Hey
I want to share a Chrome extension I originally created for my own use,
but decided to launch publicly after friends showed interest.
It's called FocusBrew, and it combines three essential productivity tools:
1. Pomodoro timer: Stay focused with customizable work/break intervals
2. Task tracker: Keep your to-dos organized and visible
3. Site blocker: Eliminate distractions by blocking time-wasting websites
Why I made FocusBrew:
I couldn't find a single extension that combined these features effectively,
so I built one for myself.
When friends saw me using it and asked for a copy,
I realized it might be helpful for others too.
Key points about FocusBrew:
- It's completely free
- Doesn't save any personal data (privacy-focused)
- Seamlessly integrates Pomodoro, task tracking, and site blocking
- Clean, intuitive interface
- Customizable to fit your workflow
I'm looking for feedback from fellow productivity enthusiasts to help refine the extension and make it even more useful for the community.
Really love the concept! Have you considered porting to firefox (... he asked, selfishly)? I want to use this, and it almost makes me want to go to the trouble of switching browser, but... that's a big step for me...
In case it helps... ! https://extensionworkshop.com/do...
The extension is showing a disclaimer that it is not supported by advanced browsing experience.
I appreciate you sharing this with the community. it looks like a valuable tool for anyone looking to enhance their productivity!
I’ve been looking for something that combines task management and site blocking in one place. Definitely trying this out!
that's a smart idea to have it hovering over websites!
One piece of feedback on the landing page – the FocusBrew UI you have in the hero looks like it should be functional, and it even has hover states. So I was expecting to be able to try starting the timer and look at the tasks section here. I think it'd be good to either make it functional, or make the image clearly abstract (more illustrative). Maybe a video of seeing the extension in use would help conversion also?
Congrats on the launch! 🚀
Does FocusBrew track your focus patterns over time? I'd love to see insights about how my productivity changes
