Great alternative to Skedpal, automatic scheduling!
This is a fantastic app, it’s exactly what I was looking for in Skedpal (namely the automatic time blocking), with many of the features, but able to actually be used free?? Honestly, I really want to support the app and get the paid version, if there was a lifetime option you’d have me in a heartbeat. I completely understand the subscription model for continual support (and it’s fairly cheap too which is great), it’s just not in my cards at the moment, but the functionality is still great even if you only use the free features.
As someone with difficulty keeping on task due to chronic migraines, being able to auto adjust my times is a godsend when I have to drop everything and lie down. I wish there was a way of bulk changing due dates, or even an “add x days” to push items back, but I know that’s just my use case. Additionally, it would be awesome if down the road a natural language option was implemented in the inbox, so it could fill out some of the options when you do go to schedule it.
I can’t wait to see how it keeps evolving, and hope to be able to support the app soon. Keep up the good work!Show lessCraftyLittleDragonfly

Hi! Thanks so much for this awesome review! We're glad you're getting value from the free version!! Thanks a ton for your feature suggestions!Incredibly intuitive app, but missing one feature!
This app seems to have almost everything I could ever need for scheduling stuff. There’s stuff it has that I would’ve never even thought about but it turns out its super useful. There is one thing wrong with it though. You can’t set a max duration for how long you want to work on a task at once. This will lead to the app blocking out 9 hours in a row for a project, when I can’t work productively for 9 hours straight. Please add support for a max duration! The longest I can work without losing my focus is probably about 3 hours. If I could set a max duration to be 3 hours, that would make this app perfect.Show lessMIT_student_123

Thanks so much for this great review and your feedback! For some context, the reason we haven't implemented a max block duration for splittable tasks is that everyone wants this feature to behave differently, so we would have to add a ton of settings in order to support all the different cases, which would go against FlowSavvy's focus on simplicity and ease-of-use. However, we would love to hear how you'd like this feature to behave at support@flowsavvy.app! Here is one question to get started: After the first 3 hour section (assuming a 9hr task), when would you want the next 3 hours to be scheduled?Needs some improvements
I typically only use this platform during certain seasons when I really need to manage tasks and efficiency, so it would be really helpful if old repeating tasks could have a delete all past due options. Other quirks I’ve found could use improvement but I’ll have to provide details later because I haven’t used it in a while and will need a refresher before I can specify.Show lessLhepp23

Hi! It sounds like you haven't used FlowSavvy since we solved the problem of old repeating tasks with the "auto-ignore" concept. "Auto-ignored" tasks get automatically ignored if they can't be scheduled before their deadline, and then deleted once their deadline passes. This helps reduce the clutter of old repeating tasks. You can easily turn auto-ignore on for old tasks or fast-forward them by changing their due date in the view that shows up when you click the red triangle at the top of the screen. We would greatly appreciate if you could try out this new auto-ignore feature and update your review. For any other questions or feedback, please reach out to support@flowsavvy.app and we'll be more than happy to help. Thank you!
