It’d be nice if there were a setting such that if you failed to stay engaged with the text for five seconds it took a screenshot of everything before wiping your work. The one design gripe I have is that while this works great for sittings of an hour or less, it’s a bit too draconian for two or three hour sessions - some of us mortals occasionally have to pee, answer urgent phone calls, or go check on the fire alarm, whatever. Great concept- the only thing I’ve found (besides drugs) that prevents me from trying to do the impossible and squeeze out a perfect first draft rather than trusting the revision process. I believe if I use this app ‘everyday’, it will help me become a better writer. To stop that, when I make a spelling mistake I try to either retype it or if my fingers become all thumbs I hit return and start a new line. My problem is I still find myself doing spelling edits. The timer turns into a button that you click on to end the writing session, or if you prefer, just keep on writing (the good thing). One thing, when the time is up there’s no feedback, maybe that’s a good thing. For testing, I did a bunch of text returns to get me to the bottom of the page and kept on hitting return so it’s good to know that you will never run out of a page to type on. I like the way you can save your work as well as the different ways it can be saved, for example, by name, by date, etc. It’s fun to play around with how long you have before the text actually is gone. When typing I played with the text disappearing to the point where it was ‘almost’ totally gone, and resume typing to bring the text back in a-nick-of-time. Love the different times and fonts you can choose. Since this only works with EL Cap and higher I’m using this app on my external SSD running the Sierra GM Beta. Review is coming from a Mac mini late 2012 running Yosemite with a SSD drive running macOS Sierra GM Beta. If Flowstate suits your needs, download the 4.31 MB app for $9.99 on PC.

What comes out when you hurtle deeper and deeper without pausing to tweak or edit?įor those willing to set aside their preconceptions of how to write, they may find a companion in this app: a single law that silences the analytical brain and amplifies a voice of candor. This app is guided by a simple philosophy: flow, then react. The only way to save your work is by writing until the timer ends. If you exit early, or stop typing for longer than five seconds, all progress is lost. It frees the writer to turn on, tune in, and open up.Ĭhoose how long you want to write (5, 15, 30 min), then enter a flow session. this app is a response to the amphetaminic digital age. Many sit down to write and watch hours vanish with nothing to show but a trail of browser tabs. The world is a hive of distractions, multi-tasking, and cultural ADD.
