Speak the goal
Voice input is the fastest path. Typing stays available as a fallback when speech recognition is blocked or unstable.
Chrome extension for tab-overload work
Focus Receipt
Not a blocker. A receipt. Speak your session goal, run a focused timer, capture only the tabs you choose, and finish with a local review of where your attention went.
- No browsing history permission
- Capture only selected tabs
- Local focus receipts
- No audio stored
The problem
You do not need another blocker when the real issue is losing the thread.
Most focus tools try to lock the web away. Focus Receipt is for the sessions where you still need research, docs, search, and reference tabs, but you want proof of what actually mattered.
The product is built around a small loop: one spoken goal, one timer, selected tab captures, one receipt, one concrete next step.
How it works
A smaller focus loop for messy browser work.
Designed for people who fall into tab rabbit holes but still need the browser to finish real work.
Run a focus timer
Use 10 minutes, 25 minutes, or a custom duration. The hourglass runs for the same length as the timer.
Capture selected tabs
Save only the pages you intentionally capture by button, shortcut, or page menu during the session.
Review the receipt
See captured pages, top domains, unfinished items, and a short next-session fix.
Search paths
Built for the phrases users already search when browser work gets messy.
Tab overload
Too many tabs, no clear trail
Use a receipt to remember which sources actually supported the session goal.

Review-safe by design
Small permissions, clear boundaries.
- Uses only
storage,alarms,notifications,contextMenus,sidePanel, andactiveTab. - Does not request browsing history, host permissions, cookies, screenshots, or page contents.
- Focus session data stays in local browser storage.
- Voice input uses browser speech recognition. Focus Receipt does not store audio.
- Website waitlist and feedback forms do not accept captured tab URLs.
FAQ
Common questions before installing.
Why not just block distracting sites?
Blocking can help, but research-heavy work still needs the browser. Focus Receipt gives you a review trail without taking over your browsing.
Can it automatically track every tab?
No. The first version is intentionally manual. It records only tabs you choose to capture during a running focus session.
What happens if voice input fails?
The extension keeps typed input available. Browser speech recognition can vary by browser, permission state, language, and network availability.
Where is my data stored?
Session goals, selected tab metadata, unfinished items, and receipts stay in local browser storage unless you export them yourself.
