Activity Scheduler: FocusFlow is a visual activity scheduler and ADHD planner for days when a long to-do list only adds pressure. Empty your head first, then turn the noise into a day you can actually start, with a Pomodoro timer for the task in front of you. Give every task a start time and a duration. The activity scheduler lays your day out on a timeline, reminds you before each task begins and warns you before the day overflows. When it is time to work, the Pomodoro timer starts from the task you picked, so you do not have to decide again. WHAT THE ACTIVITY SCHEDULER DOES • Brain dump first, sort later: the ADHD planner keeps one clear next step • Visual time blocks instead of an endless list • Reminders before each task starts • Import Apple Reminders and calendar events • Recurring tasks for daily, weekday and weekly routines • Pomodoro timer with 25/5 sessions, a 15-minute soft start and Live Activity on the Lock Screen • Focus minutes, completed tasks, daily load and streaks • Home Screen widget and Siri shortcuts A GENTLER WAY TO KEEP GOING A small sprout grows with every focus session, and a gentle streak counts the days you showed up. At the end of the day, you decide what moves to tomorrow, without guilt. That is how an ADHD planner should feel. FocusFlow Pro adds unlimited tasks per day, AI planning that builds and replans your day, Deep Work and Study presets for the focus timer, and deeper reviews. Your plan stays on your device, with optional iCloud backup and no account. Less pressure than a to-do list, more structure than a blank page: an activity scheduler you will actually open tomorrow. Activity Scheduler: FocusFlow is a productivity tool, not a medical or diagnostic app. Privacy Policy: https://solvalex.com/en/legal/apps/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

They also show how much of that planned time belongs to completed plans. • Use day-end review to decide what is complete and what carries over (Premium). ■ 1–60 minute focus timer For focused work or study, set a single countdown from 1 to 60 minutes. • It keeps the remaining time visible and notifies you when the countdown ends. ■ Widgets and Apple Watch Home Screen widgets show the clock, upcoming plans, and unscheduled tasks, with completion controls for supported items. • StandBy is supported. • A running focus timer appears as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. • On Apple Watch, view today’s schedule arcs and plan details, use the focus timer, and add a complication. ■ Calendar and iCloud On iPhone and iPad, overlay events from the device calendar and, with Premium, export selected Arcora plans to a calendar you choose. • If you enable iCloud sync, plans, inbox tasks, cards, routines, settings, and other Arcora data sync between devices using the same Apple ID; updates may take time. • Plan data stays on the device and, when sync is enabled, in your iCloud. • Calendar export writes selected plans to the chosen calendar. ■ Make the view yours Choose the clock and display that work for you. • 11 color themes and 6 clock designs. • VoiceOver support. • 12-hour and 24-hour time. • Japanese, Buddhist, and Minguo calendars. ■ For visual planning Arcora may also suit people with ADHD who prefer to see plans and time allocation visually.
