Start with a result.
Write what you want to complete, choose 25, 50, 90 minutes or a custom block, then shape a two-to-four-step plan.
Start with an outcome.
Finish with a handoff.

Keep the next step within reach.
A resilient focus timer and session notes sit beside your work, ready when you need them.
Focus in the side panel.
Watch your tree grow one leaf per focused minute, or open the synchronized pop-out timer. Your session keeps running when the panel closes.
Pick up easily next time.
Capture what moved forward, what remains open, and the next step. Copy the handoff yourself; nothing is sent automatically.

Page awareness is optional. FocusDock never reads page contents or blocks websites. Chrome’s built-in on-device model is used only after you request it; local templates work when it is unavailable.
Read the privacy policy →Questions, answered.
Does FocusDock read the page I’m viewing?
No. Optional page awareness uses only the active tab’s title and address. It does not inspect page contents or inject scripts. It needs separate Chrome tab permission.
Does the timer measure active time on a website?
No. It measures the focus-session timer, including time while the side panel is closed. It does not calculate per-tab or active browsing time.
Does AI send my notes to a server?
No. AI assistance is only invoked when you request it and uses Chrome’s built-in on-device model when available. Local templates work without it.
Where are my sessions stored?
In this Chrome profile on this device. FocusDock has no account or cloud sync in this preview. You can export or delete local data in Settings.
