🧠 Focus Tasks

Focus Tasks helps you stay productive by keeping your top 3 priorities front and center — right inside VS Code.

Add, check off, or delete tasks directly from a clean sidebar view. No clutter, no distractions — just the 3 things that matter most.


✨ Features

  • ✅ Add and manage all your focus tasks with ease
  • 🗂️ Dedicated Focus Tasks sidebar view
  • 🖱️ One-click to mark tasks complete
  • ❌ Right-click to delete tasks
  • ➕ Add tasks via the panel title bar + button
  • 🎯 Toggle the panel with a keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T
  • 💾 Task state is saved per workspace

🚀 Why Focus Tasks?

Too many to-do apps? Focus Tasks is built for developers who want:

  • Clarity on what matters today
  • Zero bloat or setup time
  • Tasks embedded in their coding flow

Just you and your top priorities — nothing more.


🛠 Usage

  1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
  2. Run Focus Tasks: Add a New Task
    (or click the ➕ in the sidebar panel)
  3. View your tasks in the Focus Tasks panel
  4. ✅ Click a task to mark it done
    ❌ Right-click to delete

🎹 Keyboard Shortcut

Use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T to toggle the Focus Tasks panel.


🗒️ Notes

  • Tasks are saved per workspace, so you can stay focused on what matters for each project.
