Why I built DeepPane — the 10-minute problem I couldn't stop thinking about

Every time I sat down to do deep work, I'd spend 10 minutes on setup.

YouTube for background. Spotify for music. A timer app. Maybe a

quotes doc open somewhere. Four tabs, five clicks, one interrupted

thought before I'd even started.

And then the ambient video would end. Mid-flow, everything stops.

I'd spend another 5 minutes finding the next one.

I kept thinking: why isn't there a tool that just... holds the

whole thing together?

Scene + music + timer + duration. Saved. One click to restore

tomorrow.

That's DeepPane. I built it for myself first. I'm hoping it helps

you too.

What does your current focus setup look like? Would love to know

if others have the same ritual problem.
