A frameless, draggable floating widget with a live progress ring — hover to expand pause / skip / open controls.

OS notification plus a two-note chime synthesized live with WebAudio.

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/focus-dashboard-mvp. $15 buys the signed installer, auto-shortcuts and zero setup.
How is the ambient noise generated?
Mathematically, in real time — white/pink/brown noise and droplet-synthesized rain as pure sample-buffer math through WebAudio. No audio files are shipped and nothing streams, which is why it works offline forever.
Does it block distracting websites or apps?
No — Deepdesk is a timer, intent and stats tool, not a blocker. Pair it with a hosts-file blocker if you need hard enforcement. Centered's coaching nudges and Flow music are also things Deepdesk deliberately doesn't do.
