A day with flexor
It lives on your desktop.
A hello from a friend, a gift, a nudge to stand up, a word about the app you're in. Here's how a day goes.
a friend sends their mascot over to say hi. click it while it's there for 5 points.
Counts, not content
Go on, type something.
There's no text box here, and flexor doesn't have one either. It only ever learns that a key went down, which one, and in which hour. The words stay yours.

Gentle reminders for breaks, bedtime and your eyes. Capped, so they never nag.

Meet the cast
Nineteen little friends,
fifty-four things to wear.
Thumbo's yours from day one. The other eighteen turn up on the wheel with Plus, and any of them wears whatever you've found.
Sounds a bit like an AI? It isn't. There's no AI anywhere in flexor: every line it says was written ahead of time, nothing's made up as you go, and it keeps talking when you're offline.

Friends
Friends, a lot closer.
Add each other with a short code. Then pick a move, a line and a corner, and your mascot pops up on their screen to do it, the moment you send it.
- hellos with a move and a line, for a few points
- gifts from your own collection to theirs plus
- a little of your day for them to see: keys, streak, your fastest minute and more. each one turns off on its own
- moves of their own from the wheel: your visitor falls from the top of their screen, backs in bottom first, or just leans its head round the edge
- a green dot when they're at their Mac, amber when they've stepped away. yours to turn off
- quiet hours, so nothing pops up while you sleep

Your day, your keyboard, your rhythm.
today is free. your whole history and trends come with plus.
by day, in mint.after dark, in graphite. thirteen themes, each with its own night.
Up in the menu bar
A number by your clock. A right-click for the rest.
Today's count sits up by the clock, going up as you type. Click it and Flexor opens. Right-click it for the day so far, how far you are to your goal, and the quick switches: the chime, break reminders, a little quiet for a while.
Your keystrokes never leave your Mac.
Counts only
A number per key, per hour. Never the words.
No sign-up, no analytics
No email, no password, no tracking. Your points live on Flexor's server, so they're only what you earned.
Only friends and points go online
Your name and your mascot, how many keys each hour had (never which), and whatever of your day you leave on for friends to see.

Questions, answered.
No. It only keeps a count for each key, per hour. Never the text, and never what you wrote.
Your name and your mascot, and the bits of your day you leave on: today's keys, time at the computer, your streak, the week, your fastest minute, the app you're in most and how much of the collection you've found. The eye in your card's corner turns each one off on its own.
No, and there's no AI anywhere in Flexor. Everything it says was written ahead of time: for the app you're in, the hour, the weekday, how tired you are. Nothing you do is sent off to be read or answered.
Yes. Counting, tiredness, reminders, the dashboard and the mascot's chatter all carry on without the internet. Friends, points and the wheel need to reach Flexor's server, and pick up where they left off when you're back.
Input Monitoring, to count. Notifications, for reminders. Screen Recording only if you turn on softening bright screens, and nothing is ever saved.
It barely registers. Even with the dashboard open, it stays under about 3% CPU.
Flexor goes back to Free by itself. There's nothing to cancel, and everything you found or recorded stays.
Any Mac with macOS 15 or later. Apple silicon and Intel.
Because Flexor keeps growing. New characters, moves, outfits, lines and features keep coming.
