FlowTime is a browser-based focus timer built around the Flowtime method, a flexible alternative to the Pomodoro technique. Instead of fixed 25-minute intervals, users work for as long as their concentration holds and then take a break. The timer counts up during work, and the app calculates a break equal to 20% of the work time.
The product pairs the timer with a task list, a Kanban board and a statistics dashboard that links every session to a task or project. Users sign in with Google so tasks, focus logs and settings sync across devices. Core features are free, with Pro and Premium plans and a one-time Lifetime option adding longer analytics and export.
Users add tasks with the plus button, select one and press Start Focus. The timer turns red during a focus interval and aqua during a break. A single button switches between the two, so there is little friction when changing state. A Pause function keeps time spent away out of both the focus and break totals.
In Kanban mode, a new task creates a Backlog card, and cards can be dragged into Todo or In Progress. Setting a card active hooks it to the timer, and completing a session moves the card forward and stores the log. The app keeps timer state when the tab is inactive and syncs sessions across multiple tabs.
The statistics dashboard shows work and break time by day, week, month and year, with bar charts, a 52-week heatmap and a Daily Timeline that shows when the user was most productive. Stats are meant to exclude breaks, pauses and missing task labels, which keeps focus totals honest. Streak tracking adds a flame badge that counts consecutive days.
A streak day is recorded when one focus session is followed by a break, and users can mark skipped weekdays under Settings so idle days do not break the chain. Google Calendar integration saves completed focus and break sessions as events. Tasks can be edited, switched, completed or deleted while a session runs. Alarms and desktop notifications are covered in the help center.

Pomodoro uses fixed 25-minute sessions and 5-minute breaks. FlowTime has no fixed intervals, so you work until your focus fades and take a break of about 20% of the session length. A 50-minute session is followed by roughly 10 minutes of rest.
