Focus Buddy – ADHD Focus Widget & Mini Games

Focus Buddy - Version 3.27.1 Notes, Stability & the Kindness Update Fixed Improved widget cleanup after updates Fixed an issue where an older widget instance could continue running in tabs that were already open after an extension update. In some cases, this could result in increased CPU and memory usage or prevent the widget from closing properly. If a widget appears stuck immediately after updating to 3.27.1, refresh the affected tab once. Future updates will automatically clean up previous widget instances. New Notes Capture ideas, research, and snippets without leaving the page you're working on. Open Notes as a floating panel with Alt + Shift + N. Use the dedicated Notes widget with a read view and built-in editor. Create multiple notes with automatic saving. Clip the current page title, URL, and selected text into a note.

Focus Buddy A small focus companion that lives quietly in the corner of your browser. Some people find that gentle visual stimulation makes long stretches of reading, coding, studying, writing, or repetitive work easier to stay with. Focus Buddy turns that idea into a small, distraction-conscious companion that stays alongside your work instead of competing with it. It runs locally in your browser and is designed to remain lightweight, private, and unobtrusive. Who It's For Focus Buddy is designed with ADHD-friendly principles in mind and is useful for anyone who benefits from a little visual activity while working. It's especially suited for: Studying and research Programming and development Writing and editing Reading documentation Long-form reading Email and administrative work Focus sessions and deep work 48 Widgets, One Corner Focus Buddy combines productivity tools, time awareness, interactive companions, games, and calming visual experiences in a single corner of your screen. 🕒 Time & Focus Visual tools designed to make the passage of time easier to understand at a glance. Time Disk provides a visual countdown where the remaining time appears as a shrinking colored wedge rather than relying entirely on changing numbers. Pomodoro provides 25/5 focus cycles, session tracking, task integration, completion notifications, and optional sound. Timer & Stopwatch provide accurate timing that continues reliably when working across browser tabs. Time Check-ins are optional, gentle reminders that can appear periodically during long sessions. They are designed to help you notice how long you've been working without interrupting you. 📝 Notes A lightweight notes system for study and research. Open Notes beside your current widget or use the dedicated Notes widget. Create multiple notes, edit them directly, save automatically, copy content, and clip selected text from the current webpage. Page clipping only occurs when you explicitly choose the clip action. ✅ Tasks Keep a simple task list within reach. Start a Pomodoro session directly from a task and mark it complete when your focus session ends. 📚 Study Buddy A virtual body-doubling companion that works alongside you. Your companion sits at a small desk and works during your focus sessions, providing a quiet sense of presence without interrupting your workflow. 🌸 Focus Garden & Companions Your focus sessions can contribute to a persistent little world. Completed sessions grow your Focus Garden, while your virtual companion develops over time. Discover different creatures, care for your active companion, unlock new entries in the Collection Book, and customize their names. Pets can gain experience from completed focus sessions and progress through different stages as they grow. The system is designed to encourage returning without punishing you for taking breaks. 🎮 Games Focus Buddy includes a collection of lightweight games that can either play automatically or be controlled by you.
