Always-on-top widget for macOS that helps finish tasks

A tiny always-on-top widget for macOS that protects one thing: the task you declared when you started. Blocking websites doesn't work when Facebook, ClickUp and Google Workspace are your tools. The real problem is different — it is the cost of catching a stray thought. You're deep in a task, something unrelated surfaces, you switch to another app to write it down, and on the way there the original task dies. That round trip costs about two minutes and a full context switch.
The stray thought problem is so real, this nails it. One idea: let me quickly dismiss the widget with a keyboard shortcut when I'm in flow but accidentally summon it. Right now having to hunt for a tiny floating window kind of defeats the point. Maybe Cmd+Option+Space to toggle, with a little animation so I know it caught.
The two-minute context switch framing really clicked for me, feels way more honest than another site blocker. Liked that it lives in the corner and just stays out of the way while I'm working.
