Flow Arch is an Arch-based operating system built for extreme
productivity. Unlike other distros designed to keep you
engaged, Flow Arch is designed to get you into a "flow state"
and respect your time. Built on the fluid Hyprland
compositor, it offers a distraction-free, tiling window
manager environment out of the box.
The core philosophy is simple: Urgency drives focus. Flow
Arch forces you to set intentions immediately upon login. It
features system-level Pomodoro timers that don't just suggest
breaks—they enforce them by locking your screen, ensuring you
recover. For the most disciplined, an auto-shutdown feature
turns your PC off when your session timer expires, creating a
hard deadline for your tasks.
Combined with OS-level ad-blocking and dynamic web filtering,
Flow Arch eliminates digital noise so you can focus on what
matters. Join the 1% who prioritize output over engagement.
