Discover Flowton - a quantum leap in productivity. Flowton is a gamified time tracker that helps you focus, build habits, and visualize your day. Rethink your time around objectives ("cores"). Productive time goes up. Unproductive time goes down. How it works: ◦ Banked time generates flowtons — a productivity particle that only exists when you measure it. ◦ Run Countdown or Count Up timers to deposit time into your Core, or discard it into the Black Hole. ◦ Productive time builds up orbits around the Core. Unproductive time gets ejected into the Black Hole. Monitor and improve your ratio. ◦ Create boards with a multitude of Cores, find the perfect daily setup to achieve your goals. ◦ Visualize your time history, view stats and set objectives. Features: ∘ Sci-fi gamified time tracking. ∘ Multiple time-keeping tools to help you make it your own. ∘ Finish the day strong and store your Core into your productivity history. ∘ Bank Cores daily or over longer periods - you decide how time works for you. ∘ Maintain a streak to stay on track. ∘ Full offline functionality. ∘ Upgrade to Flowton Prime to create (theme) multiple boards, and view more historic day cells. All else is base game. Time is finite. Use it wisely.
