Spotify Focus Analytics for UI and Graphic Designers

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. Design tools want the whole canvas, and switching windows breaks the pixel-level focus you build up.

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 UI and Graphic Designers

Design tools want the whole canvas, and switching windows breaks the pixel-level focus you build up.

The problem: Changing a track in the middle of a layout shouldn't require leaving your design file.

The fix: Park the mini-player in the toolbar popup and use the volume scroll wheel to duck music during client calls.

🚀 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.

✨ What You Get

  • Four default hotkeys: Shift+Alt+Up toggles play and pause, Right skips, Left goes back and Down pauses only.
  • Dynamic album-art backdrops: A blurred, color-adaptive background drawn from the current artwork, in dark or light theme.
