ADHD makes long, 25-minute focus sessions feel impossible โ€” you stall before you even start. HyperFlo flips that. It uses short 15-minute sessions designed for how ADHD brains actually work: low friction to begin, satisfying rewards when you finish, and nothing on screen to pull you away. Start in one tap. No setup, no accounts, no guilt. WHY HYPERFLO WORKS FOR ADHD BRAINS โ€ข Short by default โ€” 15 minutes is long enough to get something done and short enough to actually start. โ€ข One thing at a time โ€” during a session the whole screen becomes the timer. No menus, no notifications, no distractions. โ€ข Dopamine rewards โ€” every completed session ends with a satisfying haptic and a quick reward animation, plus a streak you'll want to keep alive. โ€ข Gentle nudges โ€” subtle haptic taps mark your progress so you stay aware of time without breaking flow. โ€ข Zero friction โ€” tap anywhere to pause, tap to resume. That's the whole interface. BUILT THE RIGHT WAY โ€ข No login and no account required. โ€ข Works completely offline. โ€ข No ads, ever. โ€ข Privacy-first: your sessions stay on your device. We don't collect personal data. PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Upgrade to HyperFlo Premium for unlimited daily sessions, ambient focus sounds (brown noise, white noise, rain), advanced statistics, and a Lock Screen timer. Available as a monthly, annual, or one-time lifetime purchase. The free version gives you everything you need to build the habit. Whether you're studying, working, or just trying to start the one task you've been avoiding all day, HyperFlo helps you begin โ€” and finish. Focus for 15 minutes. That's it.
