Show 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...!

Ooo that's cool thank you. That's really useful! My other CLI project was: https://github.com/emson/pymodoro

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!

Fantastic. I think these small productivity tools embedded in harnesses is pretty powerful. I especially like that you can get the AI to use it and also just pop into the CLI. Also nice to generate useful web dashboards etc
