You open a new tab to check one thing, and next thing you know, you're hours deep in a rabbit hole of information you weren’t even looking for.</p>
<p>Prana Focus helps with that.</p>
<p>It’s a simple browser extension for people who need to get things done but don’t want to completely disconnect. Whether you’re working, studying, or just trying to stay on track, it helps you build better boundaries — so you can focus when it matters and unwind when it doesn’t.</p>

<h2 id="heading-core-features"><strong>Core Features:</strong></h2>
<h3 id="heading-block-or-allow-specific-sites"><strong>Block or Allow Specific Sites</strong></h3>
<p>Customize your blocking experience. Block the few sites that always distract you, or go into hyper-focus mode by blocking the entire internet, allowing only the sites that keep you productive.</p>
<h3 id="heading-redirect-to-where-you-need-to-be"><strong>Redirect to Where You Need to Be</strong></h3>
<p>Accessing a blocked site leads you somewhere better. Set up a custom URL redirect in your settings. If you slip up and try to visit a blocked site, you'll be sent somewhere more productive—your task list, meeting notes, or project board—keeping your momentum.</p>
<h3 id="heading-set-your-schedule"><strong>Set Your Schedule</strong></h3>
<p>Create a focus schedule that works for you. Block or allow sites at the same time each day, or switch it up. Your focus schedule can be just as dynamic as your work or class routine.</p>
<h3 id="heading-enable-hard-mode"><strong>Enable Hard Mode</strong></h3>
<p>When you really need to lock in, enable Hard Mode. Set an "escape code" in your settings that you'll need to enter if you want to end a session early. It adds just enough friction to help you decide if you really want to break your focus, or if you can push through.</p>
<h3 id="heading-boost-focus-with-the-pomodoro-timer"><strong>Boost Focus with the Pomodoro Timer</strong></h3>
<p>Use the built in *Prana-*doro timer to structure your day and prevent burnout. Customize the length of your focus intervals and breaks to keep your mind fresh without losing momentum.</p>
<h3 id="heading-auto-sync-across-devices"><strong>Auto Sync Across Devices</strong></h3>
<p>Keep your settings consistent, no matter which computer you're on. As long as you're using a Chrome browser and have auto sync enabled, your settings stay with you.</p>
