Deepdoro for Developers
Ship code, not distractions.
Deepdoro helps developers block distracting sites, protect flow state during coding sessions, and track focus time. The focus timer built for people who write code.
Add to Chrome — FreeDevelopers do some of the most cognitively demanding work in the knowledge economy. Building software requires holding complex mental models in memory, reasoning about abstractions, and solving problems that require sustained concentration. A single Slack notification or Twitter check can cost 30 minutes of recovery time. Deepdoro protects the hours when you're writing your best code.
Context Switching Between Code and Communication
You're deep in a debugging session. Slack pings. You check it — it's a non-urgent question. But now your mental model of the codebase is gone. Rebuilding it takes 20+ minutes.
How Deepdoro helps
Deepdoro blocks Slack web, email, and other communication tools during focus sessions. The floating widget reminds you that you're in a protected session. When you're done, everything is waiting for you — no urgency was missed.
The YouTube/Reddit/HN Rabbit Hole
You search for a solution on Stack Overflow. A related link catches your eye. Twenty minutes later, you're watching a conference talk that's only tangentially related to your problem.
How Deepdoro helps
Hard mode blocks distracting sites automatically. If you try to visit a blocked site, the tab closes in 5 seconds. No willpower needed — the distraction simply doesn't happen.
Breaking Flow at the Worst Moment
You've been coding for 24 minutes. You're about to crack the problem. The Pomodoro timer rings and tells you to take a break. You lose the thread.
How Deepdoro helps
Deepdoro asks 'Are you in flow?' at the 25-minute mark. Say yes, and the timer switches to count-up mode. Your session continues uninterrupted. Take a break when you're ready, not when an arbitrary timer tells you to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Deepdoro block my development tools?
No. Deepdoro only blocks sites you add to your block list. Your IDE, localhost, GitHub, documentation sites — everything stays accessible. You can also use whitelist mode to allow only the sites you need.
Does Deepdoro work with VS Code's browser?
Deepdoro works in Chrome. If you use VS Code's built-in browser or Chrome DevTools, those aren't affected by the extension. Your development workflow stays untouched.
How long are typical developer focus sessions?
Most developers find 90-120 minute focus blocks ideal for complex work. With Deepdoro, you'd start with a 25-minute pomodoro to build momentum, then continue in flow mode. Many developers report sessions of 45-90 minutes once flow mode activates.
Can I block Slack web but keep GitHub open?
Absolutely. You control exactly which domains are blocked. Block slack.com, twitter.com, reddit.com while keeping github.com, stackoverflow.com, and your documentation sites fully accessible.
