Using dot is simple:

1. Click the dot icon floating on any webpage
2. A new tab opens with the cosmic portal
3. Focus on the center point for 60 seconds
4. When the timer ends, you'll automatically return to your work

The focus exercise is designed to train your attention. Switching tabs defeats the purpose. If you try to leave, dot will gently remind you to stay focused. This isn't a restriction—it's a feature that helps build your concentration muscle.

Yes! dot is based on research by Stanford neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman. The technique of focusing on a single point for 30-60 seconds has been shown to prime the brain's attention networks, making it easier to maintain focus on subsequent tasks. It's like a warm-up for your brain.
