My issue is that with productivity theres a big factor of "good data in good data out". If a system is too overdesigned it often gets underutilized. I used to have complicated setups for my "productivity" but honestly I've paired it down to one google sheets time tracker with a few fancy features like time predicting on projects but not much.. and google calendar.

This is why I like Mark Forster's productivity systems.
They're built around giving minimal structure to your intuition, rather than trying to comprehensively analyze your situation.
Apologies 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.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for on so many levels. +1 user.
There'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.
Hey @drewg123, thanks for taking the time to check out our app and share your thoughts. We agree that the productivity market is huge, and that's why we're passionate about creating an ambitious app that meets the needs of modern professionals. We understand that building such a comprehensive productivity platform requires significant resources, and we're committed to continuing to improve Floutwork over time.
Regarding privacy concerns, we have a dedicated page on our website that outlines our privacy policy in detail. Additionally, we are always open to answering questions and providing more information as needed. As for the name Floutwork, we understand that it may be confusing. The name Flout is actually meant to convey "flouting the rules of modern work", but we understand that it may be interpreted differently. We appreciate your feedback. Thanks again for your interest in Floutwork!

One thing that may help is standing up a simple product landing page to describe what the product is and linking off to the app store.
When I tried to search just for "Pixelist" on DDG I didn't see the app on the first page. Once I added iOS then it was findable.
Your app seems really neat. It reminds me of the everyday calendar that Simone Giertz made.

Thank you; finding a habit tracker on IOS that isn't juiced to the gills with social and/or subscription features is impossible.

Hey CEO2, I totally understand where you're coming from. There are a whole bunch of "productivity tools" out there. Many people try to stitch together multiple productivity apps in an attempt to improve their productivity. Floutwork is trying to solve that problem by bringing it all together into a single "work system" that helps you focus on your work, rather than the tools. It's designed to help you be productive by default, and you really need to go out of your way to be distracted. We would love for you to try it out and let us know what you think."

It looks really nice! I'm looking for an app to replace my current tracking system.
If I may give some feedback: when editing the name of the habit, could you please insert the habit name string into the text field? Completely retyping it is a bit cumbersome.

Wow, thank you! It’s been years since I’ve touched the app, and I would’ve sworn it already did that. Will dust it off!
