Tell FlowState what kind of brain showed up today. It'll show you the tasks that fit. Built for ADHD brains β€” and anyone whose focus comes and goes β€” FlowState matches your to-do list to your current energy. Scattered, steady, locked, or foggy. The tasks that fit surface. The ones that don't get out of the way. ENERGY-MATCHED TASKS Pick the level of focus you actually have. Low-focus surfaces errands and emails. High-focus brings the deep work forward. Foggy days hide the list entirely and offer one gentle action β€” because some days, that's the win. BRAIN-DUMP TO TASKS Paste a wall of "I need to…" and FlowState rewrites it into clean, action-oriented tasks. It drops the filler ("I have to", "remember to"), starts each title with a verb, and tags an energy level so you know when to do it. RIGHT-SIZED FOCUS TIMER 5 minutes when scattered. 25 when steady. No cap when locked in. The timer follows you out of the app via Live Activity and Lock Screen widgets, so the session stays alive even when your attention doesn't. ROUTINES THAT KNOW THEIR PLACE Morning, midday, or evening routines with optional reminders. They show up where they belong instead of nagging from a separate tab. CALENDAR ALONGSIDE TASKS Read your iOS calendar so events and tasks live side by side. Calendar content never leaves your device. PARK WITHOUT SHAME Brain hijack mid-session? Park the task. Come back when you're ready. No streak to defend, no chain to break. CALM BY DESIGN No streaks. No badges. No daily score. No green ticks judging you for the day you missed. The only celebration is the quiet one when you finish a task.

About

LifeOS

Read full description

LifeOS is an AI-powered daily life app designed as an intelligent system that helps you plan, execute, and track everything from tasks to meals or finances. Instead of switching between separate, individual apps that only focus on one area, LifeOS brings the key parts of your day into one complete system. The AI Agenda helps you plan tasks and events with more context, including locations, preparation steps, and transport time, so your schedule feels realistic instead of just listed. Nutrition lets you track meals using AI meal scanning, estimate calories, and get practical portion guidance through plate-building tools. Finance helps you track your spending across accounts and spending categories, giving you a clearer view of where your money is going. Debrief lets you capture quick or detailed daily reflections as you desire, and Patterns analyses them to establish useful trends about your habits, routines, and decisions. You can also connect with friends to share meals, events, and calendars, making LifeOS useful not just for individual planning, but for coordinating parts of daily life with others. LifeOS is built for people who want one simple, intelligent place to manage their day - without turning life into a spreadsheet.
