Plans rarely survive the whole day. A meeting runs long, or one task turns out to be three. Flowo builds your day from your tasks and the limits you set, then rebuilds what is left each time the day changes. You see what moved, and why. Rebuild the day when it breaks When a task runs over, Flowo reflows the rest of the day around your fixed events. The schedule matches the time you actually have again. Plan without dragging blocks Add what needs doing. Flowo places each task into real free time, with breaks, around sleep, meals and the events you already have. See why every block sits where it does Open any block to see the constraint that placed it and what it was weighed against. Same inputs, same plan. Catch a thought before it goes Type or dictate it into Braindump. When you ask, Flowo turns a note into tasks with durations. The original note stays exactly as you wrote it. Keep habits through hard weeks Weekly targets scale down when the days run out, so a hard week still counts. Start focus from the plan The Pomodoro timer opens on the task that is up next. Private by design No account. Planning data is encrypted on this device with AES-256-GCM, and the key stays in the Apple Keychain. No ads, no cross-app tracking, nothing sold. Analytics stays off until you turn it on and never includes task text, notes, prompts, transcripts or media. Flowo Pro Flowo is free to download. Flowo Pro is an optional subscription with a 14-day free trial, billed to your Apple Account. Cancel in Settings at least 24 hours before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Flowo is a planning tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Privacy Policy: https://flowoapp.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://flowoapp.com/eula

Smallish isn't for organising your day. It's for when everything is already written down and you still can't start. Most planners help you see your day. Smallish helps you begin it. โ€” Break something down when it feels too big. One tap, and the thing you've been avoiding becomes a list of small moves. โ€” Before the clock starts, Smallish suggests something small. Get a glass of water. Stand up and stretch. The motion that makes the work possible. โ€” Say it out loud instead of typing. Speak, check it, and it saves. โ€” Simple mode strips the screen down to one thing, for the days when the app itself is too much. Nothing piles up. No streaks, no counters, no badges. Smallish never marks what you didn't do. Everything stays on your phone. No account, no sign-in.
