## What is FlowTurn?

The AI takes 90 seconds. You come back 20 minutes later.

That gap is not a discipline problem. It is a design problem: nothing tells you the agent finished. Your phone certainly doesn't.

FlowTurn blocks the apps that eat your attention during the hours you choose, and hands them back exactly while Cursor or Claude Code is working. The moment the agent stops, the block returns. That is the part that matters. The block coming back is what pulls you out of the feed.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose which apps to block and which hours matter. Once.
2. Install the hooks on your computer with a single command. Or just tell Cursor or Claude Code to install them for you, FlowTurn ships a setup guide written for AI agents to read.
3. Send a prompt. Your apps unlock. The agent finishes, and they lock again.

There is a short pause after the agent stops before blocking returns, so you can pick things up where you left off.

NOT SURE IT WORKS? SEE IT FIRST.

FlowTurn includes a full demo inside the app. It runs the entire cycle, block, unblock, block again, in about a minute, with nothing connected and nothing to install. You open a blocked app, watch it open on its own, and watch it close again. Free, no account.

WHAT YOU GET

• Automatic unblocking while your agent works, and automatic blocking when it stops
• Works with Cursor and Claude Code
• Schedules by day and hour, so evenings and weekends are yours
• A manual release when you genuinely need an app right now
• Keeps working when your computer is off, it falls back to a normal schedule

YOUR APP LIST NEVER LEAVES THE IPHONE

FlowTurn uses Apple's Screen Time APIs. Which apps you chose to block is stored on-device by iOS and is never transmitted, not even to us, the API does not expose that list to developers in the first place.

Your computer sends exactly two things: "a task started" and "a task ended." No prompts, no code, no file names, no repository names. Nothing about what you are building.

Every decision about what to block is made on your iPhone. You can turn everything off at any time.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH AGENTS

A blocker on a fixed schedule cannot tell the difference between you waiting on a build and you avoiding work. So it either locks you out during a legitimate wait, until you disable it, which everyone eventually does, or it lets you scroll all day.

FlowTurn reads the one signal that actually knows: whether your agent is running.
