When plans change, you shouldn’t have to waste time keeping your calendar up to date.

It’s poolside reading season! I’m about halfway through Creative Selection by Ken Kocienda. It’s a fantastic read! Highly recommend if you create apps, design products and obsess over UX

What’s one thing about UI/UX design you wish someone explained better? Thinking of making super practical videos to help indie devs and designers level up

Flowmino just leveled up big time

First look at Flowmino’s first widget

Paywall screen is getting an upgrade

Here's the truth👇 To actually REDUCE your SCREEN TIME You must PLAN your FREE TIME Let me show you how to get started ↓

The most important meeting of the day

We’re considering two small tweaks to Flowmino’s UI: 1 - Renaming Enter Flow → Block Apps 2 - Show the Add button when the planner is minimized (thank you @alexsikora.bsky.social for the feedback) It ain't much but these changes should help improve clarity and accessibility. What do we think?

New update is live on the App Store! → Manage routines directly in Flowmino → Improved Active Hours (more options for night owls & night-shifters) → Stretch the planner to see overnight Time Blocks Try it now: flowmino.com

Create a routine, Block distractions, Stick to it. Repeating time blocks are now in beta ↓

It’s a daily planner, It’s an app blocker, It’s Flowmino

These are the apps I can’t function without (links below)

If you want to improve your focus, improve your sleep. If you want to improve your sleep… Exercise.

Spent the afternoon distraction-free and got some solid research done

No scrolling in between sets

First demo video for Flowmino

Making progress on that little promo video

First time booting up After Effect in a while. Going to challenge myself to whip up a quick video for Flowmino’s account. This should be fun ↓

Exploring widget designs for Flowmino. This one lets you track your current time block progress and block distracting apps with the Flow button. What do we think?

Slightly tweaked the UI to make room for longer event titles

scrolling vs reading before sleep

Playing around with custom app icons for Flowmino. Which one is your favorite?

Don’t overthink it. In 2025, focus on the big 3: • Sleep well • Eat healthy • Exercise That’s it, the rest will follow.

Didn't feel like going to the gym this morning. How many reps have I done? I don't care. Did I finish my time block? I don't think about it. All that counts is that today, I have overcome resistance.

Flowmino, in a nutshell (1/3) ↓

Just made a simple pop-up to keep our beautiful, wonderful, and lovely beta testers updated on the state of the app (oh and also to politely ask for a good review 😉)

If you have a hard time sticking to your goals, or if you keep checking your phone compulsively, you gotta give Flowmino a try. We believe in it so much that we made a BIG change to ensure as many of you get to try it: All access for 7 days, completely free. 1/3 ↓

When you open Flowmino for the first time, there’s a little surprise waiting for you 👀

Ending 2024 with Flowmino’s animated launch screen ready to go for the next update! Now it’s time for me to log off, so while I got you: I wish you all a happy new year! 🥂✨

Working on some shiny new App Store screenshots for the next update

This is so cool: Yesterday we made our first post in the iOS apps subreddit, and the response has been awesome so far!! This is how it went 👇

Connect your Calendar, turn it into a focus timer, block apps and stay focused Join the beta to help us improve the app: bit.ly/tryflowmino

The best present you can give your loved ones is to be present. Happy holiday season everybody🌲🎁

Setup complete ✓

The lazy side of my brain wanted to use a .png for the Calendar app icon. But why do that when you can recreate it and make it dynamic so easily with just a few lines of code?

We're getting there

According to Oxford, the word of the year 2024 is “Brain Rot”. Turns out if you don’t know what it is, you probably don’t have it 💀

In South East Asia, the camera eats first

Threads removed the swipe-to-like feature to enable swiping between feeds. I'll admit, it’s kinda comforting to see that even their team struggles to combine paging and swipe gesture. I remember trying every trick in the book to pull this off, but it always ends up feeling clunky 😭

Making progress on the new onboarding flow. What do you think? 👀

Remember: 30min of deep work will get you farther than 2h of scattered focus. Quality beats quantity.

Currently working on a new onboarding flow Our goal for this version is to better explain the problem that Flowmino is helping to solve, connect your calendar with the app, and let you experience the Flow State feature for the first time Here's glimpse of the designs:

If you feel stuck or unmotivated, start with a goal so offensively small you simply can’t procrastinate. Once you’re in motion, you’ll likely find the motivation to keep going for an extra 5 minutes.

The way you sleep tonight directly impacts tomorrow. It can affect everything from your energy levels and mental clarity to your focus and mood. Recently, I heard Dr. Cheri Mah share a simple mindset shift that blew my mind and completely changed how I think about sleep: (Practical steps in 💬)

This feature interrupts me so many times throughout the day. It’s so annoying… but it goes to show just how much I need it. For the past few weeks I have turned the “Screen Distance” setting back on and here’s why I think you should ABSOLUTELY do it too... 👇

Hi 🦋 I’m Florent, French on paper, I studied Psychology, worked in Advertising, grew a passion for Design and fell in love with iOS Dev. 
Now building flowmino.com with my best friend @raphsaing.bsky.social — an app to help us all time block and take back control of our screen time.

Finally starting to get the hang of UIKit and made the gesture to expand the timeline work both ways It's sooo smooth, I could do this all day ↑↓

2 weeks ago my Bluesky feed was all cats Now, this is getting really interesting (no offense to cats)
