Flowly is live on Product Hunt today — would love your support 🚀
Six months ago I was running Todoist, Toggl, and a spreadsheet just to answer one question: where did my week go? Built Flowly to replace all three — tasks, time tracking, calendar sync, and analytics in one place. Shipped it solo in 30 days.
Been posting here since the beginning and the IH community has pushed my thinking more than anything else. The coordination tax article alone sparked conversations I'm still thinking about.
Today's the day. If Flowly looks useful, an upvote or comment on PH goes a long way — especially in the first few hours.

Upvoted. Good Luck.
Thank you, best luck to you as well!
Good luck!
Thank you!
Congrats on the PH launch, Max! The insight about distribution vs. positioning is one of the most underappreciated lessons in building SaaS. So many founders (myself included) spend months on features when the real unlock is finding the right framing for what the product actually does.
The observation that users described the problem back to you in their own words is gold — that's the kind of qualitative signal that's worth more than any analytics dashboard. "Context switch was breaking their flow" is a much more powerful positioning hook than any feature comparison.
One question: with the Google Workspace Marketplace submission in progress, are you planning to lean into the "works where you already work" angle? That could be a strong wedge for teams who are already in Google Calendar all day and don't want to leave that context.
Actually just got listed on the Google Workspace Marketplace too — flowly.run/marketplace if you're in Google Calendar all day anyway. The "works where you already are" angle is exactly the wedge I'm leaning into.
That reframe — from "what it does" to "what breaking your flow costs" — was the one that actually changed how I talk about the product. Feature lists describe the solution. The flow interruption framing describes the pain, which is what people recognize first.
The Workspace Marketplace angle is exactly where I'm taking it. "Works where you already are" sidesteps the whole "why should I adopt another tool" objection because the answer is you're not leaving your existing context, you're adding structure to it. For someone who lives in Google Calendar all day, calendar sync isn't a feature — it's the reason to try it at all. That's the wedge.
The qualitative signal point is something I keep coming back to. The analytics tell you what happened. Users telling you why in their own words is the only way to know what to say next.
Heads up, looks like your checkout is getting blocked by a Content Security Policy issue (PayPal/checkout iframe isn’t allowed).
You might need to update your CSP (
frame-src/child-src) to allow the payment domain, otherwise users won’t be able to complete payment.That was emergency call for me. Some issue on payment provider side.
Fixed it, thank you for your call.
Congrats on the launch, Max! It’s impressive to see a solo ship in 30 days, especially when you're consolidating that many tools. The "coordination tax" is such a real pain point—reducing the friction between three different apps is a massive win for focus.
Checking out the PH page now. Good luck with the first few hours!
Thank you for support! it means a lot <3
Thanks for making this kind of exciting app. I was looking for tools that can fulfill my needs to manage my time.
Your app is an idea app for me.
Good luck. And thanks again.
Glad to help, thank you for support.
Please let me know if there any point of improvement that would help you.
"Congrats on the launch, Max!!
Flowly looks really solid!
I checked out https://flowly.run/ and the headline
"Plan your day. Protect your energy." nails the benefit perfectly. The unified workspace (tasks + built-in timers + analytics in one calm interface) feels like a smart solve for freelancers who are tired of switching between 4 different apps.
The dashboard previews with live focus timers, streaks, and Al suggestions already give a strong sense of calm productivity. Nice work shipping something this polished as a solo dev in 30 days.
Curious how the early users are responding to the energy-protection side (break reminders + burnout prevention) is that resonating as much as the time-saving part?
Thank you for your support.
I still on early stage so users interviews are still ahead.
I would love to hear you thoughts on this if you had a chance to use it.
You’re welcome :)
Happy to check it out.
I just went through https://flowly.run/ and the overall concept is strong. The headline "Plan your day.
Protect your energy." is clear and benefit-oriented.
Bringing tasks, focus timers, time tracking, and Al suggestions into one calm interface is a smart solve for freelancers who are tired of app-switching.
One quick observation from a first-time user perspective:
After the hero section, it jumps quite fast into the full dashboard. The emotional benefit (calm energy protection) doesn't fully land in the first 30-60 seconds with a quick "aha" moment that shows how the calm actually feels in practice.
Would be happy to share more detailed thoughts on the first-time experience and design polish if that's useful.
Congrats on the launch!
Surely it's useful, please contact me anytime.
Alright Max :)
I'd be happy to share more detailed thoughts on the first-time experience and how to make the calm/ energy-protection benefit land stronger in those first 30-60 seconds.
What's the best way to reach you? Email works great for me, or feel free to drop yours here if you're comfortable.
Here's my personal email - [email protected]
Thank you in advance
Great!
Just wanted to let you know I sent two emails to the address you shared:
One with quick thoughts + a lightweight suggestion for the first-time experience (the "Try a 2-minute focus session" idea).
A follow-up with more detailed thoughts on making the calm/energy-protection benefit land stronger in the first 30-60 seconds.
Let me know if you received them or if anything landed in spam. Happy to clarify anything or expand.
