A VS Code extension that delivers a daily anti-motivational quote at 9am — for the days when inspiration just isn't cutting it.
😈 "Every dead body on Mt. Everest was once a highly motivated person, so… maybe calm down."
How it works
- Every day at 9am local time, a notification popup appears with an anti-motivational quote
- Click New Quote to cycle through more quotes without dismissing the daily prompt
- Click Dismiss (or close the popup with X) to mark today as done — you won't be bothered again until tomorrow
- The extension remembers which quotes you've already seen and avoids repeating them until you've gone through all 116
- Activates automatically when VS Code finishes loading — no setup needed after install
