FocusBridge AI

Hello Product Hunt! I'm Vishal, the creator of FocusBridge AI. I built this chrome extension because I was tired of the 'all-or-nothing' approach to productivity. As someone who handles context-switching every day, I found that traditional site blockers felt like a prison. When a tool is too restrictive, we eventually just turn it off. I wanted to build a Bridge, not a Wall. What makes FocusBridge AI different? Most extensions just check a list of URLs. FocusBridge is 'Context-Aware.' It uses an on-device Small Language Model (SLM) to actually understand the meaning of your active tab. If your goal is 'Coding' and you’re on a documentation site, you're safe. If you drift into a rabbit hole, the AI detects the semantic shift and provides 'Mindful Friction' by flashing the tab to remind the user about their intentions. We use a Tiered Intervention system: - The Soft Nudge: If you’re on an irrelevant site that isn't blocked, the AI triggers a pulsing orange flash and expands your floating Focus Bubble to gently remind you of your intent. - Conscious Friction: For sites you’ve manually added to your 'Danger Zone' (Blocklist), the extension creates a 10-second forced pause with a supportive message—giving your brain the space to choose discipline over impulse. Privacy is our North Star: In an era of data-tracking, FocusBridge is 100% private. No API keys, no cloud processing, and zero data exfiltration. All AI inference happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Key Features: - Semantic Triage: Local AI analysis of tab relevance vs. goal. - Pomodoro: An optional tool to track your productivity minutes. - Rules Ledger: One-click domain management. - Productivity Wheel: Visual wellbeing stats to track your weekly flow. - Fluid Focus Bubble: A draggable, snappable assistant with a built-in Pomodoro ring. FocusBridge is 100% open-source and free. I built this to help the ADHD and deep-working task orietend people reclaim their focus. I do love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any features you do like to see in the next update! Happy Focusing, Vishal
