FlowState blocks the apps that pull at you, for as long as you say. Pick the apps and websites that distract you, choose how long, and start. They stay blocked until the timer ends. No account, no setup maze. FOCUS SESSIONS • Block a group of apps, categories and websites for anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours. • Pomodoro: focus in cycles, with short breaks in between. • Strict mode: a session that can't be ended early. • Tag to unlock: end a session only by scanning an NFC tag you keep in another room. • A calm blocked screen, with your own message and "5 more minutes" for when you really need it. BLOCKING ON AUTOPILOT • Schedules: block apps automatically every day, like Work from 9 to 5 or Bedtime overnight. • Strict schedules can't be switched off while they run. • Daily limits: allow yourself 30 minutes of social media a day. After that, the apps stay blocked until midnight. • Focus link: block a group automatically while an iOS Focus is on. • Start a session from the Home Screen widget or with Siri, and follow it on the Lock Screen. WATCH YOUR FOCUS ADD UP • Your day streak, with one missed day a week protected. • Your week at a glance, and a recap every Sunday. • Insights: how often you finish, and your best time of day. • Screen time, pickups and the apps that take most of your time, measured on your iPhone.
