What it does
Focus Coach is a free Chrome extension for focus and distraction control. Earn viewing credits on learning sites, spend them on YouTube and social media, then get soft coaching when credits run out. Local-first — no account, no cloud sync.
A free Chrome extension for focus: earn viewing credits on learning sites, spend them on YouTube and social media, and get soft coaching when the balance runs out — local-first, no account. Instead of forever-blocking distractions, Focus Coach makes you earn them — then coaches you when the balance runs out. Time on sites like Khan Academy, Coursera, Udemy, Skillshare, DeepLearning.AI, and LinkedIn Learning builds your credit balance. Use credits on YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, X, TikTok, and other distraction sites — including gated YouTube playback when credits remain. When credits are gone, choose how it feels: block, grayscale, redirect to learning, or pause the coach entirely. Pick how…from getfocuscoach.com

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud.

We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy.
