@michaeljelly do users get to manually, or perhaps even retrospectively, decide which apps and time represent low-productivity for them (like not just because they've started a focus session)? Some times discussing a topic with a team in Slack can be a very productive experience, whereas someone could spend hours achieving nothing impactful in their code editor.
I like the idea of tracking context switching, but that's also very difficult to automatically interpret that as good or bad. For example, often I've worked places where there's been a release or something and I've been in back and forth conversation between product and development whilst we iron out some bugs, and both parties are jumping between code, slack, a browser etc... but it's super productive (even if it's not enjoyable haha).
@codefreechris Totally agree! We will definitely add more user-driven flows to retrospectively categorise things!
Same for the context-switching, at the moment it's only automatic but we've already heard from people that they'd like to define their own contexts. It's in the pipeline!
@michaeljelly Does it automatically all "distraction websites" like social media, shopping, click baity ads?
@samabrika1 Yup, tracks them all! We aren't doing blocking yet but I'm sure we'll get there eventually!
@michaeljelly Congratulations on the launch!
Magicflow could be addressing the need-gap: 'Focus drift' posted on my problem validation forum - https://needgap.com/problems/93-... .
If it does, You're welcomed to explain how Magicflow addresses that problem so those who need it can find it easily.
@aliatttar Thansk Ali! Appreciate the enthusiasm! What you want, you can have :D See you in the app
I've been getting curious about the flow state lately but didn't have hard data to keep track of my deep work sessions. This platform does a great job at covering the bases and offering insight into the process. I think it's one of the most relevant products I've seen in a while. Great job.
@takomborerwam Fantastic! Excited to see you in the app!
There will be a watch app within the next year, our primary focus is making the app awesome and expanding the number of platforms we're on. But watch this space!
I'd love to hear how the pomodoro timers go for you, let me know!
I'd love to use this to experiment with different productivity strategies (pomodoro, etc) and see which ones work best!
@derekpankaew Totally! We want to build experiments into the app at some point, so you can take actions and we will automatically assess their effectiveness for you. That would be so cool.
What I love about Magicflow is that it's actionable. Most productivity apps just show you if you or aren't productive. Magicflow goes one stup further and tells you what to do to become productive.
@mlejva Exactly why we built it! We want to go beyond just tracking what you already know!
This looks super cool! As someone who very often struggles with focus and context switching, I think Magicflow could be helpful indeed.
@jmckinven Thanks James, it's the biggest struggle of the information age in my opinion! We want to help people really zone in and get their best work done, despite having the whole internet at their fingertips!
This is really exciting! As a founder, it's so easy to get distracted and take hours before getting into flow. Love being able to track this!!
@naderlikeladder Thanks Nader! Totally agree, that's exactly what led us to building Magicflow. Way too easy to go down the wrong rabbithole!
Congratulation on the Product Hunt Launch! It is a very interesting idea to integrate Apple Health, and it is great to see something new being implemented. I hope this will improve its UX in the area of labels. The first time, screen prompts helped, but the issue is seeing it and feeling it. Good Luck
@artfloriani Sure thing! We have a whole page on it during our onboarding. The main thing is that by default, all titles and URLs are kept locally and never leave your device, because we do all our categorisation on the device. This is a huge huge win for privacy. Only the high-level categories of things your doing go to our server, so we can give you insights into how they shape your day.
Beyond that we store the data double-encrypted in the cloud, once by the database, once by us. Because we're a subscription company, we already have revenue so we will never need to, and promise never to, monetise your data.
Hope that helps!
@sachaker Definitely the new insights we're developing, and richer social features. We're going to be doing predictive modelling so we can show you what tomorrow might look like given what you do today. We also want to launch some more groups features and generally improve that side of the app!
@mattcrail Thanks! Next we have Windows and Android, better insights and integration of sleep and fitness data, more social features, integration of weather and location data, the list goes on! Experiments?
We're going to be the best platform to track and improve your productivity and life!
@payam_saremi Thanks Payam, let me know how it goes! Feel free to DM me at @michaeljellly or @magicflowHQ on Twitter
I am definitely the type of person that sometimes struggles losing focus when switching between tasks. Looking forward to giving Magicflow a try and to track what's really distracting me.
I've been using it and it's great. With so many distractions this makes me accountable for how I'm spending my time!
@oscar_rojas_guerrero Thanks Oscar! Exactly what we're aim for! Focus and accountability
Love this. Needed more than ever, i'm context switching all day and don't have enough visibility over it. Also, big fan of the Magicflow team, have been super impressed with their early work. Excited to see this rocket ship take off!
@1upm Thanks Mario! Excited to have you onboard in the app. Taking this ship to the moooon!
Can't wait to start using this!!! Also love the integration with sleep data - definitely feel that is a hidden blocker to my productivity ("countered" by lots of caffeine top-ups).
@james_lloyd3 Totally agree - it's all about getting the full picture and that's what we're trying to do here! Ironically I'm here at 4am drinking redbull! hahaha
Love the idea of this product with its ability to track the time we spend on distracting platforms and directly give me feedback on how I behave/perform. With what operating systems/browsers is your app/website compatible?
@luca_m_berger Thanks very much! It's compatible with MacOS, but we're going to be launching Windows very very soon - we already have it working we're just testing and working through the kinks!
