Read full descriptionHide full description
Striva turns focus into measurable consistency. Built around structured 7, 14, 30, and 40-day challenges, Striva helps you commit to a defined period of progress — long enough to see change, short enough to stay fully engaged. You choose one direction. You show up daily. You build a streak. With integrated focus sessions, clean streak tracking, and performance insights, Striva makes your progress visible. Not motivational — measurable. The 40-day philosophy sits at the core: A defined window of consistency creates clarity. Clarity builds confidence. Confidence builds identity. Short challenges create momentum. Longer challenges create proof. Instead of chasing endless habits, Striva helps you go deeper into one commitment at a time — so you can understand what works, build discipline, and move forward with evidence. Minimal design. Clear structure. Real accountability. Striva is not about doing more. It’s about finishing what you start. Visit the site for Apple Terms and Conditions.

Most time trackers are built for billing. Flows is built for understanding your day. Tap a card to start tracking. Tap another to switch. That's it. No projects, no timers to manage, no descriptions to fill in. Create your own flows: broad categories like Deep Work, Meetings, Admin, Resting, whatever matches how you actually spend your time. Flows records it and shows it back to you in a way that makes sense at a glance. Because work isn't just what was on screen. And your day is more than a timesheet. DRIFTING Not every minute gets deliberately assigned. Step away. Forget to tap. Take a break. Lose half an hour. Flows doesn't treat that as a gap or a failure. It becomes Drifting, a built-in flow that quietly catches the time you didn't claim. Move it later if you want. Leave it if it belongs there. Most trackers punish missing time. Flows treats it as part of the day. (One reason it sits well with ADHD brains, and anyone who forgets to tap.) SEE YOUR WHOLE DAY AT ONCE The day-bar is a coloured ribbon showing every minute of your day in the flow it belongs to. No spreadsheets. No reports to decode. Just the shape of the day, visible at a glance. MEET DROPLET Droplet is the small companion who lives in your timeline. No dashboards to read — Droplet notices the shape of your week and reflects it back in a sentence or two: which flows carried the days, when the drifting clustered, how the rhythm moved. Curious about something? Just ask. Ask Droplet answers from your own tracked time — "how much did I flow this week?", "where did my time go?" — in plain, warm language. Never a score. Never advice you didn't ask for. REFLECTIONS Zoom out to a week or a month and Flows shows its shape at a glance: a simple bar for each day, your flows laid out by rhythm, and a short reflection up top. Not "was this a good week?" Just "what kind of week was this?" FIX THINGS WITHOUT BREAKING ANYTHING Forgot to switch? Long-press a flow card to move time from one flow to another after the fact. Long-press any segment in the day-bar to see its history: what it was, what changed, and how it got there. Nothing is destructive. Corrections add clarity, they don't erase the past. FEATURES * One-tap tracking. Start and switch instantly. * Drifting. Built-in time for the moments you didn't claim. * The day-bar. See your whole day as a single timeline. * Droplet, a companion who reflects your week back to you. * Ask Droplet questions about your own time, in plain language. * Weekly and monthly Reflections that show the shape of your time. * Move time between flows after the fact. * Per-segment history and corrections. * Bridges. Flows asks what to do with gaps in your day. * A grace period for accidental taps. * No streaks. No guilt. Nothing to maintain. Ask Droplet and AI-written reflections need a device that supports Apple Intelligence. Everything else works on any supported device. WHAT FLOWS IS NOT * Not a productivity scoreboard. * Not a focus app that locks you out of things. * Not a billing tool with clients, invoices and hourly rates. * Not an automatic activity logger watching your screen. Flows is for people who finish the day and wonder where it went. A calmer way to track your time. Time flows. Know where.
