WhatsApp Focus - Hide Chat List

About

WhatsApp Focus - Chrome Extension

Hide your chat list sidebar to focus on your current conversation without distractions.

To enhance productivity and reduce distractions when using WhatsApp Web, WhatsApp Focus allows you to hide the chat list sidebar with a single click. Your chat list remains hidden until you toggle it back on, giving you more screen space and helping you concentrate on the conversation at hand. You can quickly toggle focus mode using a keyboard shortcut or by clicking the toggle button in the extension popup menu.

The extension adapts to your workflow by remembering your preference across page reloads and browser sessions. Key features include:

- **Toggle Button Integration**: Seamlessly integrated eye icon button in WhatsApp Web's navigation bar
- **Keyboard Shortcut**: Quick toggle with `Ctrl+Shift+F` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Shift+F` (Mac)
- **Extension Popup**: Control focus mode directly from Chrome's extension toolbar
- **Smooth Animations**: Elegant sidebar collapse/expand with professional transitions
- **State Persistence**: Automatically remembers your preference across sessions
- **Multiple Tabs Sync**: Synchronizes focus mode state across all WhatsApp Web tabs

**Quick Toggle**: Use the keyboard shortcut to quickly activate or deactivate focus mode (default: `Ctrl+Shift+F` / `Cmd+Shift+F` on Mac). To customize this, navigate to: `chrome://extensions/shortcuts`
