Focus

A small focus timer. Start a block of 25 minutes, pause when something interrupts you, resume, and see how many minutes you focused today. The window shows a live countdown with a ring, and the command keeps the daily total.

What you can ask

  • "Start a focus block."
  • "Start a focus block of 50 minutes."
  • "Pause my focus."
  • "Resume my focus."
  • "Stop my focus."
  • "How long is left?"
  • "How much did I focus today?"

The command

focus                  minutes left and end time, or that nothing is running, plus today's total
focus status           the same
focus start [minutes]  start a block, 25 minutes by default
focus pause            pause the running block
focus resume           resume a paused block
focus stop             stop and add the focused minutes to today
focus today            today's total focused time

A block runs in the background. Only the minutes you actually focused are added to today, so time spent paused does not count. The state stays in state.json in the plugin's own folder, and no data leaves your house.

The window

The window is a countdown from 25 minutes with a ring, a Start button, Pause and Resume, and Reset. It fills any size you give it.

What it costs

Nothing. No account and no key.
