Flowtime For Linux

There are tons of small Pomodoro apps out there. Some are highly customizable, some are super fancy looking, while others simply respect the original Pomodoro technique.

Flowtime is very similar to those apps, but it employs another popular productivity technique, namely the Flowtime technique. It's a break/work calculator that's all about one thing: ensuring that your flow doesn't get interrupted.

The original Pomodoro technique is especially efficient when it comes to tedious tasks, but we're sure you can agree that there's nothing more annoying than being forced to take a break while you're in that sweet flow state.

Flowtime allows you to work as much as you want, all while ensuring that you also take appropriate breaks. How?, you may ask. In short, your time spent working is divided by 5. For example, if you worked for 50 minutes, you'll get a 10-minute break, if you work for 2 hours, you get 24-minute break.

Flowtime might not be for everyone, as some people need a basic structure in order to work efficiently. However, there's one extra cool trick that Flowtime has, and most other Pomodoro-like apps don't and that's work and break statistics.

But wait, there's more

This could prove especially useful if you're the type of person who likes to review how much time you've spent working on something and how many breaks you actually took.

Other nifty features include the ability to export your statistics to CSV, customize the tones for the end of the break, and system-wide notifications for the end-of-break alerts.

To conclude, Flowtime is a very nice app for those who are a fan of the Flowtime technique. The app delivers on so many levels since it allows you to measure your focus and understand your productivity habbits.

It's an app focused more on singular tasks rather than multitasking, and the whole point of the app is to allow you to stay focused on a single task for as long as you need to.
