All tracked times are saved automatically, can be exported, reset, and viewed in a panel — with a live status bar timer.

  • Cumulative time tracking per file
  • JSON export of all tracked times
  • Time reset per file
  • Explorer panel overview
  • Total editing time summary
  • Sort order toggle (most/least time)
  • Optional Pomodoro reminder (after 25 minutes)

📂 Commands

  • Export Time Tracker JSON
    → Save all tracked times to a file
  • Reset Time for Current File
    → Set current file time back to zero
  • Show Time Tracker Panel
    → Display the side panel overview
  • Toggle Time Sort Order
    → Sort files ascending or descending by tracked time
