Tempo for VS Code

Tempo is a local-first developer activity tracker designed to help you understand how you spend your time coding. This extension captures high-fidelity editor events and sends them to the local Tempo Agent.

Note: This extension requires the Tempo Desktop Application (Agent) to be running to store and visualize data.

Features

• Privacy-First: All data is stored locally in ~/.tempo. No data leaves your machine.
• Automatic Tracking: Tracks file open, edit, save, and close events automatically.
• Granular Metrics: Understand time spent per project, language, and file.

Requirements

You must have the Tempo Agent running.

• If you have the Tempo Desktop App installed, simply launch it.
• Developers can run the agent manually via @tempo/agent.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• tempo.enabled: Enable/disable tracking (default: true).
• tempo.agentPort: Port where the local Agent is listening (default: 3000).
