## What is FlowStack?

No ads. No account required. Just focus. 

FlowStack is a simple productivity timer, task manager, and routine app designed to beat procrastination and sharpen focus by having a clear name and timer for your task. Use it as a flexible timer for personal, work or study tasks, daily routines, or a focus tool if you struggle with multitasking or constant task switching. FlowStack keeps you on track and making real progress, one task at a time.

In FlowStack, each task or to-do has an estimated duration and a timer that starts ticking down when you start the session. This makes it easier starting the task, and helps you get into a flow state by focusing on one task at a time. The current task is also shown as a Live Activity and in the Dynamic Island, making it easy to stay on task even while you're using another app. Once you're done, FlowStack pushes you into the next task. Need more time to finish the first task? Simply add more time to the timer, or continue in a flow state where time is unlimited.

If you want to use it as a to-do list rather than focus session, you can also complete a task without starting the timer. 

Perfect for:

• Procrastinators who struggle getting started

• People with ADHD seeking simple focus tools

• Anyone organizing tasks into daily routines

• Users wanting a simple system for recurring tasks

• Fans of Pomodoro and Atomic Habits (habit stacking, time blocking)

• Professionals and students boosting productivity and focus

• Anyone starting good habits—fitness, mental health, cleaning, learning, etc.

What makes FlowStack different?

• Flexible task timer. Like Pomodoro, but customizable and clear
• Stack tasks in sequence. Avoid distractions, build flow by doing tasks after eachother (habit stacking)
• Build habits with daily routines (morning routine, workout, study, business tasks)
• ADHD-friendly focus and clean time blocking, no clutter
• Great for deep work, project planning, personal growth
• Tasks, focus timers, routines all in one simple app

Core features:

• Flexibly time block your schedule for focused productivity. Each task has an estimated duration, easily extendable in case you need more time for a task
• Unlimited tasks & templates for recurring tasks (2 template/routine limit for free users, unlimited one-off tasks for free users)
• Track daily & weekly stats for motivation
• Lightweight, minimalist. No accounts, no ads, generous free version available

### 5/5 — Finally got me actually starting tasks

*2026-05-08*

I’m the king of “I’ll do it in 5 minutes.” FlowStack just makes me start. Naming the task and seeing the timer in the Dynamic Island while I’m in another app is what does it. I can’t pretend I forgot. Love that I can add more time instead of feeling like I failed a Pomodoro. Exactly what I needed.

**Developer response:** Glad to hear it has helped you with procrastinating! Regards, Sandra

### 5/5 — The best focus app!

*2026-05-08*

Best productivity app I’ve used! I manage multiple clients throughout the day, so staying organized with my tasks and todos is non-negotiable - this app makes it easy. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a real focus boost at work.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

**Developer response:** Happy to hear! If there is anything to improve in the app, let me know :) Regards, Sandra

### 5/5 — Easy to use and so helpful for adhd

*2026-05-08*

Loved this app. Made it super helpful to be productive and stay focused that it's now part of my daily routine. Worth the features for the lifetime membership.

**Developer response:** Happy to hear that it is working for you! If there is anything to improve in the app, let me know :) Regards, Sandra

### 5/5 — Amazing for ADHD

*2026-05-08*

I’ve been struggling with my daily todos for years. This app is a game changer. It helps me stay focused and locked in on the tasks I need to get done. I’ve been in flow state way more often since using this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! If there is anything to improve, let me know :) Regards, Sandra

### 5/5 — Underrated!

*2026-01-21*

Good concept of an app and a really clean UI! it also offers a pretty generous free tier which I’m so grateful for. I like the seamless integration of the timer on the dynamic island, and I hope you add some nice widget options. Thank you for making this app, truly!

**Developer response:** Thank you! I will for sure add widgets soon

Regards, Sandra

### 5/5 — I’ve tried them all, this one is the best

*2025-12-12*

I have ADHD -  and timed routine builders work very well for me. I have tried them all (paid and unpaid) and this minimal no clutter one is simply the best. All the rest are extremely clunky or are trying to be “everything apps.” The interface is pleasing to look at but non-distracting and the routines are easy to build and rearrange. Most importantly for someone with time blindness, the app allows you to move through the routine one step at a time in a timed focus mode. The developer has ADHD and built this app for themselves and it really shows in the functionality. I think the only feature maybe I would like is an auto play for some routines with alerts for the transitions.

### 4/5 — A solid, useful app

*2025-12-07*

A very useful app for short term (the next hour or the full day) planning, and then executing the plan flexibly, keeping track of time. Since the original release the developer has gradually made various nice improvements. For me, adding the ability to sync across devices (iPhone and iPad) would make the app pretty much ideal.

### 5/5 — Simple but highly effective

*2025-10-21*

FlowStack is the app I’ve been looking for. It’s clean, calm, and easy to use, but still powerful enough to make a real difference in how I work. The layout keeps me focused without distractions, and building or running a session feels effortless.

It pairs perfectly with my main task manager by helping me move from planning to actually doing. Since I started using FlowStack, I’ve been getting far more done with a lot less mental strain. It keeps me in motion, helps me stay present, and makes my workday flow in a way that feels natural.

I can’t recommend this app enough. It’s simple, effective, and genuinely helps me get things done. I installed it on my personal phone, work phone, and even my Mac! (Hoping for a Mac app)
