Flowty vs Anno

Focus timer that actually blocks the apps you keep opening. Flowty is a Pomodoro-style focus timer with a real app blocker — not a soft reminder you can dismiss. Pick the apps that hijack your attention. Start a session. They're locked. Your phone becomes a tool again. Built for students, knowledge workers, creators, and anyone who's tried five focus apps and ended up back on Instagram in 90 seconds. WHY FLOWTY IS DIFFERENT → Real app blocking, not willpower.
