Read full description

Finally, a focus app that gets ADHD. FocusFlow is a calm planner and focus timer built for ADHD brains. No streaks to break and no guilt. Just small steps, a friendly companion, and progress that never resets. MEET FLO Flo is your focus buddy. Start a session and Flo co-works quietly beside you, checks in gently, and keeps the next tiny step in view. It's body doubling, without needing another person in the room. BIG TASKS, MADE SMALL "Clean the apartment" is a wall. "Put on one song you like" is a start. FocusFlow breaks any task into tiny steps with time estimates and shows you exactly where to begin. PICK WHAT MATTERS TODAY Choose up to three things for today. Small and finished beats big and stuck. Not sure where to start? Get a suggestion that fits your energy. GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD Racing thoughts? Type everything into Brain dump, one thought per line. FocusFlow sorts it into urgent, to-dos, ideas for later, and feelings worth acknowledging, then adds the tasks you choose in one tap. STUCK? TALK IT THROUGH Tell Help me start what's in the way, in your own words. You'll get one tiny step you can take in the next two minutes, not a lecture. TIME YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE The focus timer shows a dial that drains as time passes, so time feels real. Adjust it in five-minute steps, and see how long things really take compared with your guess. EVERY WIN COUNTS. STREAKS DON'T. You earn points for showing up and finishing things. Off days cost a little, never everything, and coming back earns a bonus. Watch your tree grow from Seedling to Sprout, Sapling and beyond. GENTLE REMINDERS Reminders tell you what's coming up, with Snooze and Mark done right on the notification. Turn on a daily check-in to pick your focus each morning. Repeat tasks daily, on weekdays, weekly or monthly. ALSO INSIDE • An "I'm overwhelmed" button with a breathing exercise • Ambient sounds: lo-fi, rain, forest, fireplace and ocean • A prep-time calculator so you leave on time • Focus history with planned vs. actual time • Dark mode • No ads and no account needed YOUR DATA Your tasks are stored on your device. When you use an AI helper (task breakdown, Brain dump sorting, suggestions or Help me start), only the text you send to it is processed on our server. FOCUSFLOW PLUS FocusFlow is free to use. The free plan includes one use of each AI helper per day and the lo-fi sound. FocusFlow Plus gives you unlimited Help me start, task breakdowns, Brain dump sorting and suggestions, plus every ambient sound. Choose a monthly or yearly plan.
