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.

    An easy way to do more focused work in Slack2020 · ▲5

    The easiest way to describe Focus Mode is, ‘It’s the Pomodoro technique — designed exclusively for Slack.’ It lets users add the task they’re working on, set how long they’d like to focus on it, and how long the break should last between each focus period. 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…
