JustClock

Automatic time tracking for Visual Studio. JustClock runs quietly in the background, measures how much time you actually spend working on each project, and syncs it to your account at https://justclock.dev.

Features

  • Automatic tracking — starts the moment Visual Studio loads, no manual start/stop.
  • Per-project time — detects the current project from the open solution (.sln) or folder (Open Folder mode).
  • Smart idle detection — pauses only on real inactivity, not just because you switched to a terminal, browser, or compiler while still working. Idle timeout is configurable.
  • Status bar indicator — always shows what's happening: working, idle, running in the background, or needs configuration.
  • Privacy by design — nothing is sent anywhere until you provide an API key and explicitly accept the privacy policy. Until then, time is tracked locally only.

Getting started

  1. Get your API key at https://justclock.dev.
  2. Open Tools > Options > JustClock (or run JustClock: Open Settings from the Tools menu / Ctrl+Q).
  3. Paste your API key and check Privacy Policy Accepted.

That's it — the status bar will confirm tracking is active:

⏱ JustClock: MyProject

Status bar states

Indicator Meaning
⏱ JustClock: MyProject actively tracking
⏱ JustClock: MyProject · idle no activity for longer than the idle timeout — tracking paused
⏱ JustClock: MyProject · configure in Tools > Options > JustClock API key or privacy consent missing — nothing is being sent yet

Configuration

All settings live under Tools > Options > JustClock:

Setting Default Description
API Key (empty) Your personal key from https://justclock.dev
Sync Interval (seconds) 120 How often accumulated time is sent to the backend (60–300)
Idle Detection Enabled on Pause tracking after a period of inactivity
Idle Timeout (minutes) 5 Minutes of inactivity after which tracking pauses
Privacy Policy Accepted off Required before any data is sent

Privacy

JustClock collects only two things: project name and time spent, in seconds. No source code, file contents, or keystrokes are ever read or transmitted. Data leaves your machine only after you enter an API key and accept the privacy policy — see the full Privacy Policy.

Requirements

  • Visual Studio 2022 (Community, Professional, or Enterprise), version 17.14 or later
