About Focus — Deep Work Theme
Focus is built around one idea: your browser should disappear. Every surface is a deep near-black (#0f1117) — not harsh pure black, but a softer dark that's easy on eyes during long sessions. A single green accent marks only what matters: your active tab and your focused omnibar. Everything else fades away. ✦ DESIGNED FOR - Deep work and flow state sessions - Developers, writers, designers, researchers - Anyone who uses Notion, Linear, Obsidian, Todoist - OLED screens and low-light environments ✦ WHAT'S DIFFERENT - Near-black base (#0f1117) — softer than pure black for long sessions - Single green accent (#4ade80) — only on active tab + focused search bar - Muted inactive tabs — your open tabs don't compete for attention - No animations, no gradients, no noise - Dark popup menus, dark sidebar, dark omnibar dropdown - Subtle grid texture on new tab page — structured, not empty ✦ PAIRS WELL WITH - Tree Style Tab extension - uBlock Origin - Dark Reader - Any minimal new tab extension Install.
