Boost Your Coding Productivity - The Fun Way

Built to make your life in the editor as enjoyable as the games you play. Experience gamification as a tool to support your focus, consistency and fun. Try it out and turn your focus and progress into something you can see.


Live Dashboard

As you code, you earn Focus Points (FP) based on hard metrics like keystrokes, lines of code (LOC) and your focus time. Claim them, convert them into XP, and notice that coding not only feels more productive but also doubles the fun!

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

🧩 Focus Points (FP)

LevelUp is based on Focus Points. To make a fair measurement - there is to the previously mentioned metrics in addition also an Activity Score that determines how many Focus Points you actually earn. It represents your current level of concentration. In the overall game, this gives us a metric that we can compare with other days to see how we are performing, and it's also fun to collect them.


💰 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!


📝 Smart Todo

Your work, always where you left it.

Todo System

Break work into small, clear tasks. Track what you did and when. Link code directly to tasks. Leave notes so the next context-switch costs you nothing.

Estimations, activity log, backlog, timer — everything to keep your head free and your work visible.

Just one shortcut away:

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

⚡ 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.


✨ Focus Point Charts

Insights built from your actual focus.

FP-Charts

Your Focus Points turn into visual patterns over time. See when you perform at your best, where your focus drops and when you take breaks.

See a clear picture of how you work.


🧠 Anti-Cheat Engine

LevelUp motivates you through real progress

Spam Warning

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

No reward for no effort.


💬 Gamified Notifications

Celebrate the small steps along the way.

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 experience.

Settings

Which style do you prefer - emoji or more native? Set your own daily goals or choose what you want to see. 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 the community

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.” Just wanted to give a shout out to @Sinan for making my VS code look 10x cooler XD”

_ I was looking for a way to gamify my leetcode training while off the market, instead of wasting my time playing games, a random thought lead me to search for the keyword "gamify" in vscode extensions, and found LevelUp. I can see how each hour of my day can make a difference if i decide to train and collect points, or waste time, all thanks to this extension. - senior software engineer”_
