Focus Dude !!! 🧘‍♀️

A simple chrome extension that helps you stay focused when you work with your computer on the web.

It is easy to lose focus when working on the web because there are so many distractions that are available!

So to help you prevent your future productivity from decreasing, you just have to activate the Focus Mode! by using FOCUS DUDE!!! extension ✌️

I have a problem consuming too much HackerNews 😅 (read my full story), so I build this extension for me to stop that bad habit.

Demo

Functionalities (when activated):

✅ Block a predefined list of distracting websites (Facebook, Twitter, HackerNews...)

✅ Motivating shitty quotes for you to get back to work 💪

✅ Regex support

✅ By definition, it is a simple extension.

Future plan

this is not important. But if there is a high demand, I'll do it.

✅ Timeout (maybe, I don't know)
