Product facts
What is Flowtime?
Flowtime is a flexible focus timer and time-awareness app for iPhone and Android. It combines Flow Sessions, Pomodoro, focus reminders, personal time tracking, and optional app blocking in one focused app. It is designed especially for people who lose track of time, disappear into hyperfocus, or get pulled away by small digital distractions. No account is required.
Does this sound familiar?
Time can disappear while you work.
Flowtime is built for the ordinary moments when ADHD time blindness, hyperfocus, rigid Pomodoro intervals, or phone distractions make focused time hard to feel.
Hyperfocus
Getting focused is not always the problem. Sometimes stopping is. Flow Sessions work like a hyperfocus timer, creating flexible boundaries without forcing a break at the wrong moment.
Attention hijacking
One notification becomes twenty minutes of unrelated scrolling. App blocking helps protect intentional focus periods and reduce context switching.
Rigid timers
Pomodoro can help, but a fixed interval can interrupt your best work. Flowtime supports Pomodoro and a flexible Pomodoro alternative for longer focus sessions.
Why Flowtime exists
I started using a focus timer to stop focusing.
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.
That is not a medical promise. It is one personal reason Flowtime is built around visible time, focus reminders, flexible sessions, and fewer distractions.
