Popping over from the Shimmer ADHD Body Doubling launch to say that this looks amazing! I have downloaded it already to see how it might serve some of my clients!
It's great to see an app that not only helps with focus but also adds value to idle moments. The AI-powered flashcards are a clever addition. I can see this being really useful for anyone looking to improve their time management.
I love every app open into a chance to learn. It’s an innovative way to make screen time more productive. I’m definitely going to give it a go and see how it helps me stay on track.
I’m curious about how well the blocklist customization works. Is it easy to set up and adjust as needed?

I’ve been struggling with staying focused lately, and this tool seems like a great solution. Blocking distracting apps and turning downtime into learning opportunities is a good thing for me!
I actually would enjoy studying this way. Really a way to hack the procrastination. Congrats on the launch!
The idea of turning every app open into a learning sessions is clever hope the times unblocking feature works smoothly
Perhaps adding a feature to track progress on learning sessions could be beneficial
This tool’s approach to reducing screen time and improving focus is refreshing thanks for sharing this!
Interesting idea! How does FlowBuddy determine which apps are considered distracting? Is there a default list, or can users customize which apps to block and when to unblock them for intentional use?
I get how it could help with focus, but I’m wondering if it could get overwhelming with too many features packed into one app.
I think the idea of combining flow state with task management is interesting. Does it adapt based on my daily productivity levels?
I’ve been looking for something like this to stay on top of my tasks excited to give it a go!
