Get more done with ease and joy

Most apps try to force focus through timers, website blockers, or tracking. Flowcus works with your emotions instead of against them. It sits with you during work sessions, notices when you're stuck (anxious, overwhelmed, perfectionist spiraling), and guides you through targeted experiments to get unstuck. Over time, you build a personal playbook of what actually works for your specific patterns.

Flowcus grew out of dozens of real coaching sessions where I helped people work through resistance in real time. It's trained specifically on methods that work for focus blocks - no prompt engineering needed. More importantly, it tracks your patterns: when you get stuck, what works for you, your energy patterns, distraction triggers. ChatGPT starts fresh every conversation; Flowcus learns what makes you tick.

Actually, it reduces complexity. Instead of you having to remember and choose from hundreds of focus strategies, Flowcus suggests what to try based on how you're feeling right now. Sessions start with one click, check-ins take seconds, and reflection happens during breaks you'd take anyway. It's designed to feel like having a patient coach, not another productivity system to manage.

Fair question. Flowcus is different because it's not asking you to change your entire workflow or stick to rigid systems. It meets you where you are emotionally and helps you understand why you get stuck, not just what to do about it. People stick with it because it actually feels helpful in the moment, not like homework.

Not at all. Flowcus uses therapeutic modalities like Internal Family Systems, somatic work, CBT, and ACT, but it handles the 'first layer' of emotional processing - the everyday stuff like 'I'm overwhelmed by this project' or 'I keep avoiding this email.' For deeper patterns, complex trauma, or clinical needs, you still want human support. Think of it as emotional first aid for work blocks using proven methods, not deep therapeutic work.

Yes! Our approach draws from Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness research, and neuroscience studies on attention and motivation. Each experiment is grounded in evidence-based practices that have been shown to improve self-regulation and focus.

Flowcus was designed with ADHD tendencies in mind. It's built around self-compassion rather than discipline, helps you understand your unique patterns without shame, and offers experiments rather than rigid rules. Many strategies come from ADHD research. It won't replace medication or professional support, but it can help you work with your brain, not against it.

Focus experiments are specific interventions drawn from psychology, neuroscience, and real-world coaching. When you're stuck, Flowcus might suggest parts work exercises to understand internal resistance, breathwork to regulate your nervous system, physical interventions to shift your energy, motivation alignment exercises to reconnect with your 'why,' silly playful tricks to break perfectionism, or journaling questions to get clarity. They're called experiments because what works is deeply personal - maybe breathwork calms you while movement energizes your friend. You try different approaches, notice what helps, and Flowcus builds your personalized toolkit over time.

Many people notice something shift in their first session - often just from having their feelings acknowledged without judgment. Building lasting patterns takes 2-4 weeks of regular use, but even early on you'll start noticing your patterns more clearly, which is half the battle.

If you're already crushing your goals with discipline and willpower, you probably don't need this. Flowcus is for people who know they're capable but keep getting emotionally derailed. If you prefer pure logic over emotional awareness, or if you're looking for a quick hack rather than understanding yourself better, this isn't the right fit.
