Dial-Up Mode: Focused Browsing for Modern Users
Dial-Up Mode is a Chrome extension designed to enhance focus by emulating the intentionality of the dial-up internet era. This tool allows users to batch emails and reduce the constant influx of notifications that fragment attention. With features like batch synchronization, users can choose specific times to receive emails, mimicking the past when internet connectivity was more deliberate and less distracting.
The extension promotes intentional computing by hiding the inbox during deep work sessions, which helps mitigate the temptation to check emails frequently. Its minimalist interface ensures a clutter-free experience, allowing users to concentrate on their tasks without digital distractions. By introducing intentional pauses in connectivity, Dial-Up Mode aids in reclaiming control over time and enhances productivity.
