alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Claudoro, Pomodoro timer embedded in the Claude Code statusline
3 weeks ago I had a nasty accident and fractured my vertebrae. As I lay in bed I needed something to take my mind off it all so built "Claudoro".
Claudoro is a pomodoro timer built right into the Claude Code status line, as well as can be directly controlled from Claude Code and the CLI. A few years ago I built "pymodoro" which was great, but recently I felt I needed something embedded in the tools I actually use, and I also wanted something that was flexible, and I could tweak and nudge.
Anyway I hope it is useful to you, and I'd love some feedback on how to improve it.
Thank you...!

Love that it follows you from terminal to terminal, super useful.
Though, if you're following Cal Newport-ian rules, watching over multiple agents doing their work is no longer a 25 minute "deep work" Pomodoro, and god knows Newport has been complaining about it [1]

Opus is so slow these days what I really want is a bell sound to ring when it's done. I kick off some task and then it takes 3-12 minutes to complete. It's wrong, so I tell it to revert and try again with slightly different instructions.
I like this. Small tools inside the workflow feel much more useful than separate productivity apps I have to remember to open.
I recently had a nasty accident too and snapped my collar bone, broken tibia, and 6 broken ribs, so I can absolutely relate. Claude Code was there for me in a big way as well :-)
It's a long road to recovery. I'm 5 months in and still in a lot of pain, but it does (slowly) get better. Hope you're spirits stay up!
Great idea and I’ll definitely try it but all those flags needed to run the startup command scare me lol
Side note, many windows people still don't know about psmux https://github.com/psmux/psmux
tool is great by your readme is pure unreadable ai slop - try to naturalise it a bit
From the title I thought it’d be a timer for the agent itself, so it doesn’t waste time on endless thinking loops, etc.
