Use Flowtime Instead of Strict Pomodoro | Wick
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use Flowtime in Wick instead of strict Pomodoro?
- Yes. Wick offers Pomodoro, Flowtime or a plain timer, so you can stop the question being how long the interval is.
- Does Wick count time I was not really focusing?
- No. It logs the focus you truly gave — nothing padded, nothing faked — and the almanac adds up small flames one focused day at a time.
- What does the almanac show?
- The focus you actually gave, building into a streak worth keeping.
- Does Wick track me?
- No. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Everything runs on your device.
The short answer
Pomodoro asks for 25 minutes whether or not you have them. Flowtime asks how long you are actually going to work. Wick offers Pomodoro, Flowtime, or a plain timer — the point is that you choose, rather than arguing with an interval.
Only the fire that was real
Most focus trackers accumulate time, which means they reward the timer running rather than the work happening. Wick logs the focus you truly gave — nothing padded, nothing faked.
The almanac adds those up as small flames, one focused day at a time, into a streak worth keeping. That is a different kind of record: it cannot be inflated by leaving the timer open, so a streak means something.
One honest intention a day
Wick skips the endless to-do list. You name one honest intention, give it your full flame, and let the rest wait its turn.
This is the part that makes the timer bearable: a list of fifteen things produces fifteen unfinished sessions, while one named thing produces a finished one. The almanac then reflects that difference honestly.
