Show HN: Claudoro, Pomodoro timer embedded in the Claude Code statusline (github.com)

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...!

PS this is a write up all about how it works etc: https://benemson.com/blog/agents/claudoro-pomodoro-timer-cla...

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.

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!

tool is great by your readme is pure unreadable ai slop - try to naturalise it a bit

Great idea and I’ll definitely try it but all those flags needed to run the startup command scare me lol

I like this. Small tools inside the workflow feel much more useful than separate productivity apps I have to remember to open.

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.

Your website is broken btw - Clicking into another article through related work goes to the same page

Nice. I think there will be a cottage industry of porting every Mac menu bar utility to Claude. I can't use this until it doesn't show seconds. A MM:SS timer is tolerable when it's in my menu bar, but a ticking timer right where my focus is during a work session would be very distracting to me. The best version of this, for me, would be one that leans into Claude's ability to customize its own statusbar. If Claudoro is in charge of writing timer data to somewhere Claude can see it, I can tell Claude exactly how to display the timer in the statusline.

This is pretty funny. One thing that I like about the pomodoro method is the ticking of a timer though. On the other hand maybe if it's quiet it won't bother other people.
