Spotify Focus Analytics for Graduate Students

💡 Overview

If music is part of how you focus, it helps to see the pattern. Months-long writing needs sustained, uninterrupted focus.

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.

• Zero-polling design: A MutationObserver updates the UI only when the page changes, keeping CPU and memory use low.
