A lightweight VSCode extension that tracks your daily typing activity and helps you monitor your coding productivity.
✨ Features

Daily Auto-reset: Statistics automatically reset at midnight for a fresh start each day
7-day History: Hover over the status bar to view your input statistics for the past 7 days
