THE SITUATION
The world is a hive of distractions, multi-tasking, and cultural ADD. Many sit down to write and watch hours vanish with nothing to show but a trail of browser tabs. Flowstate is a response to the amphetaminic digital age. It frees the writer to turn on, tune in, and open up.
HOW IT WORKS
Choose how long you want to write (5, 15, 30 min), then enter a flow session. If you exit early, or stop typing for longer than five seconds, all progress is lost. The only way to save your work is by writing until the timer ends.
WTF?
Flowstate is guided by a simple philosophy: flow, then react.
What does it feel like to write with pure momentum? What comes out when you hurtle deeper and deeper without pausing to tweak or edit?
For those willing to set aside their preconceptions of how to write, they may find a companion in Flowstate: a single law that silences the analytical brain and amplifies a voice of candor.
TRIPPY
What you have to offer is you. The way out is through.

App
Good app with lots of potential
There are ways to work around the system like copy and pasting - Disabling the copy and pasting feature until after the time limit has passed would help
But if nothing else, it keeps you on your toes and your mind active
Awesomely inspiring
Just a great idea. A brilliant implementation of a strategy to force you (enjoyably) to come at things differently - from left field, however you want to put it - it is simultaneously making you try something different and yet, paradoxically, making you focus completely on what you want to do. No psychoactive substances were harmed during the writing of this review (apart from coffee)
Get ideas and thoughts down very quickly
What a wonderful way to make you work, forcing you to just type!
Love it, it's become my go to to get ideas and thoughts down quickly without time to pause. This brings ideas out, thinking and writing against time, makes you think more quickly, or you will lose your work.
To other reviewers, if you just tap the plus sign there is no time limit to getting your thoughts down.
I bought both OS Mac and iOS within moments of reading reviews, love the dark theme, the font sizing by pinch is awesome.
Can't find options to create Hotkeys and Menubar Access.
I would love to see a "Save Now” option, if you dont reach the time limit, and you have something else pressing, i.e. putting Mac down to do something non related.
I would like more time options to work to, goals of 30 seconds, 1 min etc. That would suit my writing style, smaller goals, get to reach them quicker.
Would love to see a file option so I can organise my drafts.
Would love to see a tag option so drafts can get drilled down.
Would love to see a search option, to find drafts quicker.
Would love to see text widescreen, so text is the complete width of the screen.
I would love all of the above available to MacOS
Thanks again
Hope to see improvements soon, till then I will just keep typing.
