FlowArc helps you turn plans into focused work sessions. It combines a Pomodoro focus timer, task manager, project lists, calendar planning, and clear progress stats in one calm workspace. Create tasks, estimate them with Pomodoro sessions, organize them by project, and start a focus timer directly from the task you want to finish. FlowArc keeps each session tied to real work, so your time records stay meaningful instead of becoming a loose stopwatch history. Use calendar integration to plan your day with scheduled task blocks, sync completed focus sessions, and review where your time went. On iPhone, Live Activities, notifications, and widgets keep the current timer visible even when you leave the app. With iCloud sync, your tasks, projects, settings, and focus history can stay available across devices. FlowArc is built for students, makers, writers, freelancers, and anyone who wants a quieter way to manage time, reduce context switching, and finish important work without losing track of the day.

168 is a weekly time budget. Not a tracker — a budget. You have 168 hours every week. Pick the categories that matter (sleep, work, family, deep work, drift), set an hourly budget for each, and 168 shows you spent vs. remaining like a checking account. WHY WEEKLY, NOT DAILY A bad Tuesday doesn't ruin the week. 168 zooms out so one late night or skipped workout doesn't trigger a streak-shame spiral — the week is the unit that actually matches how life works. WHAT'S INSIDE • Manual entry + one-tap timer • Drift category — the honest bucket for time you can't account for • Sunday Review — 60 seconds, what stuck, what didn't • Live Activities — current category on the lock screen • Sign in with Apple, Google, or stay local FREE WHILE WE LAUNCH Everything in 168 is free during launch. More variants, calendar import, and cloud sync are on the way — join the waitlist in-app. PRIVACY No tracking. No ads. Your data stays yours — local first, sync only if you sign in.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: 168 at Free against FlowArc's $2.99. 168 also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.2). FlowArc's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
