How It Works

1. Extension monitors VS Code activity (file edits, saves, creates)
2. Activity is logged locally with timestamps
3. Every 15 seconds, activity batch is sent to Supabase
4. Dashboard aggregates data into daily summaries
5. Team can view analytics on shared dashboard

Privacy & Security

✅ Tracked Data:

• Time spent per file
• File extension/type
• Project name

• Variable names or functions
• Terminal commands
• Keyboard input or text

🔒 Security:

• All data encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS)

• Data under your full control

Troubleshooting

Extension not tracking?
