Focus-time, a tool to trigger your OS Focus Mode based on your calendar
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.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years.
