursday morning · No inputThe day’s plan comes up on its own.

Next Monday · You“Priya is taking on the Atlas work, so close those out. I should follow up with her in a week.”

Free

$0 · no time limit

You create the project, break your thought into three separate tasks, and set each due date by hand.

Should you email the update or post it in the channel? A static list can't clarify, so the question sits unresolved until Friday.

Your follow-up note lands as a separate row from the original kickoff task. By Friday, you're left sorting out duplicates.

“Rollout plan” sits on your list looking too big to start until you manually break it into smaller steps.

Six manual edits: checking off five finished tasks and typing a new follow-up with a due date.

Fennoc

Paid · from $15 a month

Draft Say it in one breath. The fox drafts all three tasks with their due dates and files them when you tap Yes.

Because you mentioned two options without picking one, the fox asks right away instead of guessing.

The fox spots your existing kickoff task and asks whether to update it before adding a duplicate.

Draft Using the details you mentioned earlier in the week, the fox breaks the rollout into concrete steps—without inventing extra work.

One sentence and a single tap close all four tasks, calculate next Monday's date, and queue up the follow-up.

Free keeps everything on the left, with no time limit. Fennoc adds the right. See pricing

On-device insights

Watch your screen habits actually shift

Choose the apps that tend to eat your time. Fennoc tracks how many minutes you spend in them across a rolling seven-day window—100% locally on your device.

How a turn works

From thought to done in seconds

  1. Tap and speak (or type)

    Tap the fox in the dock. It hops to the center of the Stage and its ears tilt with your voice.

  2. The fox does the legwork

    Timers, calls, texts, and app launches run on-device right away; web answers and task updates are drafted in seconds.

  3. Done right on the Stage

    The fox puffs away as your answer or confirmation card rises up—while Phone, Messages, and the last three apps you used stay automatically on your shelf.

Founder note

Why Fennoc exists

I have ADHD and a demanding job. I want to live up to my potential and be present with my friends and family. But my phone still hooked me. I would pick it up to do one simple thing and end up scrolling.

I read almost every productivity book and tried every system. Each one worked for a few weeks. Then the novelty wore off, and the system needed me to run it faithfully: the weekly review, the inbox, the capture habit. I stopped, and the system stopped with me.

A dumb phone, app blockers and minimalist launchers boxed me in. So I started Fennoc to work around how I actually am. It is a full phone with one calm screen. I say what I need, and the fox keeps my tasks clear. There is no system for me to keep up.

FAQ

Questions & Answers

Straight answers before you switch home screens.

Using it

What can I ask the fox?

Ask the way you would ask a person: “When does Target close?”, “Set a timer for 10 minutes”, “Text Sam I’m running late”, “Open Spotify”. Timers, calls, texts, directions, and apps happen right on the phone. Other questions come back as an answer with its source.

Do I have to talk out loud?

No. Tap “Type” and write it instead. Fennoc has no wake word. It listens only when you tap the fox.

Can I still open any app?

Yes. Every app stays on your phone. Say “Open” and the app’s name, or open the full app list from the home screen and pick it.

How is it different from an app blocker?

A blocker stands at the app’s door and makes you fight it. Fennoc gives you the answer, so most of the time you don’t need the app at all. Every app stays one deliberate step away, and you can still block the ones that pull you in.

Can I go back to my old home screen?

Yes, any time. In your phone’s Settings, search for “Home app” and pick your old one. Your apps and their data stay as they were.

Which phones does it work on?

Android phones running Android 10 or later. For iPhone, Apple does not allow custom home screens yet, but an iOS companion is in development.

Price

Is there a free version?

Yes, for as long as you like. You can also try full Fennoc functionality free for 14 days. On the free tier, the calm home screen, your manual task list, guardrails, on-device voice commands (timers, calls, texts, directions, opening apps), and a few fox searches each week are all included. See what Fennoc adds.

What do beta testers get?

The beta is free. Testers who stay for the whole test get Fennoc free for a year after launch.

What happens if I stop paying?

You keep the free home screen and every task. The fox still handles on-device commands and a few searches each week, and you write new tasks yourself.

How do I cancel?

In Google Play, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, then Fennoc. Cancel during the 14 free days and you pay nothing.

Privacy

Does my voice leave the phone?

No. Your voice turns into text on the phone, and the audio is not sent anywhere. Timers, calls, texts, directions, and app opens never leave the phone. Only the words of a question go to Fennoc’s server.

Does Fennoc read my email?

Only if you explicitly connect it. Fennoc does not ask for access to your email during setup. Later, you can choose to connect Gmail and Google Calendar so the fox can help manage your schedule.
