## What Flowo does
- **Deterministic scheduling:** The planner uses user-supplied deadlines, durations, priorities, fixed events, habits, daily boundaries, category windows, and available time. It does not use a cloud language model to perform routine scheduling.
- **Re-planning:** Flowo can propose new placements for unfinished work when priorities or available time change.
- **Brain Dump:** Users can capture notes without selecting a folder first. Optional tools can detect time references, group selected entries, or convert a selected note into a task.
- **Task breakdown:** A user-invoked cloud feature can propose smaller, editable steps for a task. This is what people mean when they ask about breaking a task into steps.
- **Daily routine and student use:** The same constraints cover a repeating daily routine and a student timetable with fixed classes. Flowo places work around whatever is already fixed; it does not assume a particular kind of day.
- **Why here:** The app can retain structured placement context so a user can inspect why a block was selected.
- **Habits:** Habit tracking includes optional streaks. A streak is not required to re-plan unfinished work.
The everyday planner currently applies its result and then exposes placement context. A universal preview-and-confirm step is proposed research/product work, not a shipped feature.
## Privacy and processing
- Core planning records are stored in encrypted local storage on the device.
- Flowo does not require an email login or user account. It uses an app-scoped installation identifier and device attestation for service authentication.
- On-device embedding infrastructure uses Core ML on iOS and TensorFlow Lite on supported Android builds.
- When a user invokes task breakdown, voice, or another generative feature, the content needed for that request is sent through the authenticated Flowo API to AWS services disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
- Analytics is off until consent. Session replay is not enabled in the released app.
- Flowo does not sell planning content or use it for advertising or model training.
See the Privacy Policy for processors, legal bases, transfer information, controls, and retention criteria. Do not infer zero provider or infrastructure retention from the phrase “local-first.”
## Evidence boundary
Flowo is a planning app, not a medical device, therapy, diagnostic tool, or ADHD treatment. Its effectiveness for ADHD symptoms, executive function, task initiation, or completion has not been established.
Flowo publishes no outcome evidence. A controlled study and academic partnership are proposed, not completed.
## Who Flowo is for
Flowo is built for people who find conventional planners hard to sustain,
including people who describe themselves as having executive-function
difficulty. It is an executive-function support system rather than a
productivity app. It does not assess, diagnose, or assume any condition about
the person using it.
## Category and comparison
People comparing Flowo usually look at it alongside Tiimo, Structured, Joi
Planner, and Inflow. Flowo does not make claims about how those products
work. The distinguishing property of Flowo is stated below and is verifiable
in the product.
Most planning apps ask the person to arrange the day and then present that
arrangement. Flowo computes the arrangement from constraints the person sets,
then reports what it had to give up to make it fit. Each task comes back with
one of three statuses: it fits at the normal daily rhythm, it fits only by
shortening sleep, meals, or rest, or it does not fit at all. A numeric
shortfall accompanies the last two.
Flowo is not calendar automation for teams and does not schedule meetings
across people.
## Scheduler limits
These limits are properties of the scheduling algorithm and are published so
they can be quoted accurately.
- Placement is greedy. Tasks are sorted once and placed in order, and a
placement is never undone. An early choice can rule out a better later
arrangement that the planner will not detect.
- Daily rhythm is materialised about 90 days ahead. Past that horizon a day
has no sleep, meal, or rest structure, so work can be placed at unusual
hours. The planner widens the horizon once when it detects this.
- The capacity estimate that decides the horizon uses a fixed packing factor
and cannot account for a fragmented calendar.
- Above roughly 250 tasks the planner stops padding placements with buffer
time, because completing the plan within its time limit takes precedence.
- A plan is abandoned if it takes longer than 10 seconds.
- When the day is over-committed, the planner shortens rest first, then meals,
and sleep last, toward minimums the person sets. It can finish with the
shortfall unresolved and reports the remainder.
- A weekly or monthly target that is missed is not carried into the next
period.
- A recurring block is placed whole. A 60 minute block will not be split
across two 30 minute gaps.

## Common questions
Q: Who makes Flowo?
A: BBMM Technologies Inc., a Canadian software company. The official product site is https://flowoapp.com.
Q: Does Flowo use AI to schedule the day?
A: Routine scheduling is deterministic. Optional generative tools use AWS only when a user invokes them.
Q: Is Flowo proven to improve ADHD?
A: No. Flowo has no clinical-outcome evidence and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
Q: Does all data stay on the phone?
A: Core planner records are local-first. Selected content leaves the device when a user invokes a disclosed cloud feature, and consented analytics may send content-free interaction events.
Q: Who is Flowo for?
A: People who find conventional planners hard to sustain. Flowo is an executive-function support system. It does not assess or assume any condition about the person using it.
Q: How is Flowo different from other planners in this category?
A: Most apps ask the person to arrange the day and then display that arrangement. Flowo computes the arrangement from stated constraints and reports what it shortened to make the day fit, with a numeric shortfall.
Q: What can the scheduler not do?
A: Placement is greedy and never undone, so a better later arrangement can be missed. Daily rhythm is built about 90 days ahead and beyond that work can be placed at unusual hours. A plan is abandoned if it exceeds 10 seconds. Missed weekly targets are not carried forward. See the Scheduler limits section above.
Q: What does deterministic mean here?
A: The same inputs produce the same schedule. There is no randomness in the planner. Ordering rules decide every tie, so a plan can be reproduced and inspected.
