Focus Mode

Pro Feature

Your command center for meaningful Twitter engagement. Full context, AI-powered rewriting with 70+ tone options, templates, and distraction-free composition in one unified interface.

The Heart of ThreadTrak

Focus Mode is ThreadTrak's flagship reply composition experience. It opens a dedicated flyout panel displaying the full context of a tweet—author profile, your notes, AI analysis badges, and user tags—alongside a rich reply composer with AI rewriting, tone selection, snippets, saved templates, drafts, and scheduling.

Where to Find It

Access Method	Location	Action

Tree View	Node context menu	Select "Open in Focus Mode"

AI Provider Cascade

Focus Mode's AI features support multiple providers with automatic fallback.

OpenAI

API key configured

LM Studio

Local server running + connected

Chrome AI

Chrome 129+ with Gemini Nano enabled

When set to "Auto," the system tries each provider in order until one succeeds.

Troubleshooting

Focus Mode Won't Open

Queue might be empty or no active item selected

Fix: Add items to queue from Tree View, then click Focus button

AI Rewrite Not Working

No AI provider configured or all providers failing

Fix: Check AI Settings for valid OpenAI API key. Ensure LM Studio is running if using local LLM. Update Chrome for Chrome AI support.

Send Button Disabled

X API not connected or tweet over character limit

Fix: Connect X API in Settings. Check character counter (must be green/yellow).

Suggestions Tab Shows 'Off'

AI Text Generation disabled in settings

Fix: Go to Settings → AI → Enable 'Text Generation'

Media Upload Fails

File too large (max 5MB) or wrong format

Fix: Use JPEG, PNG, or WebP under 5MB. Max 4 images or 1 GIF.

Scheduled Reply Didn't Post

Chrome wasn't open at scheduled time

Fix: Keep Chrome open. Focus Mode uses browser-based scheduling.

Known Limitations

Limitation	Reason
5MB media limit	Twitter API restriction
4 images max	Twitter API restriction
GIF replaces images	Twitter mutual exclusivity
Scheduling requires Chrome open	No server-side scheduling
Max 2 tones	Prevents conflicting AI instructions
