Flowton: the "time particle"

Pick a goal, label time spent as Up time or Down time. Improve the ratio.

The story

Flowton is a tool to track Productive vs. Unproductive time. When you have a goal, you want to do more of one thing and less of another. This is often what truly moves the needle. For example, did you spend 4 hours studying yesterday or only 2? Did you spend 5 hours gaming or just 1? This app lets you rethink your whole day as Up time or Down time activities, track them to see where your time really goes, what the ratio is, and where to improve. How it works: - Banked time generates flowtons — a productivity particle that only exists when you measure it. - Run Countdown or Count Up timers to deposit time into your Core, or discard it into the Black Hole. - Productive time builds up orbits around the Core. Unproductive time gets ejected into the Black Hole. Monitor and improve your ratio. - Create boards with a multitude of Cores, find the perfect daily setup to achieve your goals. - Visualize your time history, view stats and set objectives. Features: - Sci-fi gamified time tracking. - Multiple time-keeping tools to help you make it your own. - Finish the day strong and store your Core into your productivity history. - Bank Cores daily or over longer periods - you decide how time works for you. - Maintain a streak to stay on track. - Full offline functionality. - Upgrade to Flowton Prime to create (theme) multiple boards, and view more historic day cells.

Overview

Flowton is a mobile time tracking application that reimagines productivity through a gamified system centered around "flowtons" - units of productive time. Users create customizable timers marked as either "bankable" (contributing to goals) or non-bankable (necessary but non-productive activities), capturing flowtons when timers complete. These flowtons are deposited into "cores," which represent individual goals or objectives, generating visual "orbits" that represent productive days. At day's end, users perform a Core Deposit to archive flowtons into a history bank for long-term progress tracking and analytics. The app is designed for anyone requiring sustained time investment toward personal advancement, including students, skill builders, creators, and developers. Flowton currently operates on iOS with Android support planned for later release.

FAQ

What is Flowton?

Flowton is a hypothetical productivity particle and time tracking system. Flowtons are units of time you bank using advanced tracking technology, directly related to your daily accomplishments. The goal is to maximize productive flowton capture.

How does the time tracking work?

Enable "bankability up" on timers for goal-aligned activities to capture flowtons upon completion. For necessary non-productive activities, use "bankable down" timers. Gradually increase up time while decreasing down time to reach your goals.

What are Cores?

Cores represent your goals or objectives. You define which activities contribute to each core and configure boards so banked time generates orbits representing productive days. Multiple cores can be tracked across single or multiple boards.

How do I track long-term progress?

At day's end, perform a Core Deposit to archive orbiting flowtons into your history bank, where you can review long-term progress, statistics, and identify improvement areas.

What platforms is Flowton available on?

Flowton is currently live globally on iOS. An Android version is in development and will launch later this year.
