FlowGuard — ADHD Focus Coach

Gentle time awareness, AI-powered focus coaching, and ADHD-friendly blocking. Your focus coach, not your warden.

Struggling to focus with ADHD? Generic website blockers rely on shame, strict rules, and hard lockouts that just make you feel guilty. FlowGuard is different. We are a privacy-first, gentle focus coach that helps you build awareness without punishment. No tracking your URLs. No servers storing your data. Just you, your goals, and a system designed for how your brain actually works. -------------------------------------------------- WHAT MAKES FLOWGUARD DIFFERENT? Traditional blockers treat distraction as a crime. When you visit a blocked site, they scream at you with red screens and countdowns. FlowGuard treats distraction as a natural loss of momentum. When you visit a distraction site, we simply pause the page, dim the lights, and give you a 5-second breathing exercise. You always have the option to override it. We aren’t your warden; we are your coach. CORE FEATURES (100% FREE FOREVER): 🌊 The Gentle Pause: No more red "BLOCKED" screens. Distraction sites trigger a calming, deep-navy breathing overlay that asks if you really want to be here. 🔥 Streak Tracking & Badges: ADHD brains thrive on gamification. Earn beautiful emoji badges for hitting focus milestones, beating your personal bests, and maintaining streaks. 🛡️ Absolute Privacy: Your browsing data never leaves your Chrome browser. Everything is processed and stored in `chrome.storage.local`. 🚫 Simple Blocklists: Easily add up to 5 of your worst distraction domains to your blocklist. FLOWGUARD PRO: Ready to take your focus to the next level? FlowGuard Pro unlocks powerful insights and AI-driven coaching. 🧠 AI Monday Digests: Every Monday, your AI coach reviews your anonymised focus data and writes you a personalized, encouraging summary of your week, celebrating your wins and offering actionable advice. 📈 Danger Windows Heatmap: Discover your exact patterns. Our 7-day, 24-hour heatmap visually reveals the exact hours you are most vulnerable to distraction so you can plan accordingly. 📅 Auto-Scheduling: Let FlowGuard analyze your most productive hours and suggest optimal focus blocks. 🎯 Unlimited Blocklist: Add as many distraction sites as you need. ✨ Personalized Pauses: Inject your specific weekly intention right into the pause overlay. -------------------------------------------------- PRIVACY PROMISE You are trusting us with your attention, and we take that incredibly seriously. - No Accounts: FlowGuard does not require you to create an account or password. - No Database: We do not have a centralized database storing your browsing habits. - Local Only: Your time logs, overrides, and settings are stored strictly within Chrome's local storage on your device. - AI Digest Security: If you use the Pro AI Digest, the extension only sends domain names (e.g., "reddit.com") and total minutes. It NEVER sends full URLs, page titles, search queries, or personal information. -------------------------------------------------- FAQ Q: Can I really bypass the block screen? A: Yes. After the 5-second breathing exercise, a "5-Minute Override" button appears. We believe in giving you agency. The pause is enough to break the automatic dopamine-seeking loop for most people. Q: Does it work offline? A: Yes! The core tracking, pausing, and reporting features are 100% offline. Only the Pro AI Digest requires an internet connection on Monday mornings. Get your focus back, gently. Welcome to FlowGuard.
