A New Tab built around what you're working on.
Continuo is a minimal, focused Chrome extension designed to help you stay connected to your work. Every time you open a new tab, Continuo shows you your current intention, a ticking stopwatch, and your daily accomplishments.
No feeds, no notifications, no competitive streaks, and no distractions. Just a quiet space to continue what you started.
- Intention Focus: Set your current task and start working. The timer syncs with the browser tab title so you can track progress at a glance.
- Stopwatch Timer with Pause/Resume: Active focus stopwatch (
HH:MM:SS) with seamless pause and resume capabilities that maintain exact elapsed time across tab reloads. - Accomplishment Log: Log what you accomplished upon completing or stopping a focus session to build a history of achievements.
- Focus Statistics Dashboard: Track your productivity with key metrics (Total Focus Time, Success Rate, Average Duration) and beautiful visualizations including a 7-day SVG bar trend chart and a circular completion ring.
- Gamified Achievements System: Unlock 50 unique achievements across focus milestones, customizations, quick links, and filtering. Includes custom arpeggio audio chimes and reactive toast notifications.
- Focus Tasks & Daily Schedule: Slide-out drawers for a Tasks (To-Do) checklist (linkable to history sessions) and a Time Table planner with browser desktop reminders supporting Daily recurring and One-time schedule blocks.
- Daily Focus Streaks: Maintain daily streaks by completing focus sessions of 3+ minutes, highlighted by a glowing header flame indicator.
- Reorderable Quick Links Dock: Centered dashboard shortcuts dock with fluid drag-and-drop reordering powered by
@dnd-kit. - History Panel with Search & Filter: Search logs by keywords and filter by session Status, Timeframe (Today, Yesterday, 7 Days, 30 Days), or Duration categories.
- Settings & Customization:
- Cycle between high-quality background wallpapers, a solid dark theme, or paste custom wallpaper URLs.
- Toggle seconds display in the live header clock.
- Switch between 12-hour AM/PM and 24-hour clock formats.
- Toggle audio alert sound chimes and tab title timer sync.
- Safety Modals & Micro-animations: Confirm destructive operations (e.g. clearing history) with double-check modal overlays and enjoy smooth transition wipe sweep animations when switching wallpapers.
- 100% Local Privacy: Your data is yours. Continuo stores everything inside
chrome.storage.local. No external servers, no tracking, and zero telemetry.
