Flowti: A gentler way to focus, designed for ADHD minds. Tired of timers that feel like a judge? Flowti is a judgment-free focus companion built for neurodivergent brains and anyone who struggles with attention. Instead of just counting down seconds, it shows time flowing as a calming visual arc: making abstract time feel tangible, reducing anxiety, and helping you stay on track. Why Flowti works for ADHD: • Visual Time Arc: Watch time progress as a soft animated ring, not just stressful numbers. ADHD brains process visuals better, making it easier to sense how much time remains without constantly checking. • Gentle Distraction Tracking: Mind wandered? Tap the distraction button anytime. Flowti logs it with kind feedback ("That's okay, let's keep going"): zero guilt, just gentle awareness. No shaming, no productivity scoring. • Structured Breaks That Actually Reset You: After each focus session, get specific rest suggestions instead of mindless phone-scrolling. Choose quick 5-minute sprints, classic Pomodoro (25/5), or custom durations that match your rhythm. • "Start with 5 Minutes" Button: Overcoming activation energy is hard. One tap starts a 5-minute session: the lowest possible barrier to begin, perfect for ADHD brains that struggle with task initiation. • Home Screen Widget: See today's pomodoros and streak at a glance, tap to instantly start focusing. • Focus Sounds: Rain, ocean waves, and brown noise built in — settle into deep focus without reaching for another app. • Mood, Notes & Achievements: After each session, mark how you felt with a simple emoji and jot down a quick note. Earn gentle achievements as your focus habit grows. Look back later to see what you were working on and when you feel most focused. • Focus History & Insights: See your patterns: when you focus best, common distraction triggers, your streak of consistent days. Data for self-understanding, not self-criticism. • ADHD-Friendly Design: Low-saturation calming colors, optional reduced animations, 3-second countdown, subtle haptics, dark mode, zero flashing elements. Perfect for: - Adults and teens with ADHD or ADD - Students preparing for exams - Remote workers and knowledge workers - Anyone practicing the Pomodoro Technique - People who want kinder productivity tools - Neurodivergent folks (autistic, ADHD, dyslexic) Flowti Pro: Upgrade once, unlock forever: - Custom focus/break durations and presets - Data export (CSV) - Unlimited task categories - All future Pro features included No subscriptions. No ads. No analytics tracking you. Your data stays on your device, private and yours. Download Flowti and discover a calmer way to get things done: one gentle focus sprint at a time.

You know what you need to do. You just can't start. Kindling Spark helps you begin when your brain won't cooperate. Most productivity apps overwhelm you with lists, plans, and schedules. Kindling Spark does the opposite. It shows you one thing to do right now, based on your current energy level. No decision fatigue. No endless to-do lists. Just a clear starting point. Kindling Spark isn't a planner. It isn't a calendar. It's a launcher. --- One task. Right now. Open the app, tap how you're feeling — Low, Medium, or High energy — and Kindling Spark suggests a single task that fits that moment. When your brain feels stuck, the solution isn't better planning. It's smaller beginnings. --- When you can't start, start smaller Tap "I can't start" and the Dopamine Menu offers a tiny, achievable win: • Drink a glass of water • Send a quick text • Do 10 jumping jacks These aren't distractions. They're momentum builders. Small wins help your brain shift from stuck to moving. --- Break anything into steps Every task can be decomposed into small, concrete actions you can finish in 1-5 minutes. The built-in AI task breaker — powered by on-device Apple Intelligence — turns any task into steps matched to your current energy level. No data leaves your device. Low energy might start with: • Open laptop • Open document Higher energy gets larger chunks so you can maintain momentum. The first step is always ridiculously easy. --- Focus that flexes with your brain Choose the session style that fits the moment: Sprint A simple 15-minute countdown to help you get started. Flow Open-ended work with gentle break nudges. Marathon Long sessions (2+ hours) with structured breaks every 45 minutes. Break reminders are suggested, never forced. Nudges escalate gently — a haptic tap, then an on-screen suggestion, then a subtle dim overlay. Your choice is always respected. --- Breaks that actually help Suggested breaks include: • Guided breathing exercises • Simple stretches • Grounding techniques • Short movement prompts Over time, the app learns which ones work best for you and adapts accordingly. --- Celebrate every win Every completed step, task, and quick win triggers a satisfying reward — haptic feedback and a confetti animation. ADHD brains respond strongly to immediate rewards, and Kindling Spark reinforces progress consistently. --- No streaks. No guilt. You will never see a streak counter. Instead you'll see insights like: "You used Kindling Spark 14 of the last 20 days." If you haven't opened the app in a while, you'll see: Welcome back. Never guilt. Never shame. --- Built for privacy Everything stays on your device. • AI runs entirely on-device • Voice input uses on-device speech recognition • No accounts • No cloud storage • No tracking Your tasks remain completely private. --- Also includes • Voice task capture with on-device speech recognition • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets showing your next task • Live Activity on Dynamic Island during focus sessions • Customizable Dopamine Menu with your own quick wins • Confetti celebrations and daily reminder notifications • Full accessibility support including VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion --- Kindling Spark isn't another productivity app that makes you feel bad about what you haven't done. It's the one that helps you do the next thing.
