Only for Mac

Mac

A focus coach, not a blocker. Choose your work apps, see when you drift, get gentle nudges, and learn from every session — all privately on your Mac. StayInFlow is a privacy-first focus tracker for Mac that helps you stay focused without blocking apps. Choose which apps count as work, start a session, and see when you’re in flow, drifting, or paused. FOCUS COACH, NOT A BLOCKER Create Flow Sets for the way you work — Development, Writing, Design, Administration, or anything else. Apps in your Flow Set count as focus. Everything else counts as drift after a short grace period. Nothing is ever blocked. SEE FOCUS IN REAL TIME StayInFlow lives in your menu bar. The bolt changes with your session state, while the popover shows elapsed time, flow rate, drift time, drift count, and your current app. GET A GENTLE NUDGE Set your own Focus Alert limits. If your attention wanders too long or too often, StayInFlow can show a full-screen refocus reminder or a standard macOS notification. You decide the thresholds, logic, repeats, and cooldown. ONLY REAL FOCUS TIME COUNTS Sleep, screen lock, idle time, and manual pauses are excluded automatically. Paused time never inflates your focus rate or session totals. DEBRIEF EVERY SESSION When you stop, get a clear summary with flow rate, flow time, drift count, longest focus streak, drift apps, and coaching for next time. SPOT PATTERNS OVER TIME Explore analytics for your focus and drift time, top distractions, streaks, best hours, session trends, and recurring patterns across your work. BUILT INTO macOS • Menu bar status and live session controls • Desktop widgets, including Start/Stop • Daily flow goals • Global keyboard shortcuts • Focus mode integration • Shortcuts, Siri, and Spotlight actions • Searchable session history • CSV export for sessions and drift events PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your focus data never leaves your Mac. StayInFlow stores only app names, bundle identifiers, and timestamps locally — never window titles, keystrokes, or content. • No account • No cloud • No telemetry • No Screen Recording access • No Accessibility access ONE-TIME PURCHASE No subscription. Buy StayInFlow once and keep using it. Stay focused. Notice the drift. Learn how you work.
