Simple Usage Tracker

Simple Tracker for VS Code

I wanted a tracker to see where my times goes inside of VS Code. I didn't want to use a 3rd party service to do it. So, I built this to track usage by day and write to a JSON file in the user's home directory.

Install it, let it run, and the metrics will build up. Then, check in later for a fun surprise!

Tracks

• Workspace folder names
• Seconds with that workspace open
• What branches you edited on
• What extensions you're working on and how many times you saved/edited them
• Tasks executed
• Debug sessions started

None of this data leaves your system.

How to view current metrics

Use the status bar item (on the right) which shows you the last day usage and seven day usage.

Plans

Soon I will add a 'wrapped', which will give you some fun metrics based on your usage.

If you want to see the ideas for wrapped, see ./wrapped.md, though you might spoil the fun!
