I Was Losing Hours to Distraction—So I Built a Fix

I used to be that person—sitting in front of my laptop, ready to code or work on my side projects, and then suddenly, endless tabs and distractions would take over. One moment I was planning to dive into deep work, and the next I was lost in social media or YouTube rabbit holes. Hours would vanish, and my to-do list would be a constant reminder of what I hadn’t achieved.

I realized that if I was going to succeed as an indie hacker, I needed to work smarter—not just harder. That’s when the idea for Ashdeck was born.

What is Ashdeck?

Ashdeck is a free, open-source Chrome extension I built to help anyone regain control of their day. It blocks out the distractions that keep me from doing what matters, letting me focus on building, coding, or creating without falling into the endless scroll.

Why did I build it?

-Regain control of your time: No more losing hours to mindless browsing.

-Stay focused: Work in bursts of productivity and truly make progress on your projects.

Beat procrastination: Develop better habits with a tool that’s simple and effective.

If you're an indie hacker, developer, or anyone trying to make your mark online, I’m sure you know the struggle of battling distractions every day.

I invite you to try Ashdeck, share your feedback, and help spread the word. Let’s build a community where we all focus on what matters—making things happen.
