Show HN: Claudoro, Pomodoro timer embedded in the Claude Code statusline
Claudoro is a Pomodoro timer embedded in the Claude Code statusline, controllable from both Claude Code and the CLI. It was built by the author while recovering from a fractured vertebrae, as a flexible, integrated productivity tool based on an earlier project called pymodoro.
Background
- **Pomodoro Technique**: A time-management method where you work in focused 25-minute intervals ("pomodoros") followed by short breaks. Popular in productivity circles.
- **Claude Code**: An AI coding assistant from Anthropic that runs in the terminal. Developers can give it natural-language commands to help write, edit, or debug code. It has a "statusline" (a persistent info bar at the bottom of the terminal) where this timer lives.
- **Show HN**: A category of posts on Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com) where makers share side projects. The audience is mainly developers and tech enthusiasts.
- The author built Claudoro while recovering from a spinal fracture. It embeds a Pomodoro timer directly into Claude Code's statusline so you can start/stop it via chat commands or the command line — bridging AI-assisted coding with a classic productivity ritual.
