FlowSavvy
Automatic time-blocking planner
Hello hunters! My brother and I created FlowSavvy to automatically plan our schedules better than we could, and in a fraction of the time. This was our secret super power in college since we could just dump all of our assignments into the app and have it spit out our optimized schedule for the next few weeks. We think back and wonder how we ever managed without it. Key features: ✔️ Automatically build your schedule based on tasks from your to-do list and events from your calendar ✔️ Automatically balance your workload over multiple days (bye-bye procrastination!) ✔️ 1-click recalculate your entire schedule when you get behind ✔️ Repeating events and tasks (<-- flexible habits!!) ✔️ Tasks color coded by how close they are scheduled to their due date (green, orange, red) ✔️ Free version that includes limited access to EVERY feature ✔️ There's a ton more, let us know in the comments if you have a question about a certain feature! One of our main focuses with this app has been to aggressively simplify our UI and make auto-scheduling more accessible for everyone, not just the niche power users and enterprise teams. Your support means the world to us. We'd love to hear thoughts and feedback and we're happy to answer any questions!!

Oh wow, exactly what I need!
I’ve been time blocking non time sensitive tasks less and less because it’s a super annoying having to manage it when something inevitably pops up.
Going to give this a proper play later today and I’m pretty sure you can count me as a customer already.
Great product, demo video and pricing as well. Congrats on the launch and all best!
Thanks @navinpeiris! and so true, hoping this can reduce that manual effort so more people can experience that benefit of time blocking. Would love to hear your first impression when you play around with it later!
Appreciate your kind words!
@gabriel_nori Thank you! 100%, that's a great question. One of the common use cases we see is with university students, since they have multiple deadlines every day and a constantly changing schedule, while still wanting to cram in as many fun/social things as possible. Instead of having a loose idea of when projects need to be started, which contributes to procrastination, they can clearly see what their week would need to look like if they want to hit all their deadlines. And if any task goes red, they instantly know they've overcommitted and can make adjustments to hit their deadlines. "Can I go to this event on Thursday? ?*puts it in FlowSavvy and FlowSavvy rearranges schedule instantly, showing the new workload*, cool yep I'm still hitting all my deadlines the next 2 weeks. ?". FlowSavvy is great at helping people like this understand the downstream effects of their time decisions. Solopreneurs and busy parents are some other great examples.
And yes, a lot of the parameters can be adjusted per person! For example, you can choose to frontload all your tasks or balance the workload out over several days. You can set up your different scheduling hours like working hours, personal hours, family time, etc, and there are fine grained controls at the task level like whether a task can be split around other events or not.
Happy to dive more into this if you have other questions about the customizability! Thanks a ton for your questions!!
This is such a small yet significant idea to help people block their time and be productive. I've always thought of trying out time blocking to get things done but didn't proceed much with that.
Tried the Flowsavvy app and it does a good work in blocking the time and rescheduling when required. Also, color coding helps.
The onboarding and interactive process was easy and clear. Kudos to that.
The UI is kinda similar to Google Calendar and easy to navigate. Just a small suggestion with UI. The newly added time block sticks to the left side of the day instead of being in the middle (symmetric). Not sure if this same with Google Calendar but just thought of conveying it.
Congratulations on the launch, Lucas.
