What Flowkeeper is

Flowkeeper is a desktop Pomodoro timer and work-tracking tool built around the original Pomodoro Technique. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, and its Free plan has no subscriptions or paid features. Users can organize work with task lists, daily backlogs, todo lists, reminders and configurable task categories. Fullscreen rest notifications are enabled by default, and a configurable alert can sound one minute before a Pomodoro ends. Keyboard shortcuts, timer and tray icon appearance, themes and audio can be customized. Work summaries can be exported as Markdown, CSV or JSON; data can also be exported and imported as text. Flowkeeper stores data locally in plaintext files that users can copy, back up and edit. It works offline; users can share the data file manually or enable Watch changes, while online sync is under development. It can run external programs when application events occur. The maker says version 0.7.x uses the network only to check for updates through the GitHub API, and those checks can be disabled in Settings.
