Ashdeck

Ashdeck is a Chrome extension that transforms your browser's new tab page into a productivity hub. It combines a Pomodoro timer with a website blocker to help you maintain focus during work or study sessions. Instead of seeing your usual distracting bookmarks or search bar, each new tab displays a clean interface with your active timer and focus statistics.

The tool works by letting you create custom blocklists of websites that tend to distract you. When the timer is running, these sites become inaccessible, helping you stay on task. The Pomodoro technique alternates between focused work intervals and short breaks, which Ashdeck implements with customizable timing options. All your data remains on your device, as the extension emphasizes privacy and doesn't track or share your browsing habits.

Ashdeck is particularly useful for students, remote workers, freelancers, and anyone who struggles with digital distractions. It helps you build better work habits by creating structure around your computer time. Whether you're writing a paper, coding a project, or working through administrative tasks, Ashdeck provides a simple but effective way to stay focused and productive.
