See what your to-do list can't show you — bottlenecks, overcommitment, and where your time is really going
"A full-featured & polished app that addresses some core challenges I've had with OmniFocus for years."
Workflow visualization for task management: customisable columns, swimlanes, WIP limits and visual indicators. Seeing and limiting your work in progress helps you maintain focus and understand progress at a glance.
Effortlessly move tasks between workflow stages using drag-and-drop. Prioritise your work by reordering tasks, columns and swimlanes to match how you work, while all changes sync seamlessly with your task manager.
An AI assistant that helps you refine tasks, break down work, and plan next steps — all without leaving the board.
Most Kanban tools stop at columns and cards. Flowcus goes further — it watches how your work behaves over time and tells you what needs attention.
Every task manager has a graveyard — tasks you added with good intentions that quietly fell off your radar. They sit there for weeks, collecting dust, weighing on you without you realising it.
Ghost Detection finds them automatically. It flags tasks that have gone stale, slipped backward, or stayed vague too long — so you can deal with them, delegate them, or drop them before they pile up.
Taking on too much at once is the fastest way to slow down. When every column is overflowing, nothing moves — you just shuffle tasks around feeling busy without making progress.
WIP limits cap how many tasks each column can hold. When you hit the limit, Flowcus alerts you — a simple nudge to finish what you've started before pulling in more work. Less juggling, more completing.
Most task managers show your work as a flat list — either 'to do' or 'done'. But that's not how work actually happens. Tasks get blocked, wait on other people, or move through stages before they're finished. You need to see not just what needs doing, but where things are, why they're stuck, and what matters most. Flowcus borrows from lean and kanban — methods built for flow, not inventory — and applies them to personal productivity.
Lists make it hard to:
Flowcus adds visual task intelligence on top of the task manager you already use. It gives you:
Flowcus doesn't replace your task manager — it adds the visual task intelligence you've been missing to see what's really going on with your work.
Flowcus is a task management app for macOS that brings your tasks together on a Kanban board so you can see what matters, what's stuck, and where to focus. It integrates with OmniFocus, Things, Todoist, and TaskPaper. Beyond the board, Flowcus includes Radar (which surfaces the tasks you should focus on), Ghost Detection (which finds neglected or vaguely defined work), rule-based automation, and an AI-powered Sidekick.
Flowcus integrates with OmniFocus (Pro edition), Things, Todoist, and TaskPaper. You can use multiple sources simultaneously and visualise tasks from all of them together on a single board.
After installing Flowcus, launch it and follow the onboarding guide. To connect OmniFocus, Things, Todoist, or TaskPaper, go to Settings → Sources and enable the integration you want. Flowcus will prompt you to grant the necessary permissions.
