In their own words
FLOWN
FLOWN is an online coworking platform built around focus sessions intended to support concentration and accountability. It offers facilitator-led Power Hour sessions lasting one hour and Deep Dives lasting two hours, along with a Drop-In focus room open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The private Focus Room is an on-demand browser space where friends can work together in real time. Sessions include guided daily and weekly Take-Off planning, as well as recharge activities that may involve meditation, movement, breathwork or mindfulness. Members can host community sessions; public hosting becomes available after attending 30 or more sessions. An iCal link adds sessions to calendars, and FLOWN provides instructions for joining Zoom-based sessions. FLOWN is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows, and can be installed as a Progressive Web App from supported browsers; its help page recommends Chromium-based browsers. The free plan includes four community sessions per month, all on Fridays. A lifetime membership costs $900, paid once. A 30-day trial is also listed.
