    focus-time is a CLI tool for macOS and Windows that triggers your desktop OS's Focus Mode feature (and other arbitrary shell commands), based on blocker events you defined in your calendar. Without this tool, I would always have to _manually_ stop (and restart) programs during planned focus periods, or trigger the focus (assist) mode on and off manually.

    Hi HN, I built FlowTime. I love Pomodoro but often hit peak focus around minute 25; the fixed break emptied my working memory and I lost the thread. FlowTime lets you work as long as you’re in flow, then take a break equal to 20% of the focus time. One-tap Work → Next Break, task-linked tracking, and a day/week/month/year stats dashboard. Tech: Next.js + TypeScript; data is local-only (no signup). Known limits: single-device data; sync may come later. Would love feedback on: edge cases, UX flow, and what would make this truly useful for creative/deep work.
