Flano
Focus timer
Work and break sessions alternate automatically, with distinct cues for starting, pausing, and resuming.
Desktop app · v1.0.0
Pomodoro & Today, in one quiet window.
Flano pairs a focus timer with the task queue you actually work from today. Everything lives in a local SQLite file on your machine — no account, no sync, no network calls.
Free, offline-first, and lightweight — the installer is about 3MB.
Built for a day of focused work
The timer, the queue, and the history all read from the same local database, so nothing drifts out of sync.
Today queue
One committed list for the day: add, reorder, complete, and undo. Anything due but not queued is surfaced for you.
Recurring tasks
Daily, weekly, or every-N-days rules. Each occurrence is tracked separately, so finishing Tuesday's does not erase Wednesday's.
Projects & notes
Group tasks into colour-coded projects, each with its own scratchpad that saves as you type.
Stats & streaks
Daily focus totals, cycle averages, and a work streak that only counts completed focus sessions.
Shortcut & tray
Start, pause, or skip from the system tray, or bind a global shortcut. The window hides instead of quitting so the timer keeps running.
Your data never leaves your machine
Flano has no account system and no server component. Sessions, tasks, and settings
live in a single app.db SQLite file you can back up yourself.
