Softonic review

An app that punishes people for getting briefly distracted

Flowstate is an app for fiction writers. You set a time limit, and then you have to write for that amount of time. If you stop for more than five seconds, then all of your work is deleted and you cannot get it back. The idea is that it punishes people for getting distracted, but it also means innocent distractions such as phone calls may cause you to lose all your work. It is not suitable for people who need to stop and start writing in order to do their research.

  • Pros

    • Adds a sense of urgency to writing
    • Helps remove distractions from your computer
    • Time limits of 5 minutes, 15 and 30 minutes
    • Suitable for fiction writers
  • Cons

    • Makes stopping to research almost impossible
    • Doesn’t reward you for finishing early
    • Losing writing work is upsetting and an unfitting punishment
    • People cannot use the bathroom without losing work

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
