Connect your account

Each person uses their own token. It is kept in VS Code secret storage, never in settings.

1. In Wrike, click your profile picture → Apps & Integrations → API.
2. Create a new app (any name).
3. Click Create v4 token and copy it. Wrike shows it only once.
4. In VS Code run Wrike: Set API Token and paste it. You should see "Connected as ".

If the token is rejected and your account is in the EU data center, set wrikeTimelog.host to app-eu.wrike.com.

Other commands: Wrike: Clear API Token, Wrike: Refresh Tasks, Wrike: Log Time, Wrike: Stop Timer.

• On weekdays at reminderTime you get a notification if you are below the daily target.

Tasks are grouped as Pinned (your patterns), This week (tasks you logged time on this week or that are assigned to you and scheduled for this week, the same rows as Wrike's timesheet, each with the hours you logged this week), Recent (other tasks you logged time on in the last lookbackDays days) and Assigned to me (active tasks).
