Spotify Focus Analytics for Audiobook Listeners

Local listening and focus time insights that never leave your device.

💡 Overview

If music is part of how you focus, it helps to see the pattern. Spoken word benefits from speed control more than music does.

The dashboard shows a focus time counter for daily and weekly listening, a seven-day activity chart and leaderboards for top artists and tracks. The extension states that this data is stored in local browser storage with no external trackers, and that nothing is logged in Incognito mode.

🧭 A Day of Audiobook Listeners

Spoken word benefits from speed control more than music does.

The problem: Fiddling with tabs to change speed is annoying.

The fix: Use the speed control from 0.5x to 2.0x in the popup.

🚀 Try It in Three Steps

  1. Open the dashboard from the extension.
  2. Check the focus counter and the seven-day chart.
  3. Use the top artists and tracks lists to find your best focus music.
