Great build quality. Limited options for sounds. Display is quite bright. Not sure how useful this is going to be. Still have to incorporate it fully into my work routine.
I bought 2. This one I use at the office. I love the automatic switch and the infinity option! The timer also feels like a high quality timer device. The simplicity is elegant. I also use the timer for my workouts at the office gym. Especially when an exercise is time based (i.e 3 minutes on/ 30 seconds break). The fact I don’t have use my phone also limits the risk of getting distracted by the phone. I have bought many timers over the years to assist my productivity or time tracking. This is one of my favorite for productivity due to the pomodoro auto cycle function no one else took the risk to invest in.
Absolutely fantastic device. It has change my working methodology, reducing my stress levels while keeping me as productive! Concentrate hard and reminding yourself to take regular breaks! Can’t recommend this enough!
Solid product. My only gripe that is preventing the full five stars is that the screen is super glossy and it shows the imperfections in the manufacturing process. It is most noticeable when it is off and just sitting at your desk. The edges where the screen is (glued?) on are indented ever so slightly that it shows the reflections as distorted. Still a great first run at a product and I will use it a lot!
Sent 2025-2026 monthly planner instead of 2026-2027..
I love it! I use it for practicing music, performing live to know when to take set breaks, and in my day job for a software company. I have the V1 as well, and this is a step up - especially with the charging dock and loop mode.
Really great build quality, nice and simple to use and it works great for helping me to focus on my work! As a designer myself I can tell the hard work that went into it has really paid off! Great product.
I like the style and heft of the card and pencil tray. The wood appears unfinished, and it has very rough edges.
It took a LOOONG time but it's so worth it. The quality is impeccable. Cold steelish finish and really easy to use. Very happy with my purchase.
I love this timer for my desk! Writing and admin tasks flow more smoothly when I set a dedicated time block for each thing on my to-do list. In a world where our attention is constantly being robbed, this is something I needed.
Good quality! Easy to use! Good customer experience!
So beautiful, so functional, so tactile!
Feels great in the hand. Tactile buttons, and love the scrolling on the wheel. Simple device, but sleek and solid. Happy with the purchase.
The timer has worked great so far! I have only charged it twice so far, and I have had about two weeks worth of use out of it. Now, a lot of that is standby time, but still about one week per charge is okay with my usage. It has really helped me focus on making sure I rotate my study appropriately between classes. I had a bad habit of spending hours on one class and never thinking about the others, and that always came back to bite me. Thie timer allows me to set a time, study for that alloted time, and then move on to the next topic after a brief break. Then, just continue to rotate. If I need to focus more on one class specifically, I can adjust for that. The point it, that this timer has helped me dial in my study habits and I feel like I have more well-rounded study sessions! Also, the aesthetics are great! I love my midnight black unit! the timer looks and feels SOLID too! Speaking of solid, this thing is built very well. The package it arrived in was all but demolished. the box was torn in one corner and it was crushed and crunched in. It looked like it had been dropped out of an airplane and into an active monster truck rally, only to be run over by Grave Digger. I was sincerely concerned that I was going to have to go through a troublesome claim issue with the post office and a return process with MDS. To my surprise, the timer was unphased. The internal packaging and tray that it was seated in too the brunt of the force and left the timer completely untouched. I inspected every millimeter of surface area for damage and didn't see a thing. The timer turned right on, the cradle was in ship-shape, and it all works well when plugged in! It charges and works just fine! I am doubtful that a lesser product would have arrived undamaged after seeing the condition of the box. If I could provide an idea for improvement, I would recommend adding some indicators to the front of the unit to reference the corresponding side buttons. I am scatter-brained and have trouble remembering which buttons do what on the side of the timer if I don't pick the timer up and look at it. You can see in my photo that I added two arrow stickers to the front of the timer to indicate that the side button right there is the up/down function. It isn't beautiful, but it works, and now I don't have to pick the timer up and look every time I want to swap from break to work when I don't remember which of the three buttons I need. Maybe MDS could laser engrave a reference indicator to the front, just left of the screen, in the spot where I have my stickers in Flow Timer 2.0. Thanks!
Easy to use and looks smart. Love the modular inserts and the tab dividers
I love how the flow timer looks and feels, and I’m even more impressed by how quickly it’s improved my focus and got me sticking to longer periods of productive work and breaks
It’s a nice device, but the screen seems pretty low quality. I’d expect a much higher quality LCD at this price. You can see from my photos that the screen is sort of wavy and not flat which makes it hard to read. It’s also super shiny which makes it even harder to read. I’m disappointed. I expected this to be much nicer than it actually is.
