## What is FocusFlow?

FocusFlow isn't here to push you harder. It's here to make starting easier.

Built for ADHD brains — and anyone who finds "just focus" easier said than done — FocusFlow lowers the barrier at the hardest moment: getting started.

WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT

• Start the smallest step. Stuck? FocusFlow hands you a 2-minute first move, not a lecture.

• Work with your energy, not against it. Pick tasks by how you feel right now — high, steady, or low. Every state has its place.

• Rewards for showing up, not output. Every focus session grows your Focus Garden. Miss a day? No penalty, no shame — your garden remembers every minute you came back.

• See time pass. A calm countdown, plus a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so time stops quietly slipping away.

• Catch every thought. Zero-friction Quick Capture — type it or just say it out loud — so ideas don't disappear before you use them.

GENTLE BY DESIGN

No streak guilt. No monitoring. No "you're behind." FocusFlow is a warm coach, never a taskmaster — because shame is the number-one reason focus apps get deleted.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Your tasks, energy, and garden stay on your device, optionally synced through your own private iCloud. No accounts. No tracking. No third-party analytics.

BRING YOUR OWN AI (OPTIONAL)

Want a hand breaking a big task into tiny steps? Add your own API key (works with major AI models). Your key lives in your device's Keychain — never on our servers.

FocusFlow is free. Open it, and start with one small thing.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-03

This update, FocusFlow did two quiet pieces of homework:

• Full VoiceOver support: from starting a focus session, pausing, feeling stuck, to the little completion celebration — every step can now be read aloud, so you can use FocusFlow smoothly even without seeing the screen.
• A gentler review prompt: FocusFlow won't ask you to rate it the moment you open the app — it only asks once, after you've actually spent real time together.

The app is now FocusFlow: Gentle ADHD Timer, with a small refresh to the store page too.

As always: no nagging, no red badges, no punishment. Got thoughts? We'd love to hear them.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-27

In this update, FocusFlow learned two gentle little things:

• Return cue: when you pause or finish a focus session, you can save a next step — an answer to "When you return, which step would you like to start with?" It waits quietly on your home screen. Continue for 2 minutes, pick a different way to start, or let go for now — letting go never costs you anything.
• Start support: when you feel stuck, choose the kind of support that would help you start right now, and make the first step smaller.

As always: no nagging, no red badges, no punishment.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-19

FocusFlow now reads more naturally when you’re starting, making a task smaller, focusing at your own pace, finishing up, or choosing optional Anonymous Presence. We clarified its privacy: a random ID is forgotten after 90 seconds. The service retains no IDs, personal information, tasks, or content; for capacity monitoring only, it keeps an hourly aggregate peak with none of those data. Stability improvements.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-18

Home now reads your state better:
• Not focusing yet? See your task, energy level, and a one-tap Start Focus
• Mid-focus? Home becomes a mini progress bar with time left
• The Body Doubling card is honest now — it only shows up when someone's really there with you
Plus some polish and stability fixes.
Nothing was taken away. Nothing ever will be.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-07-09

Stability improvements, plus the Garden Seasons Pack debut: dress your Focus Garden in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Purely cosmetic, one-time purchase — every feature stays free.
