FlowShield puts your distractions behind a shield that gets harder to lower the deeper you go — and turns every finished sprint into momentum you can feel.
Free to use · Windows 10 & 11 · No .NET install needed · Terms & privacy
Momentum is the main score; a simple day streak adds context. No confetti, no all-or-nothing reset.
Start with a brief notice inside FlowShield while the distracting app keeps running. Step up to closing blocked apps. Or lock the blocklist for the sprint.
Finished sprints compound into momentum. Abandon one and it decays gradually, while a simple day streak stays secondary.
Every sprint ends with one optional prompt: what moved? The answer is stored locally with that session.
Set a nightly window where the shield raises itself. The 1 a.m. version of you doesn't get a vote.
Make Soft behave like Firm: blocked processes close immediately instead of producing the brief notice.
Your sessions, blocklists and journal never leave your PC. They are encrypted locally with Windows DPAPI.
Pick how much you trust yourself today. FlowShield will hold you to it.
FlowShield records the blocked app and shows a brief notice inside FlowShield; the distracting app keeps running.
Blocked apps are closed on sight and stay closed for the rest of the sprint. The blocklist is still editable.
Blocked apps close on sight and the blocklist locks for the rest of the sprint.
Start free forever. Upgrade when three blocked apps stops being enough.
Everything you need to prove the habit works.
For when the shield needs to be stronger than your willpower.
