What is Flow Club?
Flow Club runs live virtual coworking sessions where you work alongside other people to stay focused. Each session opens with a check-in on what you plan to do, then everyone works through a timed, muted block and shares progress at the end. Sessions last from 30 minutes to 3 hours, hold up to 9 people, and are led by volunteer hosts from the community. You join from your computer, with your camera on or off, and there are chat-only sessions too.
Pros
- Structured sessions with a check-in, a timer and a wrap-up
- Session lengths from 30 minutes to 3 hours
- Camera optional, with chat-only sessions too
Cons
- A paid subscription after the free trial
- Sessions run at set times, so you work to the group's schedule
Who should use Flow Club
Remote workers, students and freelancers who focus better when other people are working at the same time.
Who may not need it
People who already focus well alone or prefer an unstructured coworking call.
