Focus, quietly.
Hushlo is a calm Pomodoro timer for Chrome. Keep today's tasks next to the clock, and the sites that pull you away stay closed until the session ends.

What's inside
Everything sits on one calm page, the one you open when it's time to work.
A timer that keeps going
Focus, short breaks and long breaks. Stretch the ring around the orb to set the length. It keeps time with every tab closed.
Today's tasks
Give each task a few pomodoros. Every session you finish counts toward the one you're on.
Sites stay closed
Pick social sites or type your own. While you focus they open a calm page with your time left instead.
Focus sounds
Rain, forest, ocean and soft noise, made live in your browser. There are no audio files, so they never loop.
Skies and photos
Work in front of a dusk sky or a quiet photo, as sharp or as soft as you like. The orb picks up its colours.
Breathe for a minute
Between sessions the orb grows as you breathe in and shrinks as you breathe out. Try 4-7-8, box or even breathing.
Choose how strict it is
Some days you need a nudge. Some days you need the door locked. Pick one, and change it whenever you like.
Block sites only while you focus, or all the time.
Nothing leaves your computer
Your tasks, blocklist and history stay in Chrome on your computer. Uninstall Hushlo and they go with it.
No account
Install it and start. There is nothing to sign up for.
No tracking
No analytics, no ads. Nothing is sent to a server.
Works offline
Fonts, sounds and wallpapers are built in or generated.
Hushlo for iPhone
Hushlo Plus arrives with the iPhone app. Start focus in Chrome and your phone blocks the apps you choose too, with the timer on your lock screen. Plus also adds weekly insights and every wallpaper and sound.
Everything that's free today stays free.
