⚡ Focus Timer

A minimalist, distraction-free focus timer that lives directly inside your VS Code status bar. Stay in your flow state, execute your tasks, and keep your workflow lean without ever leaving your editor.


✨ Features

  • Instant Activation: Start and stop your focus sessions directly from the status bar with a single click.
  • Real-Time Tracking: Watch your remaining time tick down quietly in the background without intrusive UI pop-ups.
  • Customizable Durations: Not everyone works on a strict 25-minute loop. Customize your deep-work intervals to fit your specific rhythm.
  • Zero Bloat: Built to be incredibly lightweight. It only wakes up when you need it and takes up zero unnecessary screen real estate.

🚀 How to Use

  1. Click the ▶ Start Focus button in the bottom-right status bar of your editor.
  2. Get to work.
  3. When the time is up, you'll receive a notification that it's time to take a quick break.
  4. Click the timer again anytime to pause the session early.

Alternatively, you can open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and type Toggle Focus Timer.

⚙️ Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings so you can tailor it to your exact needs:

  • focusTimer.duration: Set the exact number of minutes your focus session should last (Default: 25).

To change this, open your VS Code Settings (Ctrl+, / Cmd+,), search for Focus Timer, and enter your preferred minute count.
