Focus mode is a vs code extension to help developers stay concentrated while coding by applying the pomodoro technique directly inside Visual Studio Code.
Single click to start timer
Again tap to pause(it will turn blue)

I made a focus mode extension where a 25 min timer shows up, you can single click to pause and double click to reset
This week I built my first VS Code extension, Focus Mode Pro — a Pomodoro timer that lives in the status bar, blocks distracting file types while I’m coding, and tracks daily focus streaks. I split the code into four clean modules (timer, streak, blocker, extension entry) so each piece had one job, which made the whole thing way easier to reason about than I expected.
The build itself went surprisingly smoothly. TypeScript compiled first try, and vsce package produced a valid .vsix with no real fight. The frustrating part was local testing — F5 threw weird connection errors I couldn’t decipher, so I gave up on debugging that and went straight to packaging the .vsix and uploading it to the Marketplace and GitHub Releases instead.
