Focus Five: New Tab To-Do List

Shows today’s five tasks on every new tab, with a focus timer and optional site blocking. Everything else waits in Later.

I made Focus Five because my to-do list kept growing past the point where I'd actually look at it. So this one caps Today at five. Try to add a sixth and it asks which task should move out. The top task is the one you're on. Press Enter and a full-screen timer starts on it, 25 or 50 minutes, with the next task shown at the bottom. Finished tasks get crossed off and keep their slot until you clear them, and the sidebar keeps a timeline of what you got done today. Anything that isn't for today goes to Later. Half-formed thoughts go to Ideas, and when you have a minute you sort them one at a time into Today or Later, or drop them. Other things it does: • Blocks the sites you pick (Reddit, YouTube, whatever gets you) while Today still has open tasks. Chrome asks permission for each site when you add it. You get three 30-minute breaks from blocking per day. • Routines that come back daily, on weekdays or once a week, without using up one of the five slots. • A short hint under any task, for titles that only make sense to you at 9am. • Drag to reorder, or do nearly everything from the keyboard: N for a new task, arrows to pick, Enter to start, E to edit. • Nine themes, including a couple of brutalist ones. • A presentation mode that swaps your list for a photo and a clock when you share your screen. Your tasks are stored in your browser and nowhere else. There's no account, and nothing is sent to a server. You can export a backup file from Settings and restore it on another computer.
