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.

MeshWrite — Evolution is Creation Most note-taking and writing apps force ideas into static documents. MeshWrite helps you evolve interconnected ideas through branching workflows, version history, and structured creation. Ideas rarely develop in a straight line. A note becomes a draft, a draft branches into alternatives, and a single concept evolves into articles, scripts, products, or entire knowledge systems. MeshWrite is designed for that process. Capture Ideas Before They Disappear Use Inbox and Scratchpad to capture notes, research, observations, and inspiration instantly. Focus on capturing ideas first and organizing them later. Think in Branches Traditional editors overwrite history. MeshWrite introduces native branching, allowing you to explore multiple directions without losing previous versions. Create alternative drafts, compare ideas side by side, and preserve the evolution of your thinking. Build with AI AI-generated content should not disappear inside chat sessions. MeshWrite transforms generated content into structured project assets. Generate variations, compare alternatives, and continue building on the strongest ideas while keeping everything organized inside a single project. Version Everything Create snapshots at any stage of your work, from rough concepts and experiments to polished final drafts. Your creative process remains visible and recoverable without maintaining duplicate files. One Project, Multiple Outcomes Develop articles, newsletters, video scripts, podcast outlines, social content, product specifications, and research documents from a single source of truth. Every piece of content remains connected to its origin and evolution. Stay Organized Naturally Manage growing projects with tags, publishing states, and archival tools. Organization becomes a natural result of creation rather than a separate task. Own Your Data Your workspace remains under your control. Export projects as complete bundles or standard Markdown files at any time. MeshWrite is designed to keep your ideas portable, accessible, and future-proof. Built for Creators and Thinkers • Writers and authors developing long-form work • Content creators managing multi-format content • Founders and indie makers building products • Researchers exploring complex topics • Knowledge workers organizing evolving ideas Evolution is Creation Great ideas are rarely created in a single draft. They emerge through iteration, exploration, branching, and refinement. MeshWrite helps you preserve and develop that entire journey. Stop managing files. Start evolving ideas.
