Focus, your way. Flowtime is a flexible, friction-free focus timer and time tracker designed around a simple idea: starting should be easy, and your timer should adapt to how you focus. Start with one tap. Choose how you want to focus. Stay aware of passing time without constantly watching the clock. When you’re done, see where your time went and celebrate the milestones along the way. FOCUS WITHOUT RIGID RULES Not every task fits into a 25-minute timer. Use a simple timer, Pomodoro, Flowmodoro, or your own custom setup. Flowtime gives you structure when you want it without forcing every focus session into the same routine. STAY AWARE OF TIME Deep in a task and suddenly an hour has passed? Gentle reminders help you notice passing time without automatically ending your session. They’re useful for deep work, long creative sessions, hyperfocus, and time blindness. REDUCE DISTRACTIONS App Shielding helps keep distracting apps out of reach while you focus. When you deliberately choose to open one, Flowtime adds a moment of friction before you continue. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Your sessions become a record of how you spend your focus time. Explore your history, filter your statistics, organise sessions into projects, and discover your own patterns. CELEBRATE YOUR PROGRESS Unlock achievements as you use Flowtime and reach new focus milestones. Achievements are designed to celebrate progress without turning focus into a streak you have to maintain. Share the achievements you’re proud of, or simply keep them for yourself. BUILT FOR LESS FRICTION • One-tap focus timer • Pomodoro and Flowmodoro • Custom timer setups • Time-awareness reminders • App Shielding • Projects • Session history • Focus statistics and filters • Shareable achievements • Light and dark themes • Custom accent colours USE IT YOUR WAY Flowtime can be a work timer, study timer, deep-work companion, time tracker, Pomodoro alternative, or simply a way to make passing time easier to notice. Its time-awareness tools can also be useful for experiences such as hyperfocus and ADHD time blindness, without defining how or why you use the app. No account. No complicated productivity system between you and what you want to do. Open Flowtime. Start. Focus your way.

Glued to your chair through back-to-back meetings? Stiff, sluggish, or sore from sitting for hours? Here is the thing: the problem is not sitting, it is UNINTERRUPTED sitting. StandCue is the calendar-smart movement app for desk workers, remote teams, and anyone who means to move more but forgets. Most stand reminders are dumb timers. They buzz every 30 minutes whether you are mid-meeting, deep in focus, or already on your feet. So you mute them, then you delete them. StandCue is different. It reads your calendar and plans your movement around the day ahead, so every nudge lands at a moment that actually works. PREDICTIVE, NOT REACTIVE - A gap between meetings? A nudge to stand up and move. - A call where standing is free? It suggests taking that one on your feet. - Head-down in a focus block? It stays silent. The app earns the right to interrupt you. - Lunch coming up? A gentle "step outside for some air." WHY IT WORKS The research is clear: break up your sitting every 30 to 60 minutes. A short walk does more than simply standing, and it is the variety that counts, not a desk that goes up and down. StandCue builds that rhythm into your real day. A LIGHT GAME, NOT A FITNESS TRACKER Every move earns momentum and extends your streak. No step charts, no calorie goals, no guilt. Just a satisfying loop that makes moving feel like a win. FOCUS WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS Work in focused blocks with the built-in timer. Great for deep work and for ADHD. StandCue goes completely quiet while you focus, then nudges you to move on your break. EASE THE ACHES OF LONG SITTING Regular movement helps with the stiffness, the slouch, and the lower-back ache of a sedentary day. A good fit for RSI-prone desk and remote workers. ON YOUR WRIST A full watch app plus a Tile and a watch-face complication: your momentum ring and the next cue, a glance from your wrist. SILENT VERIFICATION With Apple Health, StandCue can quietly confirm you actually moved and score it for you, without extra taps. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your calendar and health data never leave your iPhone. Everything runs on device. ELEVEN LANGUAGES Fully localized, with calendar detection tuned to each language. TRY IT FREE Start with a 14-day free trial, every feature unlocked. After that, a single one-time purchase keeps StandCue yours forever. No subscription, ever. Move on time.
