Thus, you'll be able to concentrate on what you are doing and make the most of the dedicated time.

How does Flowkeeper work

When you launch Flowkeeper you will have to create a new plan for the day at hand. You will have to add tasks to a list and assign a number of pomodoros to each task (periods of 25 minutes).

When the time runs out the program will notify it with a sound notification.

Thus, you'll have to fulfill the concentration and rest periods until you manage to complete the tasks at hand. Flowkeeper also allows the possibility to view the work statistics of the finished tasks, so as to check if the planned work has been accomplished or to notice what has failed.
