FocusReader vs Launch Control
Facts from each product's IndieNeed listing, side by side.
FocusReader is a local-first Chrome extension for distraction-free reading and source-backed quote saving. Open an article in a clean reader view, save exact passages with the page title, source URL, domain, timestamp, and an optional category, then export the full library as Markdown.
Launch Control is a dependency-aware operations dashboard for founders and project owners. It separates work into Act Now, Waiting, Human Gate, and Blocked, then calculates the next legitimate action instead of treating every unfinished task as equally actionable.
