VS Code extension

See less. Focus more.

Built for deep work

Your project stays complete. Your view stays intentional.

01

One-click focus

Cycle presets from the status bar or jump directly to one from the Command Palette.

02

Native behavior

Presets are ordinary files.exclude maps, so VS Code does the hiding without a custom file explorer.

03

Project-aware

Keep presets in a shareable .focusmoderc.json or configure them per workspace and per user.

04

Safe by design

Your existing exclusions are preserved. Switching views never moves, edits, or deletes project files.

Less clutter, one click away

Put the code back at the center.

Install Explorer Focus Presets and choose how much of the project you need to see right now.
