Why I Created Deep Focus

I built Deep Focus while broke, working two jobs, and frustrated with the state of productivity tools. Most were either hiding essential features behind paywalls or bloated with unnecessary complexity.

As someone who struggled with maintaining focus during long study sessions, I needed a simple, effective solution that wouldn’t constantly ask me to subscribe or upgrade.

No subscriptions. No paywalls. Just productivity.

Deep Focus follows a simple philosophy: productivity tools should be accessible to everyone. Whether you’re:

  • A student trying to focus on studying
  • A professional working remotely
  • Someone with ADHD needing focus assistance
  • Anyone tired of subscription-based software

This extension provides the core tools you need to maintain focus, without the financial burden of yet another subscription.
