Flowback is a focus companion for Android that helps you return to what matters, without shame, guilt, or a strict lockdown.
Start a focus session with a goal and a duration. Flowback quietly watches for when you open apps you've marked as distracting, and tracks how long you're away. If you drift for a while, it shows a short, supportive reminder, never a lecture, and lets you decide when to come back.
WHY FLOWBACK IS DIFFERENT
Most app blockers punish you for opening a distracting app. Flowback doesn't. Switching between distracting apps, brief interruptions, and screen-off time are all handled fairly, so only genuine time away from your goal counts. The moment you return to Flowback is what counts as getting back on track, not just closing an app.
FEATURES
- Set a goal and a focus duration, then start a session
- Choose exactly which apps count as distracting; nothing else is touched
- Get a calm, positive reminder if you drift, with no shame-based language

- Review your last 7 days of focus time, distraction time, and how quickly you return
- Light and dark themes
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Your goals, session history, and app selections stay on your device. Flowback only needs Usage Access to notice which app is in the foreground during a session, and an optional overlay permission to show reminders. Neither is required to use the core focus timer.
FREE, WITH OPTIONAL PREMIUM
Unlimited focus sessions, distracting-app selection, and rescue reminders are free, always. Premium adds a closer look at your history: daily trends, return-to-focus insights, and more session history.
Flowback is built to feel like a friend that wants you to finish your goal, not a strict parental blocker.
Focus timer that gently guides you back when distracting apps pull you away.
