FocusFlow is the ADHD-friendly Pomodoro that blocks distractions only while you focus. Start a session, watch Instagram and TikTok disappear, finish, get them back — no all-day parental-controls guilt. WHY FOCUSFLOW • Actually finish what you started — apps you pick are blocked only for the length of your focus block, then unlock automatically. • No more "just five more minutes" — Flowtime lets you run open-ended sessions when you're already in the zone. • Built for brains that need momentum, not marathons — ADHD mode ships 15-minute focus blocks with frequent 3-minute breaks. • Zero setup friction — no signup, no account, no email. Open the app, hit start. • Your data stays yours — session stats live on-device, never uploaded. FEATURES • Pomodoro timer with adjustable focus / short break / long break • Flowtime — open-ended count-up focus sessions (Plus) • Focus Shield — session-scoped app blocking via Screen Time (Plus) • ADHD mode — 15/3-minute preset cycle • Live Activity + Dynamic Island — glance at your progress from the lock screen • Home screen and lock screen widgets • Streaks, weekly bar chart, all-time stats • Ambient focus sounds — lo-fi, brown noise, nature, binaural, classical • Apple Watch companion — run a session from your wrist (Plus) • Background-accurate timer that keeps time when you switch apps or lock FOR WHOM • People with ADHD who bounced off every other productivity app • Students cramming for exams • Designers, writers, developers in flow • Anyone who has ever opened Instagram "for one second" mid-task WHAT MAKES FOCUSFLOW DIFFERENT Every other blocker asks you to shield apps for the entire day and hope your willpower holds. FocusFlow shields only for the length of your session. Blocking turns on when you start, off when the timer ends. That's it. Combined with Flowtime — where the timer counts up instead of down — you get a system that respects real deep-work rhythms instead of forcing you into rigid 25-minute chunks. PRICE The core Pomodoro timer, stats, streaks, widgets, and Live Activity are free forever. FocusFlow Plus adds Focus Shield app blocking, Flowtime open-ended sessions, and the Apple Watch companion. Try Plus with a 7-day free trial. Focus is hard. FocusFlow makes it easier.
