FlowTrak · published
Dear flow friends, I've been quietly polishing FlowTrak for months. Listening to your feedback, refining features, adjusting the rhythm of work and rest. Here's what's new. Steam knows which games you play — but what about the non-Steam apps that fill your day? Coding in VS Code, editing in Premiere, designing in Figma, browsing, reading. Where does all that time go? FlowTrak was built to answer that question. It automatically tracks how long you spend in every application on your PC and connects app activity, focused tasks, and Steam Rich Presence into a timeline you can look back on. The Next Fest Demo is live now — all core features are available to try.
FlowTrak silently tracks how long you use each application, intelligently distinguishing active usage from idle time. Everything is stored locally with encryption — no data uploaded to any server (optional Steam Cloud sync will be available in the full version).
Dashboard: total usage time, focus score, and top apps at a glance
App management with automatic detection — get started without manual setup
Track app time by category with support for custom date ranges
Session timeline: replay your day's app switching frame by frame
This is FlowTrak's signature feature. It syncs your current app, playing music, task status, and timer state to your Steam Rich Presence in real time — letting friends know what you're doing, not just what you're playing.
Display your current app, now-playing music, latest task, and timer status
Emojify Presence: auto-adds emoji to your Steam status text
Three display modes: merged, carousel, and automatic switching
One-click privacy mode (enabled by default — toggle it on to show window titles)
