It simply works, unfortunately the new interface became weak, hiding many great features behind several clicks.

I just registered. But I will comment BEFORE using it.
I would like to share some thoughts I always have regarding productivity tools in general.
Basically: I love them. The problem is that the space is too crowded and I am generally afraid of them becoming a (one more) procrastination factor.
Would I try this if I had not seen the @chrismessina amazing comment? Maybe not.
I am working with Todoist + Session and in general it works pretty fine for me.
But I guess I love to procrastinate trying new stuff :)
See you later!
@chrismessina@ivan_fanego So excited to hear what you think. Our guide Noah will remind you next time you visit PH during a flow session with a gentle British accent asking you whether "Producthunt can wait". See you in Flow!

@chrismessina@ulf_schwekendiek I liked a lot the first impression. 15 mins, it was not the moment. Heading later for a flow ;)

Around a week ago, I went over to my friend's house for a quick study session. After setting up all my books, I opened Centered and was greeted by a friendly voice asking me if I was ready to Flow (good old Noah!). My friend nudged me at that moment, a bit confused - What was this software? Our study session was already supposed to boost productivity. I then launched into a spiel about Centered and all its amazing features - the task-tracking, the Flow coach, the binaural beats - and she was still a bit confused, but she nodded along. One hour later, she asked me for the download link so she could install Centered on her own laptop.
Centered is truly a game-changer when it comes to productivity. As a student, I can attest that it is indispensable for battling distractions and meeting your daily objectives; it is one of those products that you can't live without once you embed it into your workflow. (Also, the team at Centered is amazing! They are so receptive to feedback, and it's been a pleasure connecting with @steven_puri and @ulf_schwekendiek !) If you're on the fence about trying out Centered, I urge you to give it a shot! Promise you won't regret it! :)
Centered is my favorite productivity hack, so much so that I gifted it to our entire team! It's a total game changer, especially when everyone is working from home where there could be a million distractions all the time. Centered keeps me sane and productive. You should try it out if you haven't.

@jerry_li2 We are so grateful to have you and your team part of our Centered movement! Thank you for your beautiful praise. We look forward to keeping you Centered!🙏
Believe it or not, Centered kind of helped me get out of a procrastination rut! I love it already and will definitely get premium. Would love to see it integrate with ClickUp/Notion in the future so I don't have to manually add tasks
@praneet_rohida1 We're working on deeper integrations into Clickup and Notion and some others, but in the meantime we parse Notion and Things3s TODO format:
First, I’d like to thank @chrismessina and thank him for hunting us. I’m excited the day has come when we’re on Product Hunt!
I founded Centered because the world has gotten so full of distractions and intrusive notifications and I wanted to create a tool to help me focus and get through my work more quickly and healthier.
My team and I built Centered as a Flow State app with:
✅ Simple and Elegant Task Management
✅ Beautiful Flow Music
✅ Virtual Coaching to keep you on track
✅ Notification Blocking and Do-Not-Disturb mode (mac only)
✅ Analytics so you can improve
You run Centered on your laptop or desktop whenever you are working and it creates a beautiful bubble of focus around you.
Our early users are finishing their tasks 30% faster than they estimate, and I’d love to hear from you about your experience.
To get started, just download the desktop app and sign up for a free month of Premium using the Promo Code ➡️HUNT⬅️.
See you in Flow!
When I need to get something done, I’m using Centered! I’ve tried hundreds of “productivity apps” but few have actually impacted my true ability to get things done like getting into the flow state with Centered. From the focus inducing music, to friendly nudges and distraction blocking, it’s my favorite work companion.
Also this team ships fast! The beta community is engaged with constructive feedback and it shows up in the weekly product updates. Keep it up @ulf_schekendiek and team! 🚀
@edmund_carroll grateful to have you part of our Centered movement!! It's been wonderful to Flow with you.

Before Centered, I tried toggl, manual time tracking, using my fitbit timer and so many others to help me stay on track and get work done within a set amount of time. I've been using Centered for a month and love the process working with it. It's been an integral part of my deep work sessions.
The lists of todos are so easy to set up, delete and if need be, make a task recurring. That's it. No crazy extensive features, just the essential in a seamless experience with a pretty dashboard.
The flow sessions are simple, I choose what I'll do and estimate the time it'll take and start. If I need more time, I add it. If I'm over time, I'll get a verbal reminder from a nice voice. There are also reminders to take breaks and getting ready for the next session.
I love how it has exactly everything I need, without additional noise or a focus on trying to do more work just for the sake of. Being more effective is definitely a side effect however.
There are additional time tracking stats that you can access and if you're into social accountability, you can see who is flowing at the same time as you!
In all, thank you to the Centered team for making this and looking forward to what you'll do next :D
