- Imagine a full Lens app as a Chrome extension, right next to MetaMask! 🪶
- The latest release of @focalize.lens adds support for individual desktop notifications.
Easily control the types of notifications you receive, or opt to have them combined into a single one with a total unread count.
My favorite feature is when you click on one, it leads you to the relevant deep link rather than simply a notifications screen! If I click the top one in the screenshot, for example, I'm brought directly to the comment from @punkess.lens where I can easily respond and engage.
- Focalize now has post drafts!
Drafts are automatically saved, so you don't have to think about it. Take your time, and don't fret if you accidentally close the window or hit the refresh button!

- Automatic post drafts are coming to Focalize in the next update! 🪶
