Block AI tools. Build focus. Track your raw coding streak.
Raw Code Focus is a VS Code extension that helps you practise coding without AI assistance. Start a timed focus session — Copilot, TabNine, Codeium and other AI completions are automatically disabled for the duration. When time's up, everything is silently restored.
Features
🚫 AI Blocking
Disables GitHub Copilot inline completions, Next Edit Suggestions, and inline chat (Ctrl+I / Cmd+I)
Disables TabNine, Codeium, and VS Code's built-in inline suggestions
Hides the "Generate code" empty-editor hint
Closes Copilot Chat panels automatically and re-checks every 3 seconds
Settings are written to both Global and Workspace targets so workspace overrides can't bypass the block
⏱ Timed Sessions
Choose any session length — defaults to 60 minutes

Sessions survive VS Code restarts and resume correctly
Stop early at any time with a confirmation prompt

How Blocking Works
When a session starts, Raw Code Focus writes the following VS Code settings to both Global and Workspace configuration targets:
Setting
Value during session
github.copilot.editor.enableAutoCompletions
false
github.copilot.enable
{ "*": false }
github.copilot.inlineSuggest.enable
false
github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.enabled
false
inlineChat.enabled
false
editor.inlineSuggest.enabled
false
chat.commandCenter.enabled
false
workbench.editor.empty.hint
"hidden"
tabnine.disable
true
codeium.enableConfig
{ "*": false }
All settings are restored to their original values when the session ends.
