WizzyPoke

Team Mode and Social Nudges extend WizzyPoke's capabilities into collaborative and personal communication. Team Mode lets users create Team Squads for remote work, displaying team members' status as Online or Away in real-time. Members can send instant nudges for urgent meetings or quick questions, bypassing email and chat delays. Social Nudges allow pairing with a friend using a 6-digit code—the nudge then shakes their screen with sound on any website they are currently browsing. This works across all sites, from social media to streaming platforms, ensuring the recipient sees the nudge regardless of what they are doing. These features are optimized for remote collaboration, study groups, and maintaining social connections when text messages are ignored.

WizzyPoke operates through a straightforward four-step workflow: install the Chrome extension, choose a mode (Focus, Timer, Team, or Nudge), set up sites or share codes, and then take action. The extension uses Ghost Mode privacy by default—all nudges vanish within 4 seconds, and no history is kept on servers. There is no tracking of browsing history outside of Focus sites, and 90% of features function without creating an account. This approach lowers the barrier to use while maintaining high privacy standards. The extension works in the background across all browser tabs, requiring no configuration changes to existing websites. Users can switch between modes seamlessly based on their current needs.

Concrete use cases demonstrate WizzyPoke's effectiveness. A remote team uses Team Mode to nudge a colleague who missed a Slack message about an urgent meeting; the screen shake prompts an immediate response, saving time. A student sets a 25-minute Focus Monitor block on YouTube and social media, then gets a nudge when time is up, preventing procrastination. A developer uses Self Timer for a Pomodoro work session, with the screen shake signaling break time even if headphones are off. Friends use Social Nudges to get each other's attention when one is ignoring texts on Facebook—the shake with sound ensures a reply. These scenarios show improved responsiveness, focus, and team coordination, leading to better communication and time management.

WizzyPoke targets remote workers, students, freelancers, and small teams who need a simple way to get attention or stay focused. It is currently available as a Chrome extension, with potential support for other browsers. Pricing is tiered: a free Starter plan offers 3 nudges daily, Focus Monitor for one site, and one Self Timer per day. Personal Pro costs $3.99 per year, providing unlimited nudges, unlimited sites and timers, priority support, and lifetime history. Team Pro at $9.99 per year adds the ability to create Team Squads with unlimited team nudges, making it ideal for remote work and study groups. The summary takeaway: WizzyPoke is a unique browser focus nudge that combines attention capture with productivity tools, all while respecting user privacy.
