Flow · Notice what pulls you, commit to what matters

Notice what pulls you.
Commit to what matters.

Ideas, invitations, side projects, people you'd like to work with: they show up all the time, and most slip away. Flow keeps them next to the goals they serve, so you can see which ones excite you most and decide, calmly, which to commit to.

How it works

Name your goals

What you're working toward: a book, a healthier year, a living from your craft. Each opportunity belongs to one.

Note what shows up

Write it down in a line. Rate how much it excites you and how close it is to the goal, and name the values it speaks to.

Decide, then act

Move it from noticed to exploring to committed, and keep a short log of what you did about it.

What Flow doesn't do

No deadlines, no nagging. Excitement is the strongest signal, so the most exciting opportunities rise to the top. Nothing turns red because you looked away for a week.

No feeds, no ads, no tracking. Your goals are a private journal. Each account sees only its own.

No lock-in. A plain JSON API and a command-line tool let your scripts and AI agents read and add to your Flow, with a token you can revoke.

Two ways to use it

Hosted

Run it yourself

Free, on your own server. Your data never leaves it: one SQLite file in one Docker volume.

Download compose.yaml into a folder on a server with Docker.
Run docker compose up -d.
Put HTTPS in front of it (Tailscale or your reverse proxy) and open it. The first account is yours.

mkdir flow && cd flow
curl -O https://flow.humantech.ch/compose.yaml
docker compose up -d

Updates: docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. Email, sign-ups and the address go in a .env file; the comments in compose.yaml list them.
