We got called out for being dropshippers. Honestly? It’s a fair comment. You CAN find something that looks exactly like our Pomodoro Timer on AliExpress for ~$10. So what gives? Well here’s why it’s not what it seems… We first discovered it at the Canton Fair a couple of years ago. Minimal design. Two timers. It instantly felt like something that could work for our brand. But there was one big problem: It didn’t actually function as a Pomodoro timer. There was no automatic switch between focus and break. You had to manually restart it every time… which completely breaks your flow. So we worked directly with the original factory to rebuild the firmware and add continuous Pomodoro mode ourselves. The one feature that turns it from a basic timer into a legit focus tool. Yes, that means the case design isn’t ours. And we want to be fully transparent about that. But the internals? That’s where we went deep: → Rewriting the firmware → Stress-testing every batch → QA checks in both Shenzhen and Melbourne And yeah, cheaper versions exist. But at $10 on AliExpress, there’s no way those are quality tested or using the same parts we are. And without the Pomodoro mode? They’re just glorified kitchen timers. That first version taught us a lot. Now we’re building the Flow Timer completely from scratch: 100% original case, custom firmware, and feedback from thousands of users baked in. It’s almost ready.
