Motion 2.0 — Transform your browser into a powerful work application

Hey Product Hunt! We've just launched Motion 2.0, a productivity extension for Chrome's power users. If you spend hours working in Chrome every day, Motion helps you get things done faster, be more organized, and stay in flow. We built Motion 2.0 by asking ourselves "if we were to create a new browser for work, what would it look like?" While keeping all the distraction-prevention features of 1.0 (1.0 is a feature of 2.0), we also broadened our approach. After talking to hundreds of users, we surfaced the most painful problems for Chrome power users — most of them fall under a few categories: ★ Too many tabs ★ - we solve this with our tab management features, which let you group tabs together into "subtabs", search instantly for specific tabs, and close unnecessary tabs easily. Intended for people who regularly have 20+ tabs open. ★ Navigation feels cumbersome ★ - getting things done in the browser feels like a struggle (for any task - having to constantly open up new tabs, switch between tabs, or find the right tab). We solve this through keyboard shortcuts that automate your most common tasks. For example: Cmd-Shift-U gives a sneak-peek of your calendar from your current page, Cmd-; opens up an email composer, option-z lets you switch between your last two used tabs. Motion is packed with these time-saving shortcuts. ★ Getting sidetracked by other tasks ★ - we help you stay on track with a Pomodoro timer, a task management system, and a daily report of how you spent your time. ★ Memory & CPU ★ - Our built-in tab suspension automatically puts your tab into sleep if you haven't used it for a while (with exceptions — we don't touch tabs you've pinned or have typed in). ★ Getting distracted ★ - we've built heavily on Motion 1.0 to help you avoid distractions - with customized options for each site like "Hide Youtube recommended videos" or "Hide Twitter trending bar," and customized experience like "Listen to background music only" or "Use Messenger instead of Facebook." ★ Other productivity problems ★ - hard to find Google docs, always re-writing the same sentences, missing meetings...etc. We've built unique solutions for each of them. We worked closely with 100 beta testers over the past several months to iterate on our solutions to different problems of the browser, and we feel like they each provide meaningful value now. So, we present Motion 2.0 to you. We know there's a lot we can improve on, so we'd love your feedback — let us know how we can make the browser better for you!

I’ve been using Motion Pro and it has been easily the most impactful tool on my productivity. 100% worth it

I use Motion everyday! Literally saves me an hour of time!

Been using v1 for a while and love it! Such an improvement over RescueTime. Quick ask for the founders: Some of your new commands conflict with some web software I use. Will you add support for different trigger keys? First one I noticed: Shift+CMD/Ctrl+K is how you import a file intro Figma

Super effective - pro version streamlines my workflow in more ways than I could have imagined!

Motion is the first chrome productivity tool I've left installed :) Amazing team!

I use Motion everyday for the last 3 months. Love it!

Big fan of the product and the team! I have motion turned on and use it every day. Super helpful to keep me focused/accountable + the new productivity features in 2.0 let me move faster throughout my day.

Looks great! Any love for Firefox?

Motion has astronomically enhanced my browser experience by creating simple and clever shortcuts for the most painstaking routine tasks in browser!!

I installed Motion this week and love the keyboard shortcuts. My favorite is the Join Meeting option - saves me so much time when trying to get on calls now.

I use Motion all the time! Amazing time saver.

The idea is amazing! Is there any chance there'll be one for firefox???

Love motion 1.0! Excited to see that you move it to the next level

I've had motion for awhile now and pumped to try this out!

Saving time with this extension is not a joke, it saves you at every corner!

Love it, crazy progress! The idea of auto-suspending tabs is great

Wow, love all of the new features you guys have been able to develop in such a short period of time!

Motion 2.0 Pro has been awesome. I'm a tab hoarder (literally used to have hundreds of tabs stemming from HN, Wikipedia, PH), and my workspace feels way more manageable now. It feels like it was really made for Chrome power users like me. As a Chrome extension, it also works on any Chromium browser like Brave, which is what I use. Excited for whats to come!

I'm really liking this so far - Well done...
