Prana Focus is a privacy-friendly Chrome extension that allows you to block or allow distracting websites, set custom schedules, and redirect your focus to what matters.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Greg the creator of Prana Focus — thanks for checking it out.
Why we built this Chrome extension:
The urge to scroll can be real so I wanted to build a tool to block distracting parts of the internet (or the entire internet, if that's your jam)
I got tired of Pomodoro timers that jump from one session to the next before I was actually ready for a break, so I made auto advance optional.
I care a lot of about privacy, and I didn't want a site blocker that tracks my habits or sends my data elsewhere. I like my data being mine and I want yours to stay yours too.
So I made something that I could actually use.
I built Prana Focus to fill in the gaps I kept running into with other productivity tools. It blocks distracting sites, includes a Pomodoro timer with optional auto-advance, lets you schedule focus sessions, and can even redirect you somewhere productive if you slip up.
I've been using it myself for a while now and it's made a real difference in how I work. I’m excited to finally share it with you. Would love your feedback, thoughts, or ideas on how to make it better — especially if you've tried other focus tools or use Pomodoro techniques.
Thanks again for the support!
Congrats on the launch! It's a good Chrome extension!
@maksym_skrypka thanks for the support...look forward to your upcoming launch as well
@maksym_skrypka thank you so much! Excited for your upcoming launch as well!
@gregory_cotterell Firstly, Prana Focus is a lovely name. This is a fantastic idea, it takes me back to the days when I used Pomodoro and similar tools while studying for exams. We need tools like this now more than ever. This isn’t a plug, but the mindset behind my product is to help people focus and write their own work. While it’s not directly related, there definitely feels like a connection here. Good luck with the launch and I'm excited to try this out!
@chaosandcoffee appreciate you I'll for sure give your product a look when it launches. Personally I'm a fan of all tools that can help with focus in a world that constantly wants to grab our attention. Thanks for the comment and best of luck with the launch
@chaosandcoffee Thank you for your kind words! And you're so right, we need tools like this when there are so many distractions available to us that can get in the way of our productivity. Your product sounds awesome, when is your official launch date? I can't wait to see it!
