The narration, in order. The captions are the same lines at the same times.

1. 0:00

   This is Flowo, a day planner for days that don't go to plan.

2. 0:06

   In the next three minutes you'll see how to empty your head into Flowo,

3. 0:11

   turn it into a schedule that fits the hours you actually have,

4. 0:16

   and rebuild the day in one tap when something runs over.

5. 0:21

   Start by telling Flowo about your week.

6. 0:24

   Type it the way you'd say it:

7. 0:27

   work nine to six, Monday to Friday, school pickup at three fifteen.

8. 0:32

   Flowo asks a few short questions,

9. 0:41

   then builds a draft week.

10. 0:43

    Sleep, meals and anything fixed go in first.

11. 0:48

    Your tasks fill the time that's left.

12. 0:53

    Next, the brain dump.

13. 0:55

    Open Thoughts and write whatever is on your mind, in any order.

14. 1:00

    Call the landlord.

15. 1:05

    Fall budget.

16. 1:08

    Field trip form.

17. 1:11

    Nothing needs a folder or a date yet.

18. 1:16

    When you're ready, tap Tidy Up.

19. 1:20

    Flowo sorts the list into to-dos and notes,

20. 1:25

    and you decide what becomes a task.

21. 1:35

    Some tasks are too big to start.

22. 1:38

    Open one and ask Flowo to break it down.

23. 1:45

    You get smaller steps, each with a time estimate you can edit.

24. 1:49

    Keep the ones that make sense and delete the rest.

25. 1:54

    Now look at today.

26. 1:56

    Every task has a place on the grid,

27. 1:59

    around the client call at eleven and the pickup at three fifteen.

28. 2:06

    Tap any block to see why it landed there, or edit it.

29. 2:10

    The plan is a suggestion you control.

30. 2:15

    Then the day changes.

31. 2:17

    The call runs long, and the client deck no longer fits before noon.

32. 2:22

    Flowo marks it No room instead of letting the deadline slip quietly.

33. 2:28

    Open it, and Flowo offers options: move the deadline, or leave it as is.

34. 2:34

    Pick one, see exactly what moves, and accept.

35. 2:44

    Pickup and dinner keep their times.

36. 2:48

    That's the loop: dump, plan, rebuild.

37. 2:53

    Flowo is free to start on iPhone and Android, with no account to create.
