Do more in less time with 25-minute blocks. Take it one block at a time and surprise yourself with how much you can accomplish.

Inspired by tried and trusted time management techniques. Block & Flow is simple, beautiful and will get your productivity flowing.

FEATURES:
- A 25-minute visual countdown keeps you focussed and avoiding distractions.
- Manage your energy levels with regular breaks
- Measure your day, week and longer by how many blocks you finish.
- Colour code a block for the activities that you do often or care particularly about.
- Goals enable you to be intentional with your time.
- History gives you an understanding of where your time goes.
- A block’s duration can be changed to your ideal time.

WHY IT WORKS:
- It makes it easy to get the day started. Just do your first block.
- Creates an enjoyment and satisfaction as you see all that you get done. See your blocks build up one by one.
- It is clear when to stop. Stop when your block has finished, or after you have done x many blocks for the day.
- Every block that you finish is a small success. As these small successes build-up, your self- belief grows.
- If you keep finishing your blocks. The time will add up to a lot and you will surprise yourself. (We under-estimate what we can do in the long term).

WHO IS IT FOR?
People tell me that they do x many blocks a day, or over a week which is fantastic. A few people have been completing their blocks for a year and more. I imagine someone completing their blocks over a month, a year and ultimately many years. I believe they will grow as a person, stretch themselves, and be surprised with what they are able to learn, create and accomplish. This is what excites me and motivates me to do my best for someone that chooses Block & Flow.

What will you accomplish, one block at a time?

Happy Block & Flowing

Stefan

Pros and cons of Block & Flow: Stay focused app for iPhone and iPad

Block & Flow: Stay focused app good for

Got me through senior year of college! Will continue to use in the workplace. The "pomodoro method" works!
This app is great. It is easy to navigate and easy to keep using. It helps keep me on track, and it also helps keep me from over doing it on days when I forget my limits. It is encouraging to be able to look back on all the work Ive done and my comments along the way. I highly recommend this app for students or for anybody who wants a little help organizing their time.
Really helps keep me focused and to track how much time is spent doing certain things. Would be pretty much perfect if there was the ability to set weekly goals for each block, instead of just a total number of all block for the week.
What I like about the app is that it can be tailored to your needs. You can set up projects and goals or simple daily routines within the block system. Ive already upgraded to the premium version for this reason.
This app is my favorite pomodoro app and Ive tried dozens. I love the elegant design and the graphical representation of your work flow.
I love this app for tracking how much time I spend doing things. Its very useful for seeing how much time I spend on each class for homework. I liked it so much I spent $4 for the full version. However it is disappointing when I return to the app and it loses the block that I was working on. I cant multitask while having a block run because Ill just lose it when I return to the app. If I briefly switch to an app that doesnt require much computing power (yes, I dont know the word for it) the block will probably not go away. It is only when the app restarts that I lose a block. For technical purposes I am using a 5th generation iPod that isnt as fast as newer Apple products. On another note I think the premium user should be able to have unlimited categories, not just up to 12. Im not saying that Ill use 50, but after paying $4 I think the user shouldnt have to worry about running out of category slots. My suggestion is that the number of spaces available be increased, around 24 maybe. I think this is a great app overall but does need some improvements.

Some bad moments

Really wish I could love this app & use it forever! However I cant! You can only adjust the times of breaks and not the work block. I was excited for a simple interface with color coded topics, exactly what I need as an entrepreneur to code my different projects. But that lack of a feature makes it an absolute no go! Sorry!
Block and flow has taught me to manage my time. I really recommend it to others.
Simple Pomodoro app with clean and elegant design. Beats out most of the paid app in this category in my opinion. Much needed tool in an age of distractions. I would like to see more history in terms of range and details (type, comment, and stars for each block). An export would also be appreciated.
I really like this app. Clean design, clearly a labor of love. Which is why Im surprised to see no other reviews... Id love to see integration with Google calendar (Im using this simultaneously as a motivation tool and tracking work hours, and a calendar is essential for me to do that) and the ability to swipe between block categories instead of going to the list. Sometimes the timer stops inexplicably.
I cant believe you dont have any reviews; this app is very well made! Its intuitive and simple, visually very nice with a clean design and just genuinely useful. Ive only been using it for a day but I have to say its great so far and the only thing Id change would be allowing the user to alter the length of a block. (To me 5, 10, 20 and 30 minute blocks make sense. You could size the squares based on the setting on the fly using scale even, then end up with various blocks of different colors and sizes... Im a developer as well
I used to think I was organized until I checked out Block & Flow! Ive become more focused on tasks and noticed Im more productive after reflecting back on each block throughout the day. Definitely recommend!
