#2Looks pretty slick.
When I click "Download macOS App" it downloads an .exe file.

#3I love the concept! Modern interrupt-driven workflows are horrible if you want to get real work done, designing for focus time is a great idea.
How is it with privacy, PII, and sensitive data? Is all processing done locally, or is data uploaded into the cloud?

This surprised me too, and not in a good way. I got that scary old feeling from the early-2000s when a surprise exe appeared.

#5Subscription pricing. No thanks, I'll keep using Notepad++ with two panes, one for writing and one for todos.

#6This looks neat, but there’s no world in which I start using this product without knowing the price.
Too much of a commitment to add this to my routine to find out you’re charging $50/mo and require an annual plan or something.

Yeah, it loads a download windows button too but links to the same sketchy dropbox download link.
I'd be wary of installing random apps nowadays with crypto hacks and what not. I guess I need to think twice before doing so.

#8Apologies if this is uncouth, but if anyone wants the opposite of this product, check out Pixelist on the App Store: it’s a 100% free and private, extremely minimalist habit tracker. I’m terrible at marketing (my Show HN had zero response) but it’s had a growing organic user base that seems to love it.

#9There's a real market for this, and this is a really ambitious app. So much so that I'm very skeptical it will work without significant resources behind it. So you'd need to overcome that for me, as well as privacy concerns, by disclosing a lot more about the company an the codebase.
Also the name is confusing, Flout is kind of the opposite of Focus Work.

#10I guess they say to launch before you think you're ready.
