FlowSavvy: Auto-Scheduling

Crappy app

UPDATE, after a year of use: I can confirm my initial enthusiasm about this app, and go further—it’s just brilliant. The developers (Jacob and Lucas) are super-responsive, and they keep refining and improving the app. Among other things, they have checked off all three of the items I requested in my original review (tags/search/filtering, simple dependencies, and an option to have a task automatically expire after its due date and time). So: six stars! ORIGINAL REVIEW (Straightforward on the surface, sophisticated in what it does): A really useful app, helping me to plan my routines and middle-sized projects realistically and flexibly. I subscribe to the pro version, and happily enough; I’ve seen a steady stream of small improvements that justify the cost. I’m looking forward to seeing two features on the roadmap: “Improved to-do list organization (tags, filtering, etc.)” and “Auto-ignore overdue repeating tasks (if you can't make your workout on Monday, it shouldn't schedule two workouts on Tuesday).” I’d also really like to see some fairly simple implementation of dependencies: “schedule x for an earlier time, schedule y for a later time.” But above all I hope that the developers keep the interface relatively simple, and the app relatively speedy.

Update: one month in. Has one of the least steep learning curves of one of these types of apps. That said, this app is very powerful and has tremendous potential! Designed more for the individual user versus a team, pluses include an intuitive clean schedule user interface, the ability to add both fixed time and automatically scheduled tasks, a relatively intuitive way to add events and tasks, and a bit more intelligent way of organizing (and now prioritizing!) the events throughout the day versus just slamming you with all the events at the beginning of it each day. Oh and extremely responsive developers! That said, It really needs the ability to interact directly (complete, snooze, recalculate, even just go to) with the task being notified with the push notifications, it also really needs the addition of interactive push notifications for the Web app, Siri integration, and could use a more muted color UI option (my weird blue green color blindness would be less grumpy).

Exactly what I needed to time block and get organized!

I was looking for something that did my scheduling for me after I was using another software that did the same but was ridiculously expensive and didn’t do half of what this app does. I love that it syncs my calendars and organizes my tasks and still looks out for the low earning people that still need help with time/task management.

I've always been an overthinker, scheduling to much and not getting what I want done. However, this app has changed everything, I no longer feel overwhelmed, stressed, or worried that I won't get a task done. It seems that this app almost has everything whilst having a simple design and interface. This is by far the best calendar app out here that schedules everything for you and finds the perfect time for everything. I can't wait to see what the future has for FlowSavvy.

Holy smokes!!! Absolutely amazing!! I’m highly visual and have ADHD.. this app is remarkable. You can see tasks and events in calendar view(!!) (no more multiple parts of the app to find things) The AI reschedules EVERYTHING when life throws a curve ball. Holy smokes… I’m just totally blown away there’s a planning app that works with my brain and not against it. Oh btw, the whole things is extremely user friendly. What I mean is, no more hyper detail settings. It’s all quick add features like the iPhone calendar we all grew up with. They’re at the forgot of scheduling technology. This company is going to surpass all the others in no time.

I’ve tried other apps and this one works the best for me! When a task pops up I throw it into FlowSavvy and give it a deadline and duration and BOOM. It’s scheduled. As I move things around or book appointments, my calendar easily readjusts. It’s not overly complicated and works great!

Time management is one of the most difficult problems to tackle in the modern world, and FlowSavvy is without a doubt the best solution I have found for it. Its simple to use, and simple to follow. It accommodates for changes, and keeps me on track through every different facet of my life. It gives me freedom to do even more. In addition to that the customer service offered by the developers is top notch. Every single issue I’ve ever had I just file a simple ticket, and with a couple of quickly responded to messages later they have the issue fixed and corrected in my system. The accountability they have and the passion they put into their product is unbeatable. 10 stars deserved, great product.

I have tried so many apps: Motion (too expensive) Butleroy (not updated, few features) Structured (not enough features) Skedpal (UX is lacking) Tick Tick (not enough features) This is the Goldilocks of them all. You can customize and so far I have not encountered any issues. Very affordable and actually has cut my anxiety in half to the point that I barely need anxiety meds It also is fast about to onboard and learn and fun enough to use for consistency for those w ADHD
