Focus Mode by Geekbot - Set yourself to focus in Slack

by•

Slack’s great for many things. For deep work? Not so much.
Channels need attention. Notifications abound. It can be hard to focus — Unless.
Focus Mode puts Pomodoro in Slack. It flags what you’re working on, enables ‘Do Not Disturb,’ and lets deep work happen.

Hi Product Hunters! I basically live in Slack (it’s my day job with Geekbot!), and now my days have become a whole lot more productive since we created Focus Mode, an easy way to tell my team when I’m in proper ‘work mode.’ I hope you like it as much as we do, feel free to share your feedback.

That's what I need! Are you thinking of having a command for faster use or integrating it with task management softwares? (Please be Asana first!)

@christiansino So glad you like it Christian! A command is a nice idea, I'll take a note. As for integrations we are already building that both for Geekbot and Focus Mode
Petros Amiridis
Love the animated gif and the idea of course.
Tasos Alexis Banioras
Great, yet so simple, idea! Kudos!
Ryan Smith
?makers any plans to allow Focus Mode to post everyone's updates to a slack channel? Also might be fun to allow users of standups with Geekbot to grab all their Focus items and reference them in their standup from the day before.

Hey @ryansmithsd thanks for the comment! We already have an integration with Geekbot so your todo items will show up in FM and your FM items will show in your done question in Geekbot. That's probably the only way to post your done items in a channel atm but I'll keep your request

That is really cool. Is there a way to still make very important messages come through?

@garintheengineer Thanks Ilya! Yes, people who really need to reach you can override DnD. After they message you they get a response from Slackbot that gives them the ability to reach you anyways

Well, It helps to avoid distraction at Slack
