About Fliper

Fliper builds focus habits around a physical gesture: you place the phone face down to start a focus session and pick it up to stop. Sessions follow the Pomodoro technique with structured focus and break periods, and gentle notifications only arrive when a focus or break session ends.

Progress appears in clean charts of focus time and habits, sessions can be tagged by category or activity, and focus streaks, completed Pomodoro blocks and achievements encourage consistency. Updates added a focus map that uses location, the option to launch sessions manually and a Pomodoro timer.

The app runs on iPhone and iPad, is free to download with in-app purchases and is listed in Productivity. The developer has acknowledged feedback about notification delays in an earlier version and said improvements were coming.
