Chrome's default new tab is a distraction trap. LiveWallpaperFocus replaces it with a calm, customizable dashboard combining animated wallpapers, ambient sounds, Pomodoro tracking, and a real site blocker. 100% private with no account required.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the maker of LiveWallpaperFocus. Like many of you, every time I opened a blank Chrome tab to start a task, I’d immediately get pulled into a black hole of distractions before I even got to work. I built LiveWallpaperFocus to fix that. The idea was simple: turn that blank canvas into a calm, intentional dashboard that helps you lock in instead of losing focus. A few things I made sure to prioritize: Zero Distractions: Fully customizable interface hide what you don't need, or switch to Wallpaper-Only mode when you just want a clean view. Built-in Focus Tools: Integrated Pomodoro timer, ambient sound mixer (lo-fi, rain, brown noise), and an actual site blocker tied to your focus sessions. 100% Private: No accounts, no data tracking, and no external servers. Everything runs entirely on your local device. Whether you need a cozy space to study, a strict blocker for deep work, or just a prettier new tab page, I’d love for you to give it a spin!

The choice to bake an actual site blocker into the new tab instead of just slapping a pretty wallpaper on it shows real thought about what actually kills focus. Love that it needs no account.
