Overview

Focus helps you enter the writing flow by decluttering Google Docs and adding a pomodoro timer.

Want to enter the writing flow in Google Docs? Focus hides the distracting controls so you can focus just on your text. It includes a pomodoro timer to motivate you to write continuously for a period of time, such as 15 minutes. -------How to use------- Start a pomodoro timer by hovering the button in the bottom right and choosing a duration. If you click the button labeled Focus, it will toggle focus mode. Option click the button to toggle full screen. Right-click the extension icon at the top right of your browser and select "Options" to open a page for configuring the extension's settings.

Oh my GOSH finally. The other extension like this broke, and my OCD makes it so, so hard to write on anything but a blank, simple, calm screen. You're gonna help me finish my MSt thesis, THANK YOU. Please don't let this one glitch like the other.
