A focused workspace for people who want to get meaningful work done.
Deep Flow is a privacy-focused focus timer designed to help you work in uninterrupted sessions, take intentional breaks, and understand where your focused time goes.
No account required. No complicated setup. Just choose how you want to work, start a session, and get into the flow.
Your focus. Your device. Your flow.
Focus Less on the Timer. More on the Work.
Most productivity timers make you constantly think about the timer.
Deep Flow is designed differently.
Once a session starts, the timer can stay out of your way while you work. Live countdowns and playback controls are available through notifications and lock-screen controls, so you don’t have to keep opening the app to check your progress.
Choose a focus interval, pick what you’re working on, start the session, and get back to work.

- Live session countdown
- Pause, resume, skip, and stop controls
- Lock-screen and notification controls
- Automatic focus and break transitions

- Optional mindfulness bells
- Optional soundscapes
- OLED-friendly true black interface
Choose Your Way to Focus
Not every task needs the same amount of time.
Deep Flow gives you several ways to structure your sessions.
25 / 5 Pomodoro
A classic 25-minute focus session followed by a 5-minute break.
Great for getting started, studying, writing, or breaking a large task into manageable blocks.
50 / 10 Split
A longer 50-minute focus session followed by a 10-minute break for deeper work.
90-Minute Ultradian
For longer periods of uninterrupted work, Deep Flow supports a 90-minute focus session followed by a 20-minute break.
Custom Intervals
Want 35 minutes of focus and 7 minutes of rest?
Set your own focus and break durations and build a rhythm around the way you actually work.
Make Your Environment Part of Your Focus
Silence isn’t always the best environment for concentration.
Deep Flow includes a built-in soundscape mixer that lets you combine sounds to create an environment that works for you.
Mix multiple sounds
Combine sounds such as:
- ☕ Cafe Murmur
- 🌧️ Heavy Rain
- ⛈️ Rolling Thunder
- 🌲 Nature and ambient sounds
- 🌙 Atmospheric sounds
- 🔊 Noise and drone sounds
Adjust the volume of individual tracks and create your own mixes.
You can also save mixes for quick access later.
Fade Instead of Stop
Soundscapes can fade smoothly when a session changes, helping transitions feel less abrupt.
Build a Focus Habit
Deep Flow doesn’t stop when the timer ends.
Your completed sessions can become a record of how you’re actually spending your focused time.
Focus Analytics
See your focus activity at a glance.
Track things such as:
- Total focused time
- Number of sessions
- Current streak
- Weekly focus activity
- Recent sessions
- Focus time by tag
Understand where your time goes
Use tags such as:
#Writing · #Study · #DeepWork · #Code · #Reading
Then see how your focused time is distributed across them.
Instead of simply asking:
“Did I get anything done today?”
You can start seeing a pattern in how you work.
Your Focus History, On Your Device
Deep Flow is built around a local-first approach.
Your focus history and app data are designed to stay on your device rather than requiring an online account.
No account required
You don’t need to create an account just to use Deep Flow.
Local focus history
Your sessions, durations, timestamps, tags, preferences, and locally generated analytics are stored on your device.
Export when you want
Deep Flow provides options to export your focus information as:
- CSV
You decide what to do with your exported data.
Privacy by design
Deep Flow does not use Firebase or Google Analytics.
The app does use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob operates separately from your locally stored focus history.

Make Deep Flow Yours
Your ideal focus environment is probably not identical to everyone else’s.
Deep Flow gives you control over the details.
Customize your sessions
Set your own:
- Focus duration
- Short break duration
- Sound fade duration
Mindfulness & Commitment
For people who want stronger boundaries around their sessions, Deep Flow includes options such as:
Strict Deep Commitment
Require a deliberate hold before pausing or cancelling an active session.
Periodic Tibetan Anchor Bell
Set a periodic bell to gently bring your attention back to the present.
Choose intervals such as:
Off · 15m · 20m · 30m
OLED Pure Pitch Black
Use a true black interface designed specifically for OLED displays.
Accent Themes
Choose the visual accent that fits your setup.
Available themes include options such as:
- Electric Cyan
- Amber Glow
- Matrix Emerald
- Royal Violet
- Sunset
Stay in the Flow
You shouldn’t have to keep staring at your phone to know what’s happening.
Deep Flow brings important session controls into your notifications and lock-screen experience.
See the countdown.
Pause the session.
Skip ahead.
Stop when you need to.
Then put the phone down and continue working.
The timer works for you — not the other way around.
From One Session to a Habit
A single focused session is useful.
A consistent pattern is transformative.
Deep Flow gives you the tools to build that pattern:
Choose your interval → Focus → Take a break → Review your progress → Repeat.
Over time, your session history becomes a record of the work you’ve actually put in.
Designed to Stay Out of Your Way
Deep Flow uses a deliberately minimal interface.
Dark backgrounds.
Clear typography.
Focused controls.
No unnecessary dashboards competing for your attention while you’re trying to concentrate.
When you’re working, the goal is simple:
Less interaction. More focus.
