Ember Time — Developer Productivity & Code Tracking

Automatic, privacy-first code time tracking and deep work analytics for software engineers.

⚡ Features

⏱️ Precision Time Tracking: Automatically tracks time spent across projects, languages, and git branches as you code.
🛡️ Privacy-First Architecture: Only records activity metadata. Zero source code or keystroke contents are ever inspected or transmitted.
📶 Offline Resilient Queue: Coding on an airplane or disconnected? Events are buffered safely to local encrypted storage and seamlessly synced when connectivity returns.
⚡ One-Click Sign In: Sign in effortlessly via your browser with direct VS Code deep-linking (vscode://).
📊 Rich Status Bar & Insights: View your daily or all-time stats directly in your editor status bar with interactive Markdown tooltips.
🌐 Multilingual Support: Built-in support for 13+ languages (English, Urdu, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, etc.).
🔒 Privacy Guard: Automatic .env & secrets masking, .emberignore workspace exclusion, and file path obfuscation modes.

Install Ember Time (jeevavarshan.ember-time-jeeva1070) from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace or Open VSX.

Press Cmd + Shift + P (or Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows/Linux).
Type Ember: Enter token and paste your API token, or click "Sign in via Browser" from your dashboard to connect in one click.

Your coding time will begin tracking immediately in the status bar at the bottom of your editor.

The status bar shows today's tracked coding time. It uses your local calendar day, refreshes periodically, and resets to zero when the date changes.

We believe your intellectual property must remain entirely yours:

No Code Uploaded: We never read, buffer, or upload the contents of your files.
Automatic Secrets Filtering: Files matching .env, SSH keys (id_rsa), certificates (*.pem, *.key), and credential files are automatically ignored.
.emberignore: Add an .emberignore file to any workspace root to exclude specific files or directories.
Path Obfuscation: Toggle "ember.obfuscateFilenames": true to mask file names while preserving language breakdown.

Read our complete Privacy Policy for full architectural details.
