DevFocus

A Pomodoro timer built for developers, living right inside VSCode and Cursor.

Features

• Three modes — Classic (25/5 min), Deep Work (50/10 min), and fully Custom
• Circular progress arc — smooth visual countdown with phase-colour transitions
• Task label — name what you're working on; shown in the status bar tooltip
• Sound toggle — mute/unmute with one click directly in the panel
• Pause indicator — dimmed arc and "Paused" badge make state unambiguous
• Session dots — at-a-glance round progress with colour-coded states
• Status bar — live time and phase always visible without opening the sidebar
• Milestone notifications — celebration at every 5 completed sessions today
• Persistent state — timer survives VSCode restarts, restored as paused
• Auto-start — optionally starts the next work session automatically after a break
• Keyboard shortcuts — start/pause, reset, and skip break without touching the mouse
