FluxTimeGive every priority a place in your day.
Time blocking means giving each task a slot on the calendar instead of a spot on a list. In FluxTime that happens on the Today timeline: tasks beside your calendar events, protected time blocked out, and what you actually did right underneath.

What is time blocking?
Instead of working down a list and hoping it fits, you decide when each thing happens and put it on the calendar. The limit becomes visible: there are only so many hours, and every task has to find one.
Block off what's taken
Meals, commutes and breaks go on first, so nothing gets planned on top of them.
02 / BOUNDSet your work hours
Draw the hours you work once; planning stays inside them every day.
03 / PLACEGive tasks a slot
Drag tasks into free time beside your events, then move or resize them as the day shifts.
04 / COMPARECheck against reality
Recorded time shows behind the plan, so you can see where the day went.
Block out the time that isn't up for grabs.
Drag across an empty stretch of the calendar and choose what it becomes: a task, an event, a reminder or a block. A block is time you take off the table. It shows as a striped band, and Plan my day and auto-scheduling leave it alone.
Drag to create
Draw a range on the grid, then pick Task, Event, Reminder or Block. The time is already filled in.
One-tap titles
Meal, Short Break and Commute are a tap away. The title is optional; an untitled block just reads Blocked.
Moves like an event
Select a block to drag it to another time or day, pull an edge to resize it, or double-click to edit it.
Draw your work hours once.
Tap Work Hours and draw the ranges you work right on the calendar, with a gap for lunch if you like. They repeat every day, and Plan my day fits tasks inside them instead of spilling into your evening.
Draw, don't type
On Mac, drag on the calendar. On iPhone and iPad, press and hold, then drag.
Adjust in place
Pull a range's handles to change it, or tap its × to remove it. Nothing is saved until you tap Done.
The edges of the plan
Plan my day schedules within your work hours, around events and the time you have blocked off.
See the plan and what really happened, on one grid.
Time blocks are a guess about the day. FluxTime shows the time you recorded in your journal on the same grid, as a quiet wash behind the planned cards, so you can see where the plan held and where the hours went somewhere else.
- 01Planned items are solid cards; recorded time is a soft wash in its category color
- 02Hours before the red line show what you recorded; hours after it, only the plan
- 03Gaps in the plan still show what filled them
Time blocking with FluxTime
What is time blocking?
Time blocking is a planning method where you give each piece of work its own slot on the calendar instead of keeping it on an undated list. Seeing the hours makes conflicts obvious and protects time for the work that matters.
Is FluxTime a time blocking app?
Yes. In the Today view, tasks sit on a timeline next to your calendar events. You can drag them into free slots, block out time you want to protect, and set the work hours your plan should stay inside.
What is a time block in FluxTime?
A block is time you take off the table, like a meal, a commute or a short break. It shows as a striped band on the calendar, and Plan my day and auto-scheduling keep that time free.
Is time blocking free?
Yes. Placing tasks on the timeline, blocking out time and setting work hours are part of the free app. Plan my day (smart day planning) and Apple Calendar integration are included in Flux Pro.
Can I use FluxTime on Mac and iPhone?
Yes. FluxTime runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Mac and iPad show the full week; iPhone shows one to three days at a time.
It all happens in Today.
Time blocking isn't a separate mode in FluxTime. You place tasks on the Today timeline, the same screen where you plan the whole day and where Flux AI suggests what to work on next. One view, so the plan and the blocks never drift apart.
Stop hoping the list fits.
Build a realistic, visual week with FluxTime on the Apple devices you already use.
