🎮 Productivity MEETS gamification.

What if coding felt as good as the next level-up in your favorite game?

LevelUp is an innovative way to boost your productivity by adding more fun to it. Along your daily work you collect Focus Points (FP), which you can claim and convert into XP. Looking into your dashboard gives you insights about your daily work - together with your coding level.

How much time do you lose each day because you have to think about what to do next, or procrastinate about starting?

LevelUp's to-do system along side it's gamification will keep your workflow sharp, engaging and fun - making you wonder how you ever coded without it.


✨ Your Coding Dashboard

Race against yesterday, track your focus, see your level.

Live Dashboard

Your dashboard displays the stats you've gathered. Set yourself a daily goal or simply enjoy watching the progress you've made.

💡 Tip: Hover the tooltips inside the dashboard to explore how each system works.



🧩 Focus Points (FP)

The system builds upon keystrokes, lines of code (LOC), focus time and an activity score - which determines how many Focus Points you actually earn. The system analyzes file types, line structure and lot more to ensure every point feels earned.


📝 Workspace Todos

Plan your tasks with clarity. Work with focus. No more mental reloads.

Todo System

LevelUp's to-do system will help you to unleash the full power of working with to-dos. Set clear goals and go into "doing" mode. Capture ideas and notes instantly. Link code snippets to them and free your mind from the worry of remembering everything.

Just one shortcut away:

  • Ctrl + T (Windows/Linux)
  • Cmd + T (Mac)

💰 The Vault System

Your reward builds up in real-time — right in your sight.

Vault System

Every action counts — reading, coding, everything. Start fresh each day, gain focus and push yourself further. Instant rewards give you that game feeling... where progress feels too good to stop.

The Vault turns your daily coding into a roguelike adventure, where your output counts!


⚡ Your Activity Tracker

Because the best code happens when you're in the zone.

Activity Tracker

It measures more than time. It recognizes when you're reading, coding, or drifting. That awareness becomes your Activity Score - which determines how many Focus Points you actually earn.

Stay present, stay in flow - and watch your numbers rise for the right reasons.


🧠 Anti-Cheat Engine

LevelUp motivates you through real progress

Spam Warning Spam Blocked

Spam, copy-paste, AI or idle? LevelUp knows.

No reward for no effort.


💬 Gamified Notifications

Short messages, big impact.

Notifications

Tiny notifications react to your focus, milestones, and daily moments. Little boosts that keep your coding mood alive.

  • ☕ "Morning warmup - Coffee and code, the classic combo"
  • 🏛️ "Rome wasn't coded in a day"
  • 🚀 "A small commit is still better than a perfect plan"

And yes — sometimes LevelUp roasts you too:

  • 📦 Empty claim – did you forget to work on something?
  • 🧠 Your brain worked harder than your fingers on that one.

See how many you can discover!


🛠 Customizable Settings

Your workflow, your rules. Customize your statusbar.

Settings

Customize your status bar, set personal daily goals, and make it yours with emoji icons — all accessible directly from the dashboard sidebar.


🧩 Designed with Principles

I built LevelUp guided by my belief that everyone deserves tools that respect their focus and their privacy. Unlike most other trackers, LevelUp lives where you code.
Everything stays on your machine, exactly where it belongs.

💬 Feedback from early testers

This Extension makes even repetitive tasks rewarding. I love it.”

“I used LevelUp for a while, when i accidentally deactivated it, i realized something was missing...
It didn't take long to notice how much I missed seeing those focus points add up in the vault.”
