Focus & Learn — Pomodoro Brain Booster

Stay focused with the Pomodoro technique. Get AI-powered micro-lessons during every break.

Standard focus timers leave you vulnerable to distraction. You finish a 25-minute work block, open a new tab for a 5-minute break, and suddenly an hour is gone to social media. Focus & Learn is a custom-built Pomodoro timer designed to intercept bad habits, lower the friction of starting difficult tasks, and keep you anchored to your workflow. ✨ Core Features: - The 2-Minute Ramp-Up: Starting is the hardest part. Instead of diving straight into a daunting 25-minute focus block, the timer gives you a 2-minute micro-learning phase first. This acts as a cognitive warm-up to phase you into deep work without the immediate pressure. - Anti-Doomscroll Breaks: During rest periods, instead of a blank screen, Focus & Learn uses AI to generate a bite-sized, fascinating concept. Pick custom topics (like Tech, Biology, System Design, or Psychology) and get a quick hit of dopamine from learning something new, without falling into an algorithm trap. - Zero Context Switching: The extension lives entirely in your browser popup. It doesn't hijack your screen or force open a new tab, allowing you to take a mental break while staying anchored to your active workspace. - Custom Ambient Audio: Seamlessly transition between work and break phases with custom-synthesized, distraction-free audio chimes. - Personal Library: Save your favorite AI-generated micro-lessons to your local library to review later or add personal reflections. 🔒 Privacy & Architecture: Built with a modern, local-first Manifest V3 architecture. Your data, custom topics, and saved lessons never leave your device. The extension utilizes chrome.storage.local to handle all state management. (Note: To generate dynamic micro-lessons, this extension requires you to provide your own free Google Gemini API key via Google AI Studio. Your key is stored securely and locally on your device.)
