Core Pomodoro Timer Functionality Customizable Focus Sessions: Start with the classic 25-minute focus periods, or customize the duration to fit your workflow (from 1 to 120 minutes). Short & Long Breaks: Take rejuvenating 5-minute short breaks and longer 15-minute breaks after a set number of sessions to prevent burnout. Automated Workflow: Enable auto-start for both breaks and focus sessions to move seamlessly through your work cycles without missing a beat. Session Tracking: Keep track of your completed Pomodoro sessions throughout the day. 2. Productivity & Focus Tools Integrated To-Do List: Create a "Focus Tasks" list directly in the timer popup. Add, check off, and manage your goals for each session to stay on track. Lock-In Mode: Commit to your focus by locking in for a set number of sessions. This mode disables the pause and reset buttons to help you power through your work without interruption. Break Enforcement: A gentle, full-screen overlay reminds you to take your breaks seriously, helping you step away from the screen and truly recharge. 3. Advanced Website Blocker Focus Mode Blocking: During a focus session, all websites are blocked except for those on your personal "Allowlist," ensuring you only access essential sites. Allowlist & Blocklist: Allowlist: Add your essential work-related websites (like Google Docs, GitHub, etc.) to the Allowlist to access them anytime. Blocklist: Add your most distracting websites (like social media, news sites, etc.) to the Blocklist. These sites will be blocked even when the timer is idle to prevent mindless browsing. Customizable Break Blocking: Choose how to handle websites during your breaks. You can block all sites for a true digital detox, use your Allowlist, or browse freely. 4. Smart YouTube Integration Distraction-Free Viewing: When you're in a focus session, FlowLock automatically hides distracting YouTube elements like comments, recommendations, and the Shorts feed. Automatic Video Pausing: The extension can automatically pause any playing YouTube video the moment your break starts, so you can step away without missing anything. 5. Statistics & Analytics Productivity Dashboard: Dive into a detailed dashboard with your total focus time, session counts, daily streaks, and more. Activity Heatmap: Visualize your productivity over time with a GitHub-style heatmap that shows your most focused days. Productivity Score: Get a score based on your work patterns and get insights to improve your habits. Data Export: All your data is stored locally on your device, and you can export it anytime for your own analysis. 6. Complete Customization Flexible Timers: Adjust the length of focus sessions, short breaks, and long breaks to match your personal rhythm. Notifications & Alerts: Get desktop notifications and choose from different sound alerts to signal the end of a session. Data Privacy: Your privacy is paramount.
