FlowKeep vs Sparko

Side projects don't die in a day. They die slowly, one forgotten week at a time. You lose context, lose momentum, and before you know it, that thing you were excited about is buried under life. FlowKeep fixes that. FlowKeep is a project continuity app built for creative people with limited time. It uses a smart queue to surface your projects before they go stale, a weekly planner to map out your time, and streak tracking to keep you honest, all while preserving the context you need to jump right back in. HOW IT WORKS Every project has a freshness threshold, a window of time (1 to 30 days) before it starts to go stale. As projects approach that window, they rise in your queue. Open the app, and you immediately know what needs your attention today, or check the Planner to see your entire week at a glance. KEY FEATURES Smart Queue Your projects are automatically sorted by urgency. Sections like "Catch Up," "Touch Today," "This Week," and "On Track" tell you exactly where things stand at a glance. A "Starting Soon" section previews upcoming projects with future start dates. A capacity alert warns you if you're overcommitted. 7-Day Planner See your entire week laid out with an expandable day-by-day view. Each day shows which projects are due, starting, or overdue, with color-coded status chips and time estimates. A summary header shows total projects, total time commitment, and your busiest day. Heavy days that exceed your capacity are flagged automatically so you can plan around them. Context Preservation Each project stores your last thought, your next action, notes, and links. When you come back to a project after days away, you reload your context instantly. No more "where was I?" Streaks & Visual Tracking A 90-day check-in grid for every project lets you see your consistency. The grid adapts to each project's threshold. Daily projects show daily cells, weekly projects show weekly windows. A consistency percentage shows how reliably you touch each project. Hit milestones at 7, 30, and 90 days and earn streak badges. Celebrate wins. No shame for breaks. Learning / Doing Balance Tag each project as "learning" or "doing" and set a target ratio. FlowKeep helps you maintain balance between building skills and shipping things. The queue automatically boosts underrepresented project types. Widgets & Siri Shortcuts Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your queue at a glance. Mark a project as touched right from a widget. Six Siri Shortcuts let you check your queue, get top projects, add projects, mark as touched, open a project, or check your streak, all hands-free. Templates & Sharing Start new projects from 30+ curated templates across 6 categories. Save any project as your own template. Share templates with friends via QR codes and links. Accountability Buddy (optional) Invite one partner to see your project titles and send each other gentle nudges to keep going. It's lightweight encouragement. No feeds, no followers, no pressure. iCloud Sync Your data syncs seamlessly across your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. No account to create. It just works. Privacy First No tracking. No analytics sent anywhere. No account required. Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. Period. WHO IT'S FOR - Developers with side projects piling up - Creators juggling learning and building - Hobbyists who want to stay consistent - Anyone who's ever said "I should get back to that" FlowKeep doesn't replace your task manager. It sits alongside it, focused on one thing: making sure the projects you care about never quietly die.

Is your inspiration scattered across every corner of your digital life? Screenshots in your camera roll, links saved across different apps, half-written notes, and ideas that appear out of nowhere. Each one caught your attention for a reason, but many are rarely seen again. Sparko gives those ideas a place of their own. It does more than organize images. It helps you put inspiration back into the part of your life where it belongs. MAKE SPACE FOR EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE Your next trip, the home you are decorating, outfits you want to try, books you want to read, or a product you are building. Create a space for each part of your life. A screenshot no longer belongs only to the day you saved it. It can belong to your home, your travels, or whatever you want to do next. SAVE NOW, SORT LATER Save a screenshot, photo, link, or passing thought. Capture it first and add tags whenever you are ready. The ideas that used to disappear into your camera roll finally have somewhere to stay. FIND IT AGAIN WITH TAGS Add primary and secondary tags to your inspiration. When something comes back to mind, you will not have to search through your camera roll, notes, and different apps to find it. Open Sparko and see it again. FROM SAVED FOR LATER TO HAPPENING NOW Mark inspiration as Saved, In Progress, or Completed. Some ideas deserve to become more than another item in a collection. Sparko lets you see them gradually become part of your real life. It does not expect you to act on everything you save, and it will not pressure you. It simply keeps the things you love close and helps you notice which ideas are actually happening. KEY FEATURES • Create spaces around different parts of your life • Save screenshots, photos, links, and written ideas • Organize inspiration with primary and secondary tags • Search and filter everything you have saved • Track ideas as Saved, In Progress, or Completed • Enjoy a calm, notebook-inspired interface Your camera roll saves the image. Sparko saves what it means to your life. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
