What it does

Slack’s great for many things. For deep work? Not so much. Channels need attention. Notifications abound. It can be hard to focus — Unless. Focus Mode puts Pomodoro in Slack. It flags what you’re working on, enables ‘Do Not Disturb,’ and lets deep work happen.

Eliminate distraction, rediscover concentration and get work done with Geekbot’s Focus Mode.

Focus mode is a Slack integration that enables you to focus on important daily tasks without any distractions from your working environment. Any time you get into Focus mode on any of your chosen tasks, all your notifications automatically are being switched off and Do not Disturb mode is activated. When you start working with Focus Mode, the name of the respective task along with ? will be displayed to your status on Slack. Therefore, your colleagues will be aware of the task you are working on and that you are not available. You just need to choose a task, set an approximate time for completion and the desired break time. Focus Mode synchronizes also with your Geekbot daily tasks. Any of…from geekbot.com

In essence, it’s a nifty way to bring more focused work to the busy workspaces of Slack. The creators of Focus Mode are my team at Geekbot: the custom Slackbot that helps remote-first companies (including the likes of Zapier, Shopify, Zendesk) better manage routine tasks, like daily standups, in Slack. So to say we’re at home in Slack is…
