Most task planners treat time as the only variable. But anyone who’s tried to force deep work into a 3 pm energy slump knows: time is not enough.

Traditional planning apps assume that productivity is linear throughout the day—but in reality, our energy, focus, and creativity fluctuate in cycles. Planning without considering these personal rhythms leads to burnout, procrastination, or shallow work.

I'm building Peak Flow, an energy-based task planning app powered by AI. It learns your unique daily focus and energy patterns and automatically schedules your tasks—whether it's deep work, creative projects, admin, or meetings—at the times when you're naturally best suited to tackle them.

The goal is to help people get more done without pushing harder—by working with their energy, not against it.

This will also help me with understanding the demand of this product.

Thanks for the suggestion. Thats super interesting. Gamification does help with more engagement with the app. Will try to work on this after the first version :)

Thats a good idea. Thanks for the feedback.

For a first version, i imagine relying on week's data of user logs and pattern would be a good start. If can potentially iron out other factors that can affect the energy levels.

Yeah i see what you are saying. Will try to figure out if we can manage a basic version initially with as less data from user as possible yet still being effective and valuable to user.

Another fair point! The truth is, everyone’s ‘high energy’ is a little different. What my period of high energy is could be very different from yours. Its highly personalized hence we would require the user input here, what they think works best for them. Get their feedback on their energy levels through the day (asking them few times a day) and then sort of predict their high-productive hours for them to schedule their most important work during that time. Let me know if this sounds stupid or if it makes some sense.

Those are valid points. Here would be my simple approach (tell me if you think it doesn't make sense or needs some adjustments):

Short, occasional check-ins: The app could nudge you (maybe just once in the morning, afternoon, and evening for a week) to rate how you’re feeling, with a tap or two — think 2 seconds, not 2 minutes.

Learn from your habits: After this “trial week,” the app would look for patterns. For example, if you usually feel sharp at 10am, that gets noted. No need to keep checking in all the time.
