Why is it so impossible to focus these days? We all struggle with it. The non-stop pings and demands shatter our attention before we can hit our stride, blocking that deep flow state. That constant context switching doesn't just drain our energy; it's actively killing our best work.

Ready for a real change? It's time.

groundflow is engineered to eliminate context switching and keep you laser-focused on your most important work. We go beyond simple focus: the app is your personal coach, delivering clear, scientific insights based on your own data so you can finally master deep work.

And we do it all with complete respect for your privacy. Your data, your rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is groundflow?

groundflow is a focused-work companion that helps you eliminate context switching and reach deep work more consistently. It combines: Scientific Tracking to monitor your focus patterns and reveal optimal conditions; a Personal Lab that turns your workspace into a controlled, distraction‑free environment; and Adaptive Guidance that provides recommendations based on your actual work patterns and Flow states.

What exactly is a flow state?

A flow state is a mental state of complete absorption in a challenging task where you experience peak performance, deep focus, and effortless concentration. During flow, time seems to fly by and you feel fully immersed in the activity.

How does the brain work during flow states?

During flow, your brain down-regulates the Default Mode Network (responsible for mind-wandering and self-criticism) while activating the Task Positive Network (responsible for focused attention and goal-directed behavior).

What is context switching?

Context switching is the rapid shifting of attention between unrelated tasks or activities. It's one of the biggest enemies of flow states because it prevents the deep, sustained focus needed for peak performance. Every time you switch contexts, your brain needs time to refocus, leading to decreased productivity and mental fatigue.

What is the challenge-skill balance in flow?

The challenge-skill balance is the "sweet spot" where a task is slightly more difficult than your current skill level (about 4% more challenging). This prevents boredom (too easy) and anxiety (too difficult), creating optimal conditions for flow.
