flowstate
an ADHD music generator — a quick tour
The basics
- Drag the orb to play notes — left/right shifts the chord, up/down changes octave and filter brightness
- Tap the orb to mute or unmute it
- + button adds a satellite orb (up to 8)
- − button removes the most recent satellite
Tap an orb to open its panel
Voice (timbre):
- p pad — warm sustain
- l pluck — kalimba
- b bell — glassy ring
- m marimba — woody
- s saw — bright lead
- v voice — your recording (long-press to record / re-record)
Speed dots:
- Smallest dot = slowest (4n quarter notes)
- Largest dot = fastest (32n)
Brightness slider:
- Per-orb volume — drag low for ambient, high for lead
Key & mode
- Tap KEY ▾ in the bottom row to cycle through 12 chromatic keys
- Switch between major / minor / pentatonic at the bottom
- Every orb stays locked to your chosen key — no wrong notes
Pair orbs together
- Drag a satellite onto the main orb — they snap into a binary star
- Pairs share the same chord but layer different timbres (e.g. pad + bell = ambient cathedral)
- Move the main orb and the pair travels together
- Yank apart hard to detach
Layers & focus
- bass / noise — layer a Reese drone or a brown-noise bed under the orbs; each has its own volume slider
- tempo — calm 70 · flow 92 · energize 115, glides smoothly when switched
- calm — stills the background motion (follows your system's reduced-motion setting automatically; the button overrides it)
- timer — tap cycles 15 / 25 / 45 / off, hold to start. A quiet ring fills around the main orb; one soft bell at the end. Hold again to cancel
- share — copies a link that recreates your exact flow on any device
- Your session saves itself — look for resume your last flow on the start screen
Record
- ● button records the current performance
- Tap ● again to stop and download as .webm — plays in any browser or audio app
- A matching .mid file downloads too — drop it straight into your DAW
