FocusFlow by TBTechs

What it does

FocusFlow is a deep focus and app-blocking tool for Windows that gives you real enforcement — not gentle reminders. It monitors running processes and closes blocked apps the moment they open. Block Chrome, Discord, Steam, Spotify — any executable. Nuclear Mode locks down Task Manager + 30 escape routes. Focus Launcher replaces your desktop with a kiosk. Website blocker edits your hosts file. Pomodoro, tasks, stats. 100% local. No account. Free on the Microsoft Store. Windows 10 & 11.

Block distracting apps, lock your Windows desktop with Focus Launcher kiosk mode, and stop website procrastination. Free on the Microsoft Store.

FocusFlow kills blocked processes via Win32, locks your Windows desktop into a distraction-free kiosk with Focus Launcher, and enforces focus sessions with a PIN gate. No soft timers. No workarounds. Real enforcement. Focus Launcher is a CBT-inspired kiosk mode that replaces your Windows desktop with a distraction-free workspace the moment a session begins. Hides the Windows taskbar and activates Nuclear Mode the instant your session starts. No quick notifications check. No taskbar distractions. Just your work. Every break requires your session PIN. Hard Lock mode skips breaks entirely. This CBT-based friction between impulse and action is what makes the difference. Your taskbar is…from focusflowpc.pages.dev

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
