Dev Activity Tracker

Dev Activity Tracker is a Visual Studio Code extension that records development activity in the workspace you are working in.

It is designed as a simple local development activity tracker. Activity is recorded as plain-text files inside the workspace's .devlog folder.

Features

Session tracking

Records:

• Session start
• Session end
• Previous interrupted sessions
• Previous session duration

Environment tracking

Records basic development environment information:

• Operating system
• Node.js version
• Python version
• Git version
• GPU
• CUDA availability
• Environment variable names

Environment variable values are not recorded.

File activity tracking

Records:

• File open
• File save
• File close

API detection