The timer is well made, thank you. A few things to improve though. The sound volume isn't high enough or it does not sound sometimes.
I'm neurodivergent and I find this timer helps me keep track of my focus, without being too jarring or distracting when it goes off. I like that I can set a custom preset - I prefer a 55/5 set up. The chime is noticeable enough that I can't miss it in a hyperfocus, but soft enough that it doesn't jolt me out of the zone either if I decide I want to ignore it. I also found the haptic qualities of the buttons pretty nice, and it feels nice and heavy as well.
As a Kickstarter backer of the Flow Timer project, I have followed the entire development journey of this product. In addition, the first unit I received was replaced with the latest version, which addresses some of the issues found initially. I am extremely satisfied with this Flow Timer. The MDS team has done an excellent job, showing great attention to the feedback provided by the people who received the product and taking their suggestions into account. I was truly impressed by the quality of the product and the many features it offers, making it versatile and suitable for a variety of uses. I use this Flow Timer during my daily sessions, and I have realized just how useful it is for organizing and managing my time more effectively.
I'm learning how to plan. I'm already enjoying it. Finally, I'll stop postponing things indefinitely :-)
Super handy for travel. High-quality material with a great finish.
Unit looks and performs great. Very thoughtful product design, and the team did an excellent job navigating launch bugs. They did the right thing by shipping updated replacement units at their expense, and the new unit is flawless.
This pencil truly needs no sharpening despite the heavy use it’s already gone through. I like the protective plastic cap it came with to protect what the tip could have touched in my tote bag when I haul the system about. The balance is great with the aluminum body. The pencil allows me to write without fear of making a mistake in pen. A bit light for me (comparable to a HB or #2) but it works well.
Who knew a minimalist tray would elevate my day? All I need for the day is vertical and in my face. My chaotic day caregiving tasks becomes sane for now. I can see this tray holding side gig tasks and time no problem. Not a fussy item: slots for the day’s cards and two slots for the carbon tip pencil and a pen or highlighter. I bought the birch; I like the lighter color in this drab home
Though I’m a newbie the learning curve to using this minimalist system helps organize my racing thoughts. I’m able to accomplish my weekly tasks and events, and the habit tracker monitors whether or not I’m practicing my daily tasks in line with my quarterly goals
After I received the new version it looks great! “Best pomodoro timer on the market!” Quote that ⬆️
Works great - love the quality. Nice finish. Happy with the tones, ease of functionality, and over aesthetic.
Really enjoying using the Flow Timer! Great design, simple to use, and I especially appreciated MDS’s transparency throughout the production journey. It’s been fun following along, and the timer has been a great addition to my desk and focus routine.
The chime, design, everything just works so nicely and in a stylish way. Love this timer! Plus, much respect for going back to fix some issues that arose and issuing replacements. They have earned a loyal customer!
This sounds like a load of exaggeration, but this timer is genuinely the most premium device I have ever held in my hands. There is SO MUCH heft to it. The aluminum body and finish feel extremely premium. Every single button has a wonderful tactile clicky feel to them. I love that there are enough buttons that I don't need to memorize some complex algorithm of pressing and holding to get to certain menus. The display is the star here. The two rows of numbers are clear and huge. This device... every single aspect of it has been crafted to be the ultimate and most luxurious pomodoro timer. I love that it doesn't try to be anything extra. There's no hygrometer function, no unnecessary Bluetooth pairing. It is just a f***ing good timer.
Stronger leds in display and a battery 🔋 🪫 icon that shows how much battery there is left.
I love the color, the wait has been worth it so far as it has a nice feel to it. It seems you guys have taken care of the product and I'm glad you took the time to fix everything and make the product better.
It has a nice weight and feel to it!
Great quality and weight, haven't still use it but it came as a gift for the purchase and I love it!
The color is beautiful and the quality of the leather seems go enough for the price!
The device is beautiful and sturdy. The metal material makes it exceptional. I use it not only for work, but also for cooking. The stopwatch is also good for my asana positions. :))
Très content d'avoir reçu le minuteur,très jolie et bien utile pour se structurer avec le temps,être productif. Merci 👍😀
Fantastic product. I have been with these guys since the start. How they developed their product and refined it to become the version it is speaks highly of them. It is a great tool in pride of place beneath my iMac. Believe me, anything on my desk has to earn it's place. And this little timer does that and more.
