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.
