A Pomodoro timer for Mac that makes you want to stick with it
The Pomodoro technique is simple: 25 minutes of work, a 5-minute break, and a longer break every four sessions. Understanding it is easy; sticking to it is the hard part. Flowly is a free Mac app built for exactly that.
Always one click away, in the menu bar
Flowly installs as a real macOS app, signed and notarized by Apple. The timer lives in the menu bar: one click starts a session, even over a full-screen app.
Work and break lengths take seconds to change, and a Focus mode lets you simply count the time spent on a task with no fixed intervals.
A visible reward for every session
Every finished session earns seeds. You spend them to build your own World, which grows with the time you actually focused. It's one more reason not to give up after ten minutes.
Fewer distractions while you work
With Flowly Pro you can block websites and apps during your sessions: YouTube, social media, games… Blocking can turn on automatically as soon as a timer starts.
Statistics then show your focus hours, your records and a six-month heatmap.
Synced with your iPhone
With a free account, your World, sessions and tags sync between your Mac, your Windows PC and your iPhone.
