pomodoro for Claude Code

A Pomodoro timer that lives inside Claude Code. One timer is shared by every Claude Code session on your machine: start it in one terminal and every other session shows the same countdown in the prompt footer, like 🍅 focus 18:42. When a phase ends you get a macOS notification with a system sound, and during a break your prompts can be allowed, warned about or blocked.

Install

In a Claude Code terminal session:

/plugin install pomodoro --marketplace tiemotm/claude-pomodoro

Answer y to add the marketplace, then pick a scope (user scope makes it available in every session).

Commands

CommandWhat it does
/pomodoro start [focus] [break]Start a new series. Minutes are optional, e.g. /pomodoro start 50 10.
/pomodoro next [focus] [break]Step forward: start the break after a focus, or the next focus after a break (skips the rest of a running break).
/pomodoro pauseFreeze the running focus or break.
/pomodoro resumeContinue where you paused.
/pomodoro stopEnd the series.
/pomodoro statsToday, this week and all-time numbers.
/pomodoroCurrent status and help.

By default nothing starts by itself: after a focus the timer waits in done until /pomodoro next starts the break, and after a break it waits in ready until /pomodoro next starts the next focus. An idle desk never counts as focus time. Set autoBreak to start breaks right away. start begins a new series, next continues one; stats track both.

Config

Set these under /config. Values given to a command win for that series.

FieldDefaultMeaning
focusMinutes25Focus length, 1-180
breakMinutes5Break length, 1-60
breakPromptswarnDuring a break: allow, warn (toast, prompt goes through) or block
bypassPrefix>>A prompt starting with this goes through even when blocked; the prefix is removed
notifytruemacOS notification when a phase ends
focusEndSoundGlassSystem sound when focus ends, or none
breakEndSoundHeroSystem sound when a break ends, or none
autoBreakfalseStart the break as soon as focus ends instead of waiting for /pomodoro next

Only prompts you type are gated. Slash commands, ! shell commands, background task notices, /loop triggers and claude -p runs always pass.

Notifications

Notifications use osascript and are macOS only. The banner comes from "Script Editor": if you see nothing on first use, allow notifications for Script Editor under System Settings > Notifications. On other platforms you still get the in-app toast.

Good to know

  • The timer state lives in the plugin's store, so all sessions agree and a restart loses nothing.
  • Every open session shows the phase-end toast; the macOS banner and the stats booking happen once.
  • With no Claude Code session open, nothing can notify you. The next session you open shows where the timer stands.
  • The footer HUD shows in the terminal and the desktop app.
