Product facts
What is Flowtime?
Flowtime is an ADHD focus timer for time blindness, hyperfocus, Pomodoro, focus reminders, project time tracking, and optional app blocking on iPhone and Android. It combines Flow Sessions, Pomodoro, focus reminders, personal time tracking, and optional app blocking in one focused app.
Focus modes
What focus modes does Flowtime support?
Flowtime supports four distinct focus tracking modes tailored for work, study, ADHD time awareness, hyperfocus check-ins, and intentional breaks.
What is the Classic Timer?
Simple, intuitive time tracking that lets you track time count up effortlessly.
How does Pomodoro work in Flowtime?
Stay structured with configurable work and break intervals.
What is Flowmodoro?
The Flowtime Technique: work until focus fades, then take a break based on how long you focused.
What is a Flow Session?
Set a target duration, receive gentle check-in reminders, and decide when to stop.
Why standard timers fail
Why do traditional focus timers fail for ADHD?
Flowtime is built for the ordinary moments when ADHD time blindness, hyperfocus, rigid Pomodoro intervals, or phone distractions make focused time hard to feel.
What is ADHD time blindness?
You start one task and suddenly hours have passed. A visible ADHD timer and focus reminders make passing time easier to notice.
How does hyperfocus affect focus timing?
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.
How does app blocking prevent attention hijacking?
One notification becomes twenty minutes of unrelated scrolling. App blocking helps protect intentional focus periods and reduce context switching.
Why are rigid Pomodoro timers hard to maintain?
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
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.
