I love the scheduled group sessions when I can get to them. The nature of my work day with many meetings and calls throughout however left me missing out. But I have been living in the lounge lately and it’s perfect for me. I still get the focus when I sit to focus. And I still get the camaraderie and support of high-fives and seeing other people Getting Shit Done™️ I’m so happy this is live, and can’t wait to see further development down this path.
Hey Product Hunt!
10 months ago, we launched Flow Club here. You flocked to the service and made it a vibrant and inspiring space to enhance your focus, get motivated, and feel like you’re not just working on your own but alongside other ambitious and inspiring folks. The media got it as well. Journalists from Slate, ComputerWorld, Fast Company, etc have written about their experiences doing “virtual co-working” in Flow Club. The tl;dr? They were surprise by how effective it is to work this way.
Today we’re taking that idea even further with the Flow Club Lounge. The Lounge brings the same social accountability to a focus-inducing space you can access any time, from anywhere, without needing to join one of our live sessions, although you totally should still try the live sessions.
Here’s how the lounge works:
1. 🚪Enter the Lounge - anytime you need a gentle push to get work done.
2. 🎯Write down your goals - the smaller and more specific they are, the better.
3. 👀See who else is also working right now, send them a high five, and pump each other up!
4. ⏱Play the playlist, start the timer, and let's start working!
5. 🖐As you knock check things off, everyone else can see and high five you, keep it up.
6. 🧘Timer ends, take a break and start again.
The Product Hunt community has been especially meaningful to us because early adopters like you provide the necessary “oxygen” for makers like us to iterate towards something meaningful. To thank you, we’re offering the first 200 from Product Hunt early access invites to skip the waitlist and try Flow Club free.

@rickyyean this is fantastic and such a great new update! Congrats to the team for all the hard work and thank you for continuing to find new ways to remove loneliness from remote work!
@rickyyean Congratulations on the launch!
Flow Club could be addressing the need-gap: 'Focus drift' - https://needgap.com/problems/93-... posted on my problem validation forum.
You're welcomed to explain how Flow Club addresses that problem, So those who need Flow Club can find it easily.
Congrats Ricky! Paraphrasing Naval "Startup opportunities abound, it is the desire to do the work that is scarce." Flow Club helps remove that scarcity!
Flow Club is so so good. I think I’m genuinely addicted to it. I mostly spend my work days going back to back in flow club sessions. I get ungodly amounts of work done.
Flow Club Generally is a game-changer and Flow Club Lounge is a nice addition to get flow anytime you want.
I have attended over 800 sessions and spent over 1K hours in flow club in less than a year. It's transformative.
I can get into hyper-productive flow reliably.
Game-changer for people who value performance, community and wellness.
Special shoutout to @rickyyean@dtran320@haleybryant and the rest of the team for bringing this product into the world and their strong focus on execution and excellence.
I love the Flow Club lounge experience! I can't always make the scheduled Flow Clubs so I like that there is an option where I can drop in any time and still get some of the benefits of accountability of a live session
I've been an occasional visitor to the lounge over the past few weeks (usually when there's not a seat in a session available or when I need a little jolt of productivity but don't have a whole hour).
It's nice.
Part of what makes Flow Club work is the light layer of social support people who aren't your boss, aren't your coworkers, and who you don't necessarily need to impress. The lounge has an even lighter-weight version of that, where there's a subtle newsfeed of people completing tasks, and the ability to virtually high-five people, so you feel like you're in there with other people. It also has a cultivated playlist from one of the hosts, and listening to something different helps make a tough task go faster too.
I find the regular Flow Club to be absolute magic a few times a week. This is a nice supplement to it. Good job, y'all.
The Flow Club lounge helps me add structure when I unexpectedly have free time in the day, want to run through a few quick things on my to do list or need help getting started on a bigger project. Thanks for building this!!
I was skeptical when my friend first introduced me to Flow.club, but after trying it a few times, I was amazed by how much it boosted my productivity. The biggest productivity hack ever! People are really friendly and supportive. Who knew that working with a few strangers was all it takes to focus and stay in the flow!
The product has been evolving quickly as well. I love the new feature: lounge. Super helpful when I just need a quick productivity boost for smaller tasks.
