Everything you need to know about Syncflow. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Reach out.
Syncflow is a productivity tool that uses AI to break any goal into small, actionable steps called crumbs. It then serves them to you one at a time in a focused, swipe-based flow — so you stop overthinking and start finishing.
To-do lists give you 15 items and no direction. Syncflow gives you one crumb at a time, with time estimates, dependencies, and a progress bar. It's the difference between seeing the whole mountain and just the next step.
Anyone who struggles with turning big goals into action. Students writing theses, freelancers managing client projects, developers planning sprints, or anyone who procrastinates because they don't know where to start.
Anything that can be broken into steps: launching a podcast, building a landing page, writing a thesis, planning a wedding, migrating a database, preparing a presentation. If it feels overwhelming as one big goal, Syncflow handles it.
Not in the traditional sense. Syncflow is focused on individual execution — turning your goals into a flow you can actually follow. It's not about Gantt charts and team boards. It's about you finishing what you start.
Yes. Syncflow sends a daily email with your next crumb and one-click Done/Skip buttons. You can also export crumbs to your calendar as .ics events. No app install needed.
Focus Flow is a swipe-based interface that shows you one crumb at a time. Swipe right (or press spacebar) to mark done, swipe left to skip. No distractions, no list paralysis — just the next step.
You describe your goal in plain language. The AI analyzes it and breaks it into ordered crumbs with realistic time estimates, prerequisite mapping, and research tips. You can refine every crumb before starting.
Absolutely. After decomposition you get a full editor — rename crumbs, adjust time estimates, reorder steps, delete what doesn't fit, and add your own. The AI gives you a starting point; you make it yours.
Every morning, Syncflow sends you an email with your next crumb and one-click Done/Skip buttons. You can complete tasks right from your inbox without opening the app. Available on the Basic plan.
Complete at least one crumb per day to build your streak. Your dashboard shows your current streak, longest streak, and daily completions. Miss a day and it resets. Simple motivation that works.
Yes. One click generates an .ics file that turns every crumb into a calendar event with the estimated duration. Works with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook.
An auto-generated standup summary of what you completed and what's next. Click 'Copy standup', paste it in Slack or your standup tool, and you're done in 2 seconds.
When you finish a task, you can save it as a template. Next time you do something similar — say, another client onboarding or sprint kickoff — you skip the AI step and reuse your proven plan.
The AI provides realistic estimates based on the complexity of each crumb. You track actual time as you go, and over time you can see whether you tend to over- or under-estimate — helping you plan better.
Free plan includes 5 AI decompositions per month with Focus Flow mode and calendar export. Basic is €0.99/mo for unlimited decomposition, daily crumb emails, research tips, and full API access. Premium is coming soon.

Yes. No lock-in contracts. Cancel from your settings page and you keep access until the end of your billing period. As an EU-based company, we also honor the 14-day right of withdrawal.
We want Syncflow to be accessible. The Basic plan uses your own AI key, so our infrastructure costs stay low. You get unlimited power for less than a coffee. Premium (coming soon) will include built-in AI credits for those who don't want to manage keys.
You can bring your own key from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Groq (free), or Grok. You choose the provider and model. Groq is free and works great for most tasks. No vendor lock-in.
Yes. Syncflow is built on enterprise-grade infrastructure (Vercel + MongoDB Atlas) with encrypted connections, secure authentication via NextAuth.js, and optional WebAuthn/passkey support. We're GDPR-compliant and based in the Netherlands.
Your API key is stored encrypted in our database and is only used server-side to make decomposition requests on your behalf. It's never exposed to the client or shared with third parties.
Yes. The public REST API lets you create tasks, decompose them, manage crumbs, and fetch stats programmatically. Authenticate with a personal API token generated from your settings. Full docs at syncflow.me/docs/api.
Yes. Syncflow has an MCP server that integrates directly with Claude Code. Run npx @syncflow/mcp-server, add your API key, and manage tasks, decompose goals, and mark crumbs done — all from your terminal.
Yes. Since Syncflow has a REST API, you can connect it to Zapier, n8n, Make, or any automation platform that supports HTTP requests. Trigger workflows when tasks complete, sync crumbs with other tools, or build custom automations.
Yes. Use export templates to format crumbs as Jira, GitHub, or Linear tickets. Copy-paste them manually or automate the process via the API. Custom export templates let you match your team's format exactly.
You can push task data to Obsidian or Notion via the API and automation tools like Zapier or n8n. The daily digest also works great as a daily note in any knowledge management tool.
