Flow puts the day as you named it above the day as it actually went — every app, every switch, every stretch nothing explains.

No account. We never receive your activity data.
Waitlist
Get the release note and the occasional progress note. Nothing else.
Local-first
The recording stays on your machine.
There is no account to create, and Flow writes to a local database you can open, copy, or delete.
Today Flow makes no network connections at all — not for licences, not for updates, not for anything. When a licence check is added before launch, this page will say exactly what it sends.
Sync is off by default; if you turn it on, you name the folder yourself — a USB stick, or a folder your own cloud provider keeps in sync — and Flow writes an encrypted copy of your log there. We never receive it either way.
The files Flow writes outside your device — the sync copy, a USB stick, a copy made for another device — are encrypted with a code your devices share: Flow makes it, you keep it, we never see it and cannot recover it. Lose the code and those files stay unreadable, while the log on each device keeps working exactly as before. Their file names stay readable, and so does a copy you export for yourself to read.

Price TBD
Desktop and phone in one price. Pricing is not settled yet — the waitlist decides who gets the first build.
Design principle
No score. No streak. Nothing turns red because you had a bad day.
A tool that grades you gets closed after a week. Flow never rates the person — it makes the structure of the day impossible to argue with, and leaves the conclusion to you. Time it cannot identify stays labelled unknown rather than being guessed into a category.
Away
Knows when you left.
Idle time is never counted as work on its own: it shows up as time to explain, until you name it — or a rule you set for that app does.
Off screen
Life that has no window.
Calls, errands, a nap. Add them in a click or two, after the fact.
Second screen
Your phone counts too.
The scrolling that happens while a build runs is part of the day.
Footprint
Out of the way.
Runs in the tray while you work.
The studio
RiD builds tools that hand time back.
Three worlds, one idea: games that enrich the small gaps in a day instead of mining them, organisation that actually saves time, and health that leaves you comfortable in your own body. Every RiD tool is built for its own maker first — what annoys, goes.
rid of the clutter — less weight between you and the better version of yourself.
