"why it asking for downloads permision suddenly? what would u need access to download history for?i use this extension in my secondary browser so nevr properly used it so gave an avg 4 feedback will change it after properly trying it!"
"Hey Yugal, thanks for calling this out! You are totally right. We only added that permission for the weekly auto-backup feature. To keep Flow as simple and clean as possible, we are completely removing the auto-backup feature and the downloads permission in the upcoming update. You will still be able to manually export your stats whenever you want without any permissions. Thanks for the feedback!"
"Works perfectly on Edge. Zero complaints but I want to block specific YouTube channels too."
"Thanks for the review! Channel blocking is definitely on the wish list. I appreciate the feedback and support!"

"Hey Krishan, thanks for the feedback! You are completely right. We are adding a Session Editor to allow manually reclassifying site categories in the next update. Stay tuned!"
"very good extension can add more features in future. i had seen your reddit post as 12th grader you have done a very great job in 1.5 years"
"Thank you so much for the 5-star review and the kind words! It's awesome to connect with other students. I have a lot of exciting features planned for the upcoming updates, so stay tuned!"
"one rec, add like a system for breaks, like example, i can access 5 min of yt after a 1 hour 30 minute deep sesh ONLY (no exceptions), something like that would be really helpful"

"This is amazing, please try to use the i button to explain what we are actually doing."
"Thank you! We'll add explanatory tooltips or info buttons next to settings toggles in the next update to make it clearer."
Everything you need to know about privacy, permissions, and features in Flow.
Absolutely not. Flow is built with a local-first privacy model. All your browsing logs, timer statistics, and blocked rules are stored directly on your computer's local storage database. We do not track, collect, sell, or send any of your history to external servers.
Flow needs these browser permissions to monitor when you are active on specific websites (to calculate your daily study trends) and to intercept distracting domains (to show the blocked page). This tracking is 100% local and processed completely in your browser.
Yes, Flow is 100% free, open-source, and contains zero ads or paid subscriptions. It is built and maintained as a passion project for students, developers, and writers looking to optimize their study habits.
Yes. You can manually download a full JSON backup of your study logs and rules from the settings dashboard under the "Migration & Imports" tab. You can also import history from other popular tracking extensions.
When enabled, the PIN lock protects rule editing, timer stops, and options pages. If you set a PIN and give it to a trusted study partner (or write it down somewhere hard to reach), you won't be able to bypass your own blocks during deep study sessions.
Install Flow for free and customize your deep study environment in under a minute.
