About LaunchDesk
The Command Center for Startup Founders
Replace your boring new tab with a founder's cockpit. LaunchDesk gives you everything you need to track focus, manage tasks, launch products, and build your startup every single day. Instead of opening a new tab and losing momentum, use it as a reminder of what matters most.
11 Founder Widgets in One New Tab
Each widget is purpose-built for the specific problems startup founders hit every single day:
- Daily Focus: Pin one high-impact task every morning to force single-task mode and ship what matters.
- Pomodoro Timer: Three preset modes (25/5, 50/10, 90/20) with hard-locked distraction blocking during focus blocks.
- Revenue Tracker: Set a monthly revenue goal and track progress visually to keep your targets front and center.
- Task Manager: A lightweight task list with priority tagging for daily organization without the complexity of a full project manager.
- Launch Center: Generate press releases, media pitches, LinkedIn posts, and Product Hunt descriptions from one panel.
- Startup Metrics: Connect to Stripe, Plausible, or PostHog to pull live MRR, traffic, and conversion data into your dashboard.
- Goals System: Define quarterly milestones and break them into weekly targets to track progress without leaving your browser.
- Growth Analytics: View a 7-day trend of focus time, tasks completed, and streaks to measure your productivity. r>
- Founder Stack: A curated bookmark hub for Sales, Marketing, Finance, Dev, and Ops tools.
- Daily Founder Brief: AI-curated quotes, launch opportunity tips, and growth tactics refreshed daily.
- Daily Reflections: End-of-day journaling prompts designed specifically for founders to track their thinking.

Privacy and Performance
