Push
It's raining. You're sharp and it's rare — so spend it on the thing that matters: the hard chapter, the real design work, the thinking you've been avoiding.
A weather forecast for your mind
Stop fighting the blank page on the days you can't win it.
Some hours your mind is built for deep, creative work. Others, forcing it is just guilt with extra steps. RecoveryFlow measures where you are right now — and tells you whether to push, coast, or walk away.
You've stared at a blank page and called it laziness. You've pushed through a fogged afternoon and produced nothing worth keeping. You've felt guilty for resting on the one day your mind was actually ready to fly.
It was never about discipline. It was about timing.
The cabbie's rule
A London taxi driver once explained his philosophy to the psychologist Kevin Dutton. When it rains, everyone wants a cab, so you drive twice as hard. When it's sunny, you don't bother — you kick back and enjoy it.
The mistake the rest of us make is driving at the same pace whatever the weather. Your mind has weather too — peaks and troughs that move with your sleep, your caffeine, the hour of the day. RecoveryFlow is the forecast.
What it tells you
Three answers, once a glance.
Open the app and it reads your state, then says — plainly — what this hour is for.
Coast
Overcast. Not your peak, but not wasted. Clear the inbox, do the admin, tick off the busywork that always needs doing — and save your best for later.
Rest
It's sunny. Your brain is off the clock, and grinding now just burns goodwill. Step away without the guilt — the words come back sharper for it.
How it knows
A forecast is only as good
as the instrument behind it.
Twice a day, a sub-four-minute check — tap when the screen turns, match a few symbols. That's it. From your own results it learns your patterns and forecasts the rest.
- Measured, not guessed. Real reaction-time tests, timed on your device to the millisecond — never a mood slider.
- Compared to you. Every reading is against your own baseline, so it catches the shifts that matter for you.
- Honest by design. It reads your state and predicts it. It never claims to train or boost your brain — and never will.
Who it's for
If your work lives or dies
by your best hours.
Writers and their blank pages. Designers, researchers, developers, founders — anyone who knows the difference between an hour that produces something real and an hour that just passes. RecoveryFlow helps you spend the good ones well, and stop wasting the bad ones trying.
