FocusMode - For LeetCode

About

Transform Your LeetCode Practice into a High-Concentration Session
LeetCode FocusMode is the ultimate companion for developers, students, and job seekers who want to master technical interviews. By stripping away common sources of "LeetCode Anxiety"—like the ticking clock and the intimidating "Hard" difficulty label—FocusMode allows you to concentrate purely on the algorithmic logic and problem-solving.

🧠 The Problem with "LeetCode Anxiety"
Practicing for coding interviews in a high-pressure environment can lead to bias and stress. Seeing a "Hard" label can make you overcomplicate your approach, while the "Easy" label might lead to careless mistakes. The ticking timer, though useful for mock interviews, can hinder your initial learning phase when you need deep, uninterrupted thinking.

🛡️ How FocusMode Helps
FocusMode provides a non-intrusive, professional-grade overlay system that hides specific UI elements on LeetCode. This forces your brain to analyze the problem statement objectively, without any external cues or pressure.

✅ What Can You Hide?
FocusMode gives you granular control over your environment. Use the extension popup to individually toggle overlays for:

🏆 Problem Difficulty: Stop the "Easy," "Medium," or "Hard" labels from affecting your confidence or approach. Treat every problem as a fresh logical challenge.
⏰ The Timer: Remove the constant pressure of the clock. Practice mindfulness and deep thinking during your initial problem breakdown.
📖 Question Title: Prevent bias based on the problem's name (e.g., "Merge Intervals" might immediately suggest a sorting approach).
💻 Code Editor: Hide the editor to encourage "whiteboard-style" thinking. Solve the logic on paper or in your head BEFORE you start typing.
🚀 The "Instant Reveal" Mechanism
Need to peek at the timer or check the difficulty? We’ve built a seamless reveal feature into every overlay:

Double-Click to Reveal: Simply double-click any overlay to instantly hide it for the current session.
Once revealed, the underlying content becomes interactive again immediately.
Refresh the page or use the extension popup to re-apply the overlays whenever you're ready to focus again.
