In a world where AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and GitHub Copilot are becoming part of our everyday work, one challenge remains unchanged:
👉 Our attention is constantly under attack.
Even with powerful AI assistants, productivity collapses when your browser is drowning in 15, 30, or 50 open tabs.
This is why Focus Tab — a tiny Chrome extension built by Rohan Ravindra Kadam — deserves a place in every developer’s, writer’s, and researcher’s workflow.
It turns your browser into a calm, distraction-free workspace so your AI sessions actually stay productive.
🚀 What Is Focus Tab?
Focus Tab is a simple Chrome extension that hides all tabs except the one you're currently using — and restores them with one click.
It’s built for one purpose:
Eliminate digital clutter instantly so you can stay deeply focused.
Whether you're working, studying, coding, or collaborating with AI tools, Focus Tab creates a single-task environment that keeps your mind clear.
✨ Key Features

💡 Why Focus Tab Matters (Especially in the AI Era)
We rely on AI more than ever:
➡️ to brainstorm
➡️ to generate content
➡️ to summarize research
➡️ to help us debug code
But AI is only powerful when you’re focused.
And focus is nearly impossible when your screen is cluttered with open tabs.
🔥Here’s how Focus Tab enhances your AI workflow:
1️⃣ Reduces Cognitive Load
AI sessions work best when your brain isn’t juggling dozens of open resources. Focus Tab lets you turn one tab into your temporary “AI workspace.”
2️⃣ Helps You Stay in Deep Work Mode
If you're writing with AI, pair-programming with an LLM, or exploring complex ideas, Focus Tab keeps distractions away with a single click.
3️⃣ Prevents Tab Overload During Research
Copy text into your AI assistant, switch back to reading, repeat — without losing focus or drowning in tabs.
4️⃣ Boosts Performance
Fewer open tabs = lower memory usage.
Lower memory usage = smoother browser + smoother AI tools.
5️⃣ Great for Students & Developers
Students get a clean reading or writing space
Developers get a distraction-free coding + ChatGPT environment
Researchers avoid tab chaos during long information dives
🧠 How Focus Tab Works
It’s extremely simple:
1️⃣ Click the Focus Tab icon in your Chrome toolbar.
2️⃣ All other tabs instantly hide.
3️⃣ Work in a calm, clutter-free space.
4️⃣ Click again to restore everything exactly as it was.
No setup.
No learning curve.
No friction.
🔐 Privacy You Can Trust
Focus Tab does not collect or share any personal information.
All actions happen locally within your browser.
Your data never leaves your device.
🧩 Final Thoughts: Minimal Tools Matter in an AI World
As AI gets more advanced, our tools often get more complex — dashboards, prompts, sidebars, plugins, integrations.
But sometimes, the most powerful productivity booster is simplicity.
Focus Tab creates a calm, intentional digital space where your AI tools can shine.
It strips away noise so you can think, create, write, code, and learn with more clarity.
If you’re looking for a lightweight way to boost focus, reduce tab chaos, and get more value from AI assistants, Focus Tab is one of the easiest upgrades you can make.
