Features

  • Start, pause, and reset the current focus timer.
  • Keep an all-time focus total that is not reset with the current timer.
  • Earn 10 credits for every completed 10-minute focus block.
  • Spend credits on garden objects.
  • Automatically write a Markdown progress note inside your vault.
  • Configure the Markdown progress note path in the plugin settings.
