Focus for Google Docs

Amazing extension, super helpful! Was skeptical of the timer function at first, but am pleasantly surprised by how much I like it.

Amazing extension, it's helped me so much. Even collapsing the formatting options into a tiny bar in default Docs isn't enough, I need the page to be completely clear of clutter, which this does excellently.

Hi Daz. I am glad you like the extension. This is actually a feature. Pressing escape allows you to exit, so you don't get stuck!

eeeeh yeah. i mean you cant exactly get the controls back afterwards. idk if this is just a glitch but ¯\_(Ｔ▽Ｔ)_/¯

I am not sure what you mean. You can get back the controls if you click "Focus" again. Clicking the focus icon toggles focus mode on and off. Alternatively, you can hit escape on your keyboard. Hope this helps.

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.

Wow, great to hear! I also have mild OCD, so I can totally relate!

Focus helps me write continuously. I like writing in 45 minute chunks with the pomodoro timer, which gets me into the flow!
