What is FlowBuddy?
FlowBuddy is a mobile application designed to help users regain control over their digital habits and improve focus. It enables individuals to easily block distracting applications by creating custom blocklists, thereby fostering a more productive digital environment. When a user attempts to open a blocked app, FlowBuddy offers a brief, time-limited unblock option (5 or 10 minutes), promoting mindful usage rather than prolonged distraction. This feature aims to balance necessary access with maintaining concentration.
Beyond simple app blocking, FlowBuddy integrates an innovative learning feature. Users can create flashcards, utilizing AI capabilities, which are presented each time a blocked app is attempted to be opened. This transforms potentially idle moments or impulses into micro-learning sessions, aiding information retention and making screen time more constructive. The application seeks to combat excessive phone use and associated issues like reduced face-to-face communication and potential negative impacts on mental well-being.
