FocusBell - ADHD Focus Reminder & Gentle Distraction Nudges

FocusBell is an ADHD-friendly focus aid for students, professionals, and anyone who gets pulled away from work while browsing. Name the task you're focusing on, list the sites that tend to pull you away, and start a session. When you land on one of those sites and stay past your chosen delay, FocusBell plays a bell and slides a compact banner down inside the page. You can return to your previous work tab or consciously allow the site.
