“25:00”
The countdown is a threat
Watching digits fall spikes your heart rate before you have typed a word. So the digits are gone — the screen itself empties instead.
Countdowns raise your heart rate and clocks go invisible. Focus Flow turns your block into a wall of red that drains down the whole screen. You feel the time without ever reading it.
Every one of these is an ordinary ADHD experience. Every one has a mechanic in the app built for it.
Watching digits fall spikes your heart rate before you have typed a word. So the digits are gone — the screen itself empties instead.
You finally got in and a chime says stop. Ride the Wave adds another 20 minutes on one tap, as many times as you're still in it.
“The Q3 deck” has no first move. Task Sizer cuts it into steps small enough to be embarrassing, and marks the one that's next.
You didn't decide to scroll. Drift Interceptor covers the app you reached for with a screen that stays until the block ends.
No project to name, no category to pick. The home screen is one button and three presets you set during onboarding — 15, 25 and 50 minutes by default.
The whole screen is the timer. Glance up, read the level, get back to work. Nothing to calculate.
Block over? Leave yourself the next literal step on the Launchpad and take five. Still in it? Ride the Wave. Out of steam at minute nine? Say so and stop.
need to reply to Sarah about the vendor contract, also that bug ticket from yesterday is still unassigned, standup notes never got sent out, and I should book the conference room before someone else grabs it for Friday's client call, oh and expense report is due end of week
Type it or hold the mic and talk. Park the whole pile for later, or hand it to Task Sizer and start on step one. Structuring runs on a server, so that part needs a connection — the timer, your steps and your history don't.
A wall of red drains from top to bottom across your whole display. Peripheral vision reads it; you never do arithmetic.
One tap adds 20 more minutes, again and again. The bell never gets to interrupt the good part. Pro lets you change how long a wave adds.
Give it the thing you keep avoiding. It comes back as a checklist with the first step marked up next, and each step can become its own block. Three breakdowns free, then Pro.
Empty your head into one box, by voice if talking is easier. Park it and move on, or have it structured into steps on Pro.
Before each break you write the next literal step. Coming back, that sentence fills a red screen. No re-reading to find your place.
Pick your worst offenders. Reach for one mid-block and a full-screen stop covers it until the block ends.
A vibration tick keeps you anchored in the block without a sound that yanks you out of it.
A block on your home screen that empties as the session runs. Tap it to drop back into the running block, or to open the app when nothing is running.
Minutes, sessions and why blocks ended, rolled into the times of day your brain actually cooperates. Pro opens the full history and CSV export.
Most of the time you don't need the app open. You need to know, in half a second, whether you are still inside the block. The widget's level answers that from across the room.
Other apps punish you for stopping, so you learn to avoid the app instead of the distraction. Focus Flow asks why in one tap, with six answers and no wrong one. That tap is what teaches it your real pattern.
A few weeks in it can show you that you finish work in the morning and hit walls after 3pm. That is worth more than a streak counter.
Free shows you the last seven days. Pro opens the whole history and exports it as CSV, and a Friday evening recap sums the week up for you.
Install from Google Play and the timer, the blob, the waves, the Launchpad, the widget and your first three Task Sizer breakdowns are yours without paying anything.
Pro is an in-app upgrade with monthly, annual and one-time options — you'll see the plans and prices inside the app, where Google Play handles the payment. No checkout here, no email capture, no account required either way.

Android. Already bought Pro? Settings → Unlock Focus Flow Pro → Restore.
No. It is built around time blindness, task initiation and drift, which plenty of people deal with without a diagnosis.
Yes. The timer, blocking, Launchpad and history are all on the device. Splitting a task into steps is the one part that calls a server — with no connection it falls back to a rough split done on the phone, so you still get a list, just a blunter one.
No, and there is nothing to sign into. Focus Flow has no accounts and no server profile — your blocks, steps and settings live on the phone. A purchase is tied to your Google Play account, so restoring it on a new phone goes through Play.
Sessions, thoughts and steps live in a database on your phone. Text you send to Task Sizer goes to the server that structures it; crash reports and purchases go to Google and RevenueCat. Uninstalling takes the local history with it.
It covers the app you reached for until the block ends, using Android's overlay and usage permissions. That cover screen is the one place a clock appears — it tells you how long is left rather than leaving you guessing. You can always end the block itself in one tap, then use anything you like.
Then you stop after nine minutes. Pick one of six reasons, take no penalty. Nine honest minutes is data; an abandoned streak is not.
Not yet. Focus Flow is on Android today.
Only as much as you allow. Reminders have four settings — off, once, escalating or repeating — and the weekly recap can be switched off entirely.
