⭐ PlanPulse — Your Productivity Companion in VS Code

PlanPulse is a lightweight yet powerful VS Code extension that helps developers plan tasks, stay focused, and build consistent progress — without ever leaving the editor.

No more switching between todo apps, sticky notes, or browsers.
Your plans live right where your code lives.

🚀 Why PlanPulse?

• Clear visual progress tracking
• Timely warnings when goals fall behind

Stay accountable. Stay productive. Stay in flow.
