Dial-Up Mode

Reclaim your focus by emulating the intentionality of the dial-up era. Batch your emails and escape the constant inbox noise.

Dial-Up Mode: Reclaim Your Focus through Intentional Computing Tired of the constant anxiety of a never-ending Gmail inbox? Dial-Up Mode is a Chrome extension designed for those who miss the era when being online was a conscious choice, not a permanent state of distraction. Inspired by the days of 56k modems—when you had to connect, download your mail, and disconnect to work—this tool brings back the power of intentional computing. Why Dial-Up Mode? In today’s world, the "always-on" culture fragments our attention. A single notification can ruin an hour of deep work. Dial-Up Mode fixes this by emulating the physical limitations of the past to give you the mental freedom of the future. Key Features: Batch Sincronization: Stop the constant drip of emails. Receive your messages in "batches" at specific times of the day, just like you used to when the phone line was occupied.

Intentional Connection: You decide when you are "online." Reclaim control over your time and decide when you are ready to process information, rather than letting information process you. Minimalist Interface: No clutter, no extra noise. Just the peace of mind you need to get things done. Embrace Intentional Computing This isn't just a productivity hack; it's a lifestyle shift.
