Product facts

What is Flowtime?

Flowtime combines flexible focus sessions, Pomodoro, reminders, time tracking, and optional app blocking. It helps you notice where your time goes, stay aware during deep focus, and stop intentionally—without requiring an account.

Learn how Flowtime works.

Focus modes

What focus modes does Flowtime support?

Flowtime supports four distinct focus tracking modes tailored for work, study, time awareness, hyperfocus check-ins, and intentional breaks.

Classic Timer

Track time with a simple count-up timer.

Classic Timer in Flowtime

Pomodoro

Flow Session

Set a target, get gentle reminders, and decide when to stop.

Does this feel familiar?

Time can disappear while you work.

Flowtime is built for the everyday moments when attention drifts, stretches, or gets pulled elsewhere.

Time blindness

You start one task and suddenly hours have passed. A visible session timer and focus reminders make passing time easier to notice.

Hyperfocus

Getting focused is not always the problem. Sometimes stopping is. Flow Sessions create flexible boundaries without pulling you out at the wrong moment.

Attention hijacking

One notification becomes twenty minutes of scrolling. App blocking protects intentional focus time and reduces context switching.

Rigid timers

Pomodoro can help, but a fixed interval can interrupt your best work. Flowtime supports Pomodoro and flexible focus sessions.

Why Flowtime exists

Why was Flowtime created?

I have ADHD, and during intense hyperfocus I can spend weeks mentally stuck on work, features, UI details, or whatever my brain has decided matters. Even when I stop working physically, my brain often keeps going.

Flowtime began as a way to focus longer. Over time, it also became a way to unfocus on purpose. Sometimes I start a one-hour FlowSession, block distracting apps, and go for a walk with my dog. Knowing the timer is running and the usual apps are unavailable makes it easier to be present instead of repeatedly checking my phone or thinking about work.

Distraction control

Block distractions without giving up control.

Flowtime helps reduce distractions by temporarily blocking selected apps during a focus session. Instead of relying on willpower alone, you decide in advance which apps should be unavailable while you work.

If you genuinely need access to a blocked app, you can always choose to override the block intentionally—adding a small moment of awareness before switching tasks. This approach helps reduce impulsive distractions while keeping you in control.
