TriflowFocus timer
For when you can’t
pick where to start.
Pick three tasks, shuffle them if choosing is the hard part, and work through them one at a time with a timer or stopwatch.
Shuffle is my favorite button.
It started with
“3, 2, 1, go.”
When I was stuck and couldn’t decide what to do next, my wife would count down “3, 2, 1, go,” and somehow that was enough to get me moving. Triflow is my attempt at putting that little push in an app. Every session starts with the same countdown.
How a session works
Choose three tasks
Just three, even if the real list is twenty. Everything else can wait until this session’s done.
Shuffle the order
If deciding what goes first is what’s holding you up, shuffle and start with whatever lands on top.
Timer or stopwatch
Set a countdown if you want a finish line. Run the stopwatch if you’d rather see how long it took.
Make it look
how you like.
Triflow has several themes, from Paper & Ink to Liquid Glass, so you can pick one you like looking at. There’s haptic feedback too.

Dad, videographer, app maker
I have ADHD, and decision paralysis is a real thing for me. I can look at a list of stuff I want to get done and end up doing none of it because I can’t pick where to start. Three tasks and a countdown doesn’t fix that every time. It gets me going a lot more often than a long list does.
More about meQuestions
Triflow privacy policyDoes Triflow keep a history?
No. When a session ends, you see what you got done and how long each task took. Starting a new session clears the list.
What if I leave the app during a session?
The timer keeps going, and it shows on your Lock Screen. If time runs out while Triflow is closed, you get a notification instead of the alarm.
Is there an iPad version?
No. Triflow is made for iPhone.
Do I need an account or internet connection?
No. There’s no account, and it works without a connection.
Is there a subscription?
No. Triflow is $3.99, once. The only thing to buy inside the app is an optional tip, in Settings.
