Flowmo: Flexible Pomodoro timer that won't break your flow state The problem with classical Pomodoro is that we often finish our work early or the task takes longer than 25 minutes, resulting in interruptions by the alarm. Flowmo addresses this by offering flexibility: work x minutes, take x/5 minutes break. Flowmo automatically calculate and set break timer for you based on your work duration. In this way you can stay in the flow state while maintaining the 5:1 work-break ratio. Main features: • Flexible Timer: Work 50 minutes, take 10 minutes break; work 120 minutes, take 24 minutes break. • Todo List: Focus one task at a time to stay monotasked. Todo list app integrations available (Todoist, TickTick, Microsoft To Do and Google Tasks) • Focus reports: Provides daily focus statistics • Customizable Options: Tweak the work and break ratio to fit your needs.
