Driftless

🎯 Stop drifting. Start doing. You open a new tab to "check one thing." Forty-five minutes later, you're three reels deep into someone's vacation, seven tabs into a Wikipedia rabbit hole, and your actual work hasn't moved an inch. Driftless is the Chrome extension that closes that gap — a gorgeous Pomodoro timer fused with a site blocker that actually holds the line. No leaky workarounds. No "just one more scroll." Just focus that sticks. ⏱️ A Pomodoro Timer That Actually Holds Set your intention, pick your duration, and go. Driftless runs distraction-free focus sessions right from your Chrome toolbar, with gentle visual progress and automatic breaks so you never have to think about the clock. ✅ Set your intention for every session ("Finish Q2 roadmap," "Write intro paragraph," anything you want) ✅ 25 / 45 / 60 / 90-minute presets or set any custom duration ✅ Automatic breaks between sessions so you don't burn out ✅ Daily streaks that keep you accountable ✅ Dark mode built in, because focus shouldn't hurt your eyes 🛡️ One Click, and Distraction Disappears When a blocked site tries to load, Driftless replaces it with a full-page block screen — live countdown, motivational quote, and a single gentle button: "Take me back." No flash of the forbidden page. No sneaky redirect. No workaround. Built on Chrome's native declarativeNetRequest API, blocks are enforced at the browser level — not by a flimsy content script that a page can dodge. 🚫 Full-page block screens with a live countdown of your focus session 💬 Motivational quotes from history's greatest focused minds ⏸️ "Add 5-min break" option when you genuinely need it 📊 Block counter so you can see how many distractions you dodged today 🔒 Focus Lock — The 10-Second Friction That Saves Hours Willpower is weak at minute 38. That's why Driftless includes Focus Lock: to end a session early, you have to solve a quick math challenge. It's not cruel — it's just enough friction to make you ask, "Do I actually want to quit, or am I just bored?" Nine times out of ten, you'll stick it out. Those are the sessions that change your week. ⚡ Kill the Infinite Scroll Before It Kills Your Day Short-form video is engineered to hijack your attention. Driftless surgically removes it — without blocking the entire site. Need to DM a friend on Instagram? Still works. Need to watch a tutorial on YouTube? Still works. But the endless scroll? Gone. One toggle hides: 📱 YouTube Shorts (both youtube.com and m.youtube.com) 📸 Instagram Reels (Reels tab + in-feed reels) 🎵 TikTok For You (FYP + Following feed) 👥 Facebook Reels (Reels tab hidden, site still usable) 👻 Snapchat Spotlight (Spotlight feed on snapchat.com) Reclaim the hours these feeds quietly steal from you. 📅 Weekly Schedule — Enforce Your Plan Even When You Forget Set automatic blocking hours for your deep-work windows — Mon–Fri 9am–12pm, weeknights after dinner, whenever your best work happens. Driftless turns on blocking for you, every time, without you lifting a finger. Your future self will thank you. 📊 Beautiful Analytics — See Your Focus Habits A simple, stunning dashboard that shows you exactly what's working: 🔥 Total focus time, day streak, longest streak, sessions done 📈 Weekly focus chart (minutes per day) 🗓️ 30-day heatmap — brighter squares = deeper focus 🧠 Focus insights (most productive day, average session length, most-blocked site, completion rate) 💯 Productivity score out of 100 based on streak, sessions, and completion 🔐 Your Data Stays Yours Everything Driftless tracks — every session, every streak, every blocked site — is stored locally on your device.
