I got tired of productivity tools constantly asking me to sign up, pay monthly, or deal with annoying UIs. I just wanted something simple that helps me stay focused.

So I built Deep Focus a free Chrome extension that gives you the basics:

Pomodoro timer (no signup)

Website blocker (custom blocklist)

Ambient sounds (Lo-Fi, rain, thunder, etc.)

No ads, no tracking, no fluff

I’m working on advanced features like analytics, cloud sync, custom focus presets, etc.

Would love to hear your thoughts or improvements you’d want.
