FLOW STATE ISN'T LUCK. IT'S ONE TAP AWAY. Athletes enter the zone in seconds. So can you. Most focus apps give you 47 settings to choose from. That's the problem. Your ADHD brain can't decide - so you never start. Flow State has ONE button. That's it. Tap once -> 90 minutes of unstoppable focus → Done. No choices. No paralysis. Just peak performance. ----------------- WHY FLOW STATE WORKS -> ONE TAP to enter deep work (no decisions, no drop-off) -> 90-MINUTE sessions (science-backed, Huberman protocol) -> ZERO SETTINGS (built for ADHD brains that overthink) -> SOUNDSCAPES + BODY DOUBLING AUDIO (brown noise + ambient work sounds) -> 2 SESSIONS PER DAY MAX (scarcity = you protect what's rare) ----------------- YOU'RE NOT LAZY. YOU'RE JUST USING THE WRONG TOOLS. Traditional productivity apps are built for neurotypical brains. Endless options. Complex systems. Decision fatigue before you even start. Flow State is different. It's built for high-performers with ADHD who need to ELIMINATE friction, not add more. One tap. The timer starts. Your phone locks. The soundscape plays. You work. That's it. ----------------- WHAT USERS SAY "I've tried 10+ focus apps. This is the only one I actually USE." "Finally - an app that doesn't make me choose between 47 timer options." "90 minutes feels impossible until you do it once. Then you're hooked." ----------------- THE SCIENCE - 90 minutes = your brain's natural ultradian rhythm (neuroscience-backed) - Flow state requires 15-20 min to enter (that's why Pomodoro's 25 min doesn't work) - ADHD brains excel in flow - they just need the right environment Flow State creates that environment in one tap. ----------------- WHAT YOU GET - One-tap flow sessions (25, 50, or 90 minutes) - Soundscapes engineered for focus (brown noise, body doubling audio) - Session tracking ("17 elite sessions protected") - Zero distractions (phone dims, notifications silenced) - Micro-celebrations every 15 min (your ADHD brain needs wins) ----------------- WHO THIS IS FOR -> ADHD brains tired of apps with 47 settings -> Founders, creatives, students who procrastinate -> Anyone who's ever spent 3 hours "about to start" -> People who know they're capable of greatness—if they could just FOCUS ----------------- STOP RESEARCHING PRODUCTIVITY METHODS. START DOING THE WORK. Download Flow State. Tap once. Lock in for 90 minutes. That's how champions are built. ----------------- Disclaimers: This app is not intended to provide any medical guidance or advice.

Campfire is a simple 30-minute focus timer. It is intentionally designed to keep you present. The session continues while your phone is locked, but ends if you leave the app. Tap to light a campfire. Stay with the app or lock your screen. You'll hear a bell when the fire goes out and the session ends. We don’t track you. That’s our Privacy Policy in a nutshell. - No ads - No accounts - No tracking - No data collected - No third-party analytics - Data stays on device If Campfire feels useful, you can choose to support its continued development. If not, that’s perfectly okay too. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
