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.

The recurring real-life stuff that quietly piles up — the haircut, the AC filter, the dentist, the vitamins. It doesn't fit your calendar (the date depends on when you last did it). It doesn't belong in a habit tracker (no streaks chasing you, no goal pressure). Again is the small, calm tracker built for those things. Tap done; the next reminder schedules itself. THREE MODES, ONE TAP • Loops — recurring on your cadence, not on a fixed date. "Haircut every 5 weeks": tap done after the haircut, and the next one schedules five weeks from that moment. • Dailies — daily things you want to check off. Vitamins, stretch, journal. Tap = "done today"; midnight resets. • Tallies — counters with no schedule or goal. Meditation, push-ups, glasses of water. Tap = +1. No reminders, no targets. SLEEP — TIMED PAUSE AND SEASONAL WINDOWS Put a loop to sleep for 6 months and it wakes itself. Mark one as "pool season only — May through Sep" and it sleeps every winter and reappears every spring, forever, with no action from you. Timed sleep and seasonal windows compose: a loop can have both. Sleep works on Loops, Dailies, and Tallies. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Real recurrence is messy. "Dental every 6 months — every 2nd visit is whitening." "Groceries every week — every 4th is the bigger Costco run." Per-occurrence variants override the title, notes, or emoji on every Nth occurrence — the row shows what's coming next so you're never surprised. CALM, NOT GAMIFIED No badges, no streak-loss notifications, no XP, no celebrations. Daily streaks show as a tiny chip — informational, never motivational machinery. Tallies have no goals or reminders, on purpose. NO ACCOUNT, NO EMAIL, NO NAG Again works fully offline, with no login screen. Optional sync between devices is account-less: your phone generates a random ID, with no email and no password. Your task content is end-to-end encrypted, so the server stores only ciphertext it cannot read. Linking a second device is a one-time QR scan. FREE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY Everyday use — Loops, Dailies, Tallies, the home-screen widget, reminders, calendar sync, sleep, and JSON backup — works without paying anything. The optional cross-device sync is $9.99/year or local equivalent. No ads, no upsells, no unlock screens. HOME-SCREEN WIDGET Tap done from your home screen — no need to open the app. Each widget picks a mode in its configuration (Loops, Dailies, or Tallies), so you can place several side by side. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Local-first by default. End-to-end encrypted sync: everything leaves the device as a blob the server cannot read. Your devices hold the only key. JSON backup exports everything as a single readable file. NOT A CALENDAR. NOT A TODO APP. NOT A HABIT TRACKER. A focused tracker for personal repetition.
