Introduction
What the Flowline automatic time tracker does on Windows, who it is for, and the limits: no Mac build, no website blocker, no account.
Installation
Install the free Flowline time tracker on Windows 10 or 11, or build the open-source app from source with the setup:win script.
Browser extension
Load the optional Flowline Bridge extension in Chrome or Edge so automatic Windows time tracking splits by website domain.
Configuration
Edit Flowline categorization rules, daily deep-work goals, idle detection, and distraction alerts in the Windows time tracker.
How it works
How the Flowline time tracker watches the Windows foreground window, detects idle time, and stores app and browser time in local SQLite.
Privacy
Flowline stores Windows app and browser time in local SQLite, with no account, no screen recording, and no telemetry inside the desktop app.
