24 alternatives to FlowTime - Focus Timer

Hi HN, I built FlowTime. I love Pomodoro but often hit peak focus around minute 25; the fixed break emptied my working memory and I lost the thread. FlowTime lets you work as long as you’re in flow, then take a break equal to 20% of the focus time. One-tap Work → Next Break, task-linked tracking, and a day/week/month/year stats dashboard. Tech: Next.js + TypeScript; data is local-only (no signup). Known limits: single-device data; sync may come later. Would love feedback on: edge cases, UX flow, and what would make this truly useful for creative/deep work.

    The problem with classical Pomodoro is that we often finish our work early or the task takes longer than 25 minutes, resulting in interruptions by the alarm. Flowmodor addresses this by offering flexibility: work x minutes, take x/5 minutes break. Flowmodor automatically calculate and set break timer for you based on your work duration. In this way you can stay in the flow state while maintaining the 5:1 work-break ratio.

    Hi HN, I made FlowTracks – a time tracker that shows how consistent you really are. I’ve tried a bunch of productivity tools: Pomodoro timers, TODO apps, time logs. They helped me focus or stay organized short-term — but none of them gave me a clear picture of how consistent I was over time. I wanted to know: - Which days I drift off - Whether I was improving week over week - When exactly my focus dropped during the day So I built FlowTracks. Originally it was just a tool for myself. But after using it daily for a few months, I realized it might help others too — so I put up a landing page…
