Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Karo because my focus routine was getting ridiculous: start a timer, work for five minutes, open YouTube “for a second”… and somehow it’s lunchtime.
I wanted something calmer than another complicated productivity system, so I made a quiet desk buddy that helps you:
- Keep one task beside your timer
- Block only the distracting sites you choose
- Work with focus music and ambient sounds
- Capture notes and take guided breaks
- Keep everything private and stored locally
Karo is free, works offline, and requires no account. Cloud sync is completely optional.
I’d love honest feedback: try one focus session and tell me what confused you, what felt good, or what made you want to leave.
Thanks for checking out my little desk buddy 🌱
