FocusFlow shields only for the length of your session. Blocking turns on when you start, off when the timer ends. That's it. Combined with Flowtime ā where the timer counts up instead of down ā you get a system that respects real deep-work rhythms instead of forcing you into rigid 25-minute chunks. PRICE The core Pomodoro timer, stats, streaks, widgets, and Live Activity are free forever. FocusFlow Plus adds Focus Shield app blocking, Flowtime open-ended sessions, and the Apple Watch companion. Try Plus with a 7-day free trial. Focus is hard. FocusFlow makes it easier.
