✨ Features

📊 Real-Time Activity Tracking

WacheIt runs silently in the background. It detects when you are typing, scrolling, or editing files and logs your time automatically. It strictly distinguishes between "active coding" and "idle time," ensuring your metrics are accurate.

📂 Project & Language Detection

Automatically identifies which project folder you are working in and tracks usage by file type. See exactly how much time you spend on JavaScript vs. Python, or Frontend vs. Backend.

⏸️ Smart Idle Detection

Privacy is key. If you stop coding for a few minutes, WacheIt automatically pauses tracking. It resumes the moment you return to your keyboard, so you never have to remember to start or stop a timer.

📈 Insightful Dashboard

Syncs your data to the cloud to generate beautiful visualizations. View your daily coding streaks, weekly heatmaps, and deep work sessions.
