FlowBuddy

🎉 Hey Product Hunt! 🎉 I am thrilled to introduce FlowBuddy – your new companion for blocking distractions and transforming every app open into a learning opportunity! 🚀 📱 What does FlowBuddy do? 🚫 Block distracting apps to help you stay focused ⏱️ Unblock for 5 or 10 minutes for intentional app use 🧠 Learn on every app open with AI-powered flashcards, turning idle moments into micro-learning sessions 💡 I built FlowBuddy to help people take back control of their phone usage and improve focus. Whether you’re working, studying, or just looking to reduce screen time, FlowBuddy has you covered! I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any ideas for future features! Let me know what you think! ❤️

Hi all🙂 I loved working with my brother on FlowBuddy!😍 We all know – algorithms have become incredibly addictive recently😵‍💫 So we built FlowBuddy – and it really has helped me reduce my phone usage😊 Simply creating a distance between picking up my phone and getting into my social stream has made a huge difference for me. Even though I still open addictive apps (but less frequently now), it really helps when FlowBuddy kicks me out after a few minutes. I hope it helps you gain some time as well. 🙏 Lauris

Hey Costin and Lauris, How does FlowBuddy decide which flashcards to show when opening a blocked app? Is it based on user-set topics or does it use AI to determine relevant content? Have you found that the 5-10 minute unblock feature helps reduce overall app usage compared to a strict block? Congrats on the launch!
