FocusFlow v2.7 is a release about restraint. Not because there's less to offer — but because we asked a different question: what should happen when someone installs FocusFlow for the first time and just wants a better font?
The answer shaped everything in this update. Cleaner defaults. Power tucked away rather than up front. And full support for Arc, so no reader gets left behind.
Here's what's new.
🔤 Font Only Mode
The single most common thing people want from FocusFlow is also the simplest: swap the font on every webpage to something easier to read. That's it. No bigger text, no wider spacing, no surprises — just the font.
Font Only Mode makes that the default. Enable it, and FocusFlow applies your chosen dyslexia-friendly font to every page — OpenDyslexic, Lexend, Atkinson Hyperlegible, or whichever you prefer — without touching a single other setting. Line height stays the same. Font size stays the same. Word spacing stays the same. The page looks exactly like it did before, just easier to read.
This is on by default for everyone. If you've been hesitant to try an accessibility extension because you didn't want your pages to look different, this is the mode for you.
For readers who want the full typographic experience — scaled text, adjusted spacing, custom line height — everything is still there. Font Only Mode is simply the gentler on-ramp.
⚙️ Advanced Typography, Tucked Away
FocusFlow has always offered deep control over how text renders: font size scaling, line height, letter spacing, word spacing. Those settings are powerful. They're also a lot to encounter on your first day.
In v2.7, the four spacing and scaling controls are now grouped under an Advanced section inside the Typography tab. The font picker stays front and center. Everything else collapses into a single expandable row — visible when you want it, gone when you don't.
Nothing has been removed. Nothing has changed about how these controls work. They're just no longer the first thing you see. That small shift makes the default experience feel significantly lighter, especially for new users who just want a better font without a settings audit.
If you rely on these controls regularly, the behavior is unchanged — expand Advanced once and the section stays open.
🌐 Arc Browser Support
Arc handles browser panels differently from Chrome. It doesn't expose the Side Panel API that FocusFlow uses to open the full Advanced Sidebar. The result: in previous versions, Arc users couldn't access a full-featured panel at all.
FocusFlow v2.7 fixes this. When Arc's Side Panel isn't available, the extension now automatically opens the sidebar in a dedicated browser tab instead. Everything works exactly as it does in the panel — all four tabs, all settings, per-site typography, keyboard shortcuts, the full experience. No reduced mode, no workaround, no missing features.
This applies to any browser where the Side Panel API is unavailable, not just Arc. FocusFlow will always find a way to surface the full settings interface.
