CodeBuddy LevelUp

CodeBuddy LevelUp is a free, local-first VS Code productivity dashboard. It turns everyday coding activity into XP, streaks, project health insights, focus sessions, and lightweight code review without any paid API or server dependency.

Highlights

• Level dashboard with XP, daily goals, streaks, sessions, and activity pulse.
• Project Health scanner for TODO/FIXME markers, debug logs, long files, diagnostics, Git changes, and language breakdown.
• Local rule-based code review with light, savage, and destroy modes.
• Focus timer with XP rewards for completed sessions.
• Create/delete file sounds with a setting to turn them off.
• Theme options: Midnight, Matrix, and Solar.
• Fully local: no OpenAI key, cloud service, or server cost required.
