The Badger Who Badgers You Back to Work .
A lightweight VS Code extension that nudges you back to work when distractions pull you away.
Badger Badger is built for developers who want to stay in flow. It detects when you lose focus while coding and gently reminds you to return before distractions take over.
Context switching kills productivity. A small nudge at the right moment keeps you in deep work longer and helps you recover faster when your attention drifts.
Knows when VS Code stops being your active window.
Reminders that get harder to ignore the longer you're away.
Allows you to choose your intensity.
Installing Badger Badger manually in VS Code takes less than a minute. Follow these steps to get started:
1. Open the Extensions panel in VS Code
2. Click the ⋯ menu in the top‑right corner
3. Select Install from VSIX…
4. Choose the downloaded .vsix file
5. Reload VS Code if prompted
After installation, Badger Badger will begin monitoring your focus automatically.
Does it track me? No — it only checks if VS Code is active.
Does this mine crypto on my machine? No — badgers don't understand the concept of a decentralized digital currency.
Currently supports Windows.
