About Flux

Flux is built around named contexts: one per project, each holding the apps, URLs, files and notes that project needs. A hotkey switches context, and the intent is that everything belonging to the new one opens in a single action rather than a five-minute setup. Time tracking is part of it, logging hours per context as individual entries, so where the day went has an answer that is not a guess. Contexts are color-coded, driven from the keyboard, and can launch at login.

Who it's for

Developers and creatives who context-switch between projects multiple times a day.
