DeskBuddy for VS Code

A friendly animated character lives in the DeskBuddy view of the Explorer sidebar and reminds you to drink water, take breaks, stretch and rest your eyes.

• Three free characters: Mika, Arjun and Zoe
• Water, break, stretch, eye rest and one custom reminder, each with its own interval
• Desk pet mode: the buddy strolls around its view
• If the view is hidden, reminders arrive as normal VS Code notifications

Commands (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P): DeskBuddy: Try a Reminder Now, DeskBuddy: Choose Character, DeskBuddy: Pause or Resume Reminders (1 hour), DeskBuddy: Preview Pro (Coming Soon).

Settings are under Settings > Extensions > DeskBuddy.

Pro (your photo as a buddy, trending characters) is not available yet; the preview only records interest.
