FocusFlow Browser

The work happens in the browser. So does the distraction. FocusFlow puts the timer, the task list and the blocklist next to the tabs instead of in a second program.

What it does

It is a real browser first: Chromium underneath, tabs, an address bar with search, back and forward — plus split and quad views for pages you need side by side. A hosts-based ad blocker is built in.

The rest lives in the sidebar: a Pomodoro timer with configurable work and break lengths, a task list that separates Must Do from Can Do and tracks the time spent on each, a day planner with a morning routine, a notepad, and quick links — permanent ones, general ones, and ones tied to a particular task. Two ambient audio modes come with it.

Distraction Free Mode keeps its own list of domains and toggles with one click; a blocked page shows a reminder instead of the site. The AI chat is optional and ships with no provider configured: you enter the endpoint, key, model and system prompt yourself, and any OpenAI-compatible API fits.

The browser window with a Wikipedia page open. The three buttons at the top left switch between one, two and four panes; the tab strip and address bar sit below them.

What you get out of it

Timer, tasks and blocklist in the same window as the tabs.
Must Do and Can Do kept apart, with time tracked per task.
A distraction blocker with your own list, one click on and off.
Ad blocker built in, no extension needed.
AI chat against your own endpoint — you choose the key and the model.
Single, split and quad view for working across several pages.

What people use it for

The afternoon falls apart

Timer on, blocklist on, three entries under Must Do — the program holds the frame, not willpower alone.

Research across many sources

Split or quad view, with links attached to the task they belong to.

Giving the day a shape

Morning routine, day plan, time blocks — and by evening the task list says where the time went.

The AI chat ships no AI. It talks to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint that you enter yourself and, depending on the provider, pay for yourself. Without your own access that one part of the sidebar stays empty; the browser, timer, tasks and blocklist work regardless.
