devtime-vscode
VS Code extension that tracks your coding time locally. No server, no account — just JSONL files on disk.
How it works
The extension writes events to ~/.devtime/events-YYYY-MM.jsonl:
{"ts":"2026-03-11T09:00:00+01:00","event":"heartbeat","project":"my-app","lang":"typescript","editor":"vscode"}
Events:
focus — VS Code gains focus or activatesblur — VS Code loses focus or deactivatesheartbeat — every 30s while editing, plus on editor/document changes
Install
Build the extension and install from VSIX, or run in development with F5.
npm install
npm run build
