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.

Productivity 101 turns focus into a measurable habit. Start a session like a chess clock: your work time counts up, and when you need a break you tap once — break time is tracked separately, so you always know your true focused hours. End the session for a clean summary of work, breaks, and focus rate. It's built for people who are accountable to themselves — students with deadlines, founders, freelancers, and anyone who works long hours and wants to see the proof. TRACK WHAT MATTERS • Chess-clock timer with separate work and break tracking • Assign each session to a task; set daily or weekly time targets • Live progress bars and a clear daily goal STAY MOTIVATED — PROFESSIONALLY • A Focus Score and Levels earned purely from real logged hours • Daily and weekly objectives, with streaks and streak protection • Badges at 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 hours per task UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS • A contribution heatmap of your focus, day by day • Personal records, lifetime hours, and per-task trends • Daily and weekly recaps MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • Hands-free voice control of the timer • Optional reminders as you near a target • Works offline; syncs securely across your devices when you sign in You're accountable to yourself. Productivity 101 keeps the score.
