About Mochi

About >=PlayingFild
>=PlayingFild is an innovative productivity tool and tab manager designed to bring intelligent organization to your browser using advanced, context-aware technology. Unlike traditional tab managers that categorize pages strictly by URL, >=PlayingFild leverages on-device machine learning to classify tabs based on their actual content. This means the tool can dynamically distinguish whether you are using a website for productive work or distraction, even on the exact same domain.
With a strong emphasis on privacy, all machine learning classification occurs entirely on your local device. Your raw page content, HTML, and personal text never leave your browser. Additionally, the extension actively optimizes your workspace by automatically reordering tabs based on your usage patterns and closing unused tabs to prevent clutter.
To help you stay on track, >=PlayingFild features a focus reward system where you earn break time by maintaining focus, which you can spend when needed. The extension also includes per-window rules, focus timer modes, recap cards, and detailed productivity analytics to help you monitor and improve your daily digital habits.
