ChatterBlocker: Slack App for Reducing Distractionss

A Slack app that helps minimize interruptions by automatically muting busy public channels during focus time, allowing you to concentrate.

What is ChatterBlocker?

ChatterBlocker is a productivity app for Slack that aims to eliminate distractions by automatically quieting busy public channels when you need to focus. It's designed for teams that rely on Slack for communication but find it can sometimes be disruptive or distracting, especially public channels where there is a constant stream of messages.

Here's how ChatterBlocker works: You select the public Slack channels you want to mute notifications for, along with setting your focus time by choosing start and end times. During the times you specify, ChatterBlocker will automatically mute notifications and activity from those public channels so you aren't interrupted by a steady stream of messages. When your focus time is over, notifications will resume as normal.

The key benefit of ChatterBlocker is giving you control over when you want to tune out activity in Slack's busy public channels. You can set daily or weekly recurring focus timeslots, and easily adjust settings anytime. It ensures you can minimize distractions during deep work sessions or meetings, without having to manually mute and unmute channels repeatedly.

ChatterBlocker operates seamlessly in the background, requiring no interaction once configured. It's great for remote teams and companies that are highly dependent on Slack for communication, helping balance productivity with keeping the benefits of public chat channels.
