A highly customizable Pomodoro Timer extension for VS Code with sounds and animation support upon session completion. It runs entirely in the status bar so it doesn't take up any editor tabs or panels.
How it works
The extension adds a small timer to your bottom status bar. It cycles through work sessions and breaks based on your settings.
When a session finishes, it plays a system chime and shows a notification. You can click the timer in the status bar at any time to open a quick menu where you can start, pause, reset, or skip phases.
