Abstract: In this note, we establish certain regularity estimates for the spinor flow introduced and initially studied in cite{AWW2016}. Consequently, we obtain that the norm of the second order covariant derivative of the spinor field becoming unbounded is the only obstruction for long-time existence of the spinor flow. This generalizes the blow up criteria obtained in cite{Sc2018} for surfaces to general dimensions. As another application of the estimates, we also obtain a lower bound for the existence time in terms of the initial data. Our estimates are based on an observation that, up to pulling back by a one-parameter family of diffeomorphisms, the metric part of the spinor flow is equivalent to a modified Ricci flow.
